Chimney Liner

BUYING YOUR FLUE LINERS AND WHAT TO LOOK FOR

There are many types of flue liners on the market for wood burners and it's often difficult to know what to choose.

Chimney liners for wood burners and stoves should be durable and capable of standing up to the force of being pulled through the chimney stack. The liner should also be able to withstand the high temperatures generated when the wood burner is in use and during damp conditions that often occur inside chimneys. 

At National chimney supplies we only sell superior solid fuel flexible liners that are manufactured from the best grade of stainless steel. This will ensure that the liner you choose will last for many years and we offer a lifetime warranty on our flue liners*. Also make sure that the liner you buy is the right size for your Installation. We offer our liners in diameters from 4" - 8".

Do I need a chimney liner?

In most situations you will need to line the chimney flue when installing a wood burning or multi-fuel stove appliance or fitting an open fireplace. The main reasons are:

Protecting the chimney structure

The liner acts as a barrier between the combustion byproducts and the chimney's masonry or metal structure, preventing damage to the chimney walls from heat, corrosive gases, and acidic condensation, and thus prolonging the life of the chimney.

Improved draft

A properly sized chimney liner ensures an optimal draft, essential for the efficient function of the system and ensuring proper ventilation.

Enhances safety

By containing high temperatures and preventing heat from coming into direct contact with combustible materials, liners reduce the risk of fire and structural damage as well as preventing harmful gases, like carbon monoxide, from leaking into the living spaces of the home.

Increased heating efficiency

A well-insulated chimney liner minimizes heat loss through the chimney walls, ensuring that more heat is retained within the home and improving the overall energy efficiency.

Easier maintenance and cleaning

 A smooth, continuous liner makes it easier to clean and maintain the chimney, preventing the buildup of creosote and other combustible  products that can lead to chimney fires or obstruct the flow of gases. To improve the lifespan of liners, we recommend occasional chimney inspections, cleaning &maintenance ( a chimney sweep can do this for you).

What is the difference between 316 and 904 flue liner?

The main difference between 316 and 904 flue liners lies in the grade of stainless steel used in it’s manufacture. These grades refer to the specific alloy composition and properties of the stainless steel. Here's a comparison between the two:
