Chimney Liner Options Part Five

You have several options in terms of the type of the material of the chimney liner, but the very best option is to go for stainless steel chimney liners. Other than stainless steel chimney liners, you also get aluminum chimney liners and ceramic chimney liners. The aluminum chimney liners and flexible and this allows you to install them yourself using chimney liner kits. However while this will save you money and upheaval in the short term, spending a bit more on stainless steel chimney liners is recommended as these will be the least likely to corrode or tear over time – which can be a big problem for aluminum chimney liners.

Stainless steel chimney liners will really protect your chimney from damage and they will last the longest themselves before they need to be replaced. In fact they should last you for the whole time you need them, and for this reason it is possible to get stainless steel chimney liners that come with a life time warranty.

This lifetime warranty will prevent you from ever needing to replace your chimney liner.

These chimney liners will fit inside of your chimney and it is up to you to make sure that they are fitted all the way along the inside to the top of the chimney and that they are well covered.

Chimney liners have many different purposes and are highly important chimney supplies. The purpose of this is to provide you with lining to contain the combustible products heading through your chimney and helping to encourage them to flow outside thereby making it safer. At the same time they are designed to protect the walls of your chimney from the heat and corrosion that would otherwise occur. They also prevent the smell of smoke and other fumes from lingering in your chimney and help to insulate the chimney itself and prevent too much cold air from getting in and altering the temperature of your property.

For this reason your chimney liner is a good investment and will save you a lot of money in repairing your chimney potentially and in expensive heating costs.

Furthermore any chimney liner kits that are designed for your own home installation will of course save you money in other areas and most notably they will save you the costs associated with having the chimney installed or using chimney sweeps in order to let you know whether you need oval chimney liners or other shaped chimney liners. However in most cases note that round chimney liners will be the best fit and will work in the majority of cases.

Of course it still helps to know how much material you need, and if you are going to buy stainless steel chimney liners that you can’t install yourself then you will still need to get estimates regarding how much you need and how much the service will cost. In this case it’s a good idea to get estimates from a few different chimney sweeps and then to take the average estimate as this will give you the closest estimate that is most likely to fit your chimney.

Chimney Liner Options Part Two

When you see your chimney sweep you can ask them to estimate the required size for your chimney liner and it is then possible to get custom chimney liners built to fit the specific size of your chimney and this will of course be the closest thing you can get to a guarantee that your chimney liner will fit.

These custom shapes may be rectangle, circular, oval, square etc and in general you will be charged for your chimney liner by the square foot. You can expect the product to be about 25-40 foot and this will of course depend on the size of your chimney. Whether you have oval chimney liners, or other shaped chimney liners will depend on the size and shape of your chimney. Alternatively using flexible chimney liner kits it may be possible to alter the size and shape of your chimney lining yourself. This then means that you can use flexible chimney liner kits in order to ensure that what you get is the right size and shape for your chimney.
