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.
Fireside Chimney Supply has been a leader in chimney supply since 1992.  The realization that not all chimneys are the same is important especially when it comes to historical homes.   Fireside Chimney Supply is a great supplier of refractory panels, wood burning fireplace inserts and fireplace liners.  Fireplace refractory panels are often damaged over the many decades or centuries of use.  They are easily replaced but finding panels that are a perfect fit can be a daunting task.  Fortunately for many customers, Fireside Chimney Supply can have quality products customized to fit your exact need.   Customized products may include Shaped chimney liners, chase covers, or flue liners.  Fireside Chimney Supply is also a great place to shop for general chimney supply's.  Ask one of the sales associates about their rigid or flexible chimney liner kits.

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.
Be sure to take advantage of their lifetime transferable warranty and free shipping.   Fireside Chimney Supply is open 7 days per week and will walk you through the installation.

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.

The Shaped Chimney Liners


There are a number of shaped chimney liners which can include oval, square, rectangle, round and custom liners. Every sweep estimate for each chimney may be different and the common of the above list are the round and oval shaped chimney liners which turn out to be economical as well.
The stainless oval chimney liners are both water and air tight. Sometimes, the flue liner may have up to seven ply seams which are rated best for their strength. The stainless material used to make them is also at its best. Coming in different sizes, the oval liners are priced per foot. If you chose an oval shaped chimney liner, you will need the top plates as well. The top plates work well if one has clay tile at the top of the chimney. The plates have oval design to fit the oval shaped chimney. It is quick to install as most of the plates come with a quick to connect system. One just needs to tighten down the screws to secure this liner to the top of a chimney.
If it comes with the rain cap, it would be even better. This may have the wind guard, screen and clamp connecting system. The rain cap will perfectly fit on the outside of the top plate and what one needs is to tighten down the clamp on the rain cap.

Smooth Wall Stainless Steel Chimney Liner: A Best Buy!


A smooth wall stainless steel chimney liner is the latest technology in this wide chimney industry. It combines the advantages of both the improved performance of a rigid chimney liner and flexible chimney liner. This stainless steel liner has a double wall construction which takes advantage of the highest technology involved in making 316 version of stainless steel. The liner is more flexible than any other and offers the best performance you can think of.
A smooth wall stainless steel chimney liner is the most efficient venting because of the decreased turbulence. The liner can be shaped into square, oval and rectangle to take advantage of each cubic inch and more so, offer maximum draft. The stainless steel chimney kit includes cap, collar, tee, top plate, stainless screws and clamp. If your chimney is that straight from top to bottom then this kit is perhaps the perfect one. While taking advantage of the high quality smooth wall interiors, the liner itself will last forever and is easier to clean. Insulation will be required for the solid fuels although this may be optional for gas and oil. The smooth wall will have a smooth flexible interior wall while the exterior is corrugated. There are therefore no sizing restrictions in case of oil and gas applications.
