Always Use Chimney Liners with Your Wood Burning Fireplaces

Chimney liners should be used in your wood burning fireplace chimney. Older chimneys were often built without a liner. The problem with these types of chimneys is that without a liner, your fireplace may end up drawing more air in from the inside, while allowing the heated air to go up and out the chimney. You can also have problems with creosote build up and require more frequent chimney cleanings.

Always Use the Same Manufacturer of Chimney Liners

There are two basic types of chimney liners available on our website, here at Copperfield Chimney Supply, for lining your chimney. You can use all of one type of line or a combination of both rigid and flexible liners, such as using rigid liners at the top and bottom and flexible in the middle. However, it is important to select products from the same manufacturer and not inter-mix products from different manufacturers as there could be compatibility issues.
