Benefits Of The Chimney Flue Liner

By Clementine Phillips


When it comes to having a fire or wood burning stove installed in to a property there's a very real need to first check out the chimney and be sure that it's suitable for the proposed appliance. At the same time as the fire is installed the home owner must also ensure there's a chimney flue liner installed to ensure that the appliance will operate effectively and safely without causing any damage to the chimney or the property.

The main advantage of using a flexible flue liner is that it will follow the natural contours of your chimney and therefore supply a far more efficient flue for your fire. It can also improve the efficiency of the appliance, which explains why manufacturers and installers of items such as wood burning stoves recommend also having a flue liner fitted.

Another reason why you should get the correct chimney liner installed is you will likely need to adhere to building regulation standards. This is important not just to satisfy these regulations but also to ensure that householders decrease the risk of deadly carbon monoxide poisoning. This is a very important consideration with any heating appliance and thus the importance of flue liners cannot be overlooked.

Whereas the original chimney flue liner restricted the volume of space available in the chimney and thus could have caused smoke to come back down and then leave a trail of soot over your furniture and furnishings, modern ceramic liners maintain the internal space of the chimney flue so that the space is hardly reduced in any respect.

It's easy to purchase or find out more details about a flexible flue liner by simply looking online at the various suppliers of stoves or chimney liners. Here you may have a look at the different varieties and also book a consultation for someone to come out and view your chimney or install the liner.
