Working With Historical Homes Does Not Have to be a Nightmare:

Buying a historical home can be a dream come true and then become a nightmare when repairs must be done.  There are often restrictions on how historical homes can be repaired and the type of products that can be used.  Homes that are lived in are somewhat easier but finding a partner within the industry is a great resource.

Industrial Applications:

Industrial applications can use the 316Ti stainless steel  and stainless steel chimney liners to replace aged systems that are no long up to code.   The 316Ti stainless steel is ideal for commercial applications because it is manufactured to withstand higher temperatures and to resist corrosive chemicals.   These manufacturing traits make the 316Ti stainless steel an ideal material for industrial projects.  304L stainless steel is also a great choice of material for both residential and commercial use.  This low-carbon steel is more flexible which means that it can be manipulated on the job site.   In some cases it is better to start with shaped chimney liners rather than trying to make pieces fit on site.  For difficult or custom jobs the professional team at Fireside Chimney Supply can help find just the right material for your job.  They stock Chase covers, Oval Chimney Liners, Rigid chimney liners, flexible chimney liners and fireplace inserts  or they can have pieces customized to fit your specs.  Heavier projects may need the Smoothwall Stainless Steel Chimney Liner.

Refurbish or Rebuild- What to Do With Older Fireplaces:

Fireplaces can be inefficient means of heating a home.  Installing wood burning fireplace inserts can make the difference between a cold and drafty home and a warm a cozy nest.   Fireplace inserts are just the beginning of the list of items that can make a heating system more efficient.  A smoothwall stainless steel chimney liner or one of the flexible chimney liner kits can also help a fireplace work more efficiently.   For home owners who wish to keep the look of an open fireplace can refurbish their existing fireplace by installing fireplace refractory panels.  Refractory panels reflect/bounce heat back from the liner so that the fireplace emits more warmth into the living space.  Using flexible chimney liners in conjunction with new refractory panels can give an old fireplace a complete overhaul.

Fighting the elements is no easy task but with the right tools a chimney or fireplace be immune to weather.  Chase covers or a stainless steel chimney chase cover can prevent rain, sleet and snow from getting into the chimney.  Installing a top-sealing damper can also prevent wind from entering the chimney.  A regular  chimney cleaning is the best way to help prevent odors from smelling up your house.  Installing a Stainless Steel Chimney Liner and insulation will also help keep pipes cleaner.
