Older home with fireplaces were built using masonry chimneys with clay liners. Over time these clay liners will deteriorate and wear out due to becoming hot and then cold as the fireplace is used. Cracked clay liners can lead to other problems within the chimney and are not energy efficient. You can update your old fireplace chimney liner with a new stainless steel chimney liner which prevents corrosion.

Use the Same Brand of Stainless Steel Chimney Liner

Installing a stainless steel chimney liner requires that you use the same brand of materials for the entire chimney. Different types of venting materials should not be mixed as they may not be compatible and may not connect correctly, leaving gaps, which can pose a fire hazard. You can find all the products you need for a complete install using the same brand when you obtain them from Copperfield Chimney Supply .
