While the traditional brick chimney has been in use since before most people can remember, it can be costly and difficult to maintain. Bricks break down and erode, which could cause dangerous leaking of smoke and fumes, often times invisible to the naked eye. This problem is easily avoided, however, by using stainless steel chimney pipe in place of the older brick method on new, or replacement, chimney projects. Metal chimney pipe is much more cost effective and simpler to install than a good old fashion brick and mortar.

A stainless steel chimney liner provides an enclosed space for smoke and other fumes from a fire to be exhausted to the outside of your home. Many older homes with brick chimneys often did not include a liner. Without a liner, soot, creosote and other deposits can quickly build up, which requires more frequent cleanings. By adding an insulated liner, you will cut down the speed at which deposits build up, while also creating a better draft.

Deciding Between a Rigid and a Flexible Stainless Steel Chimney Liner

When you are installing a stainless steel chimney liner, like those available on our website, here at Copperfield Chimney Supply, you need to decide between rigid and flexible styles. Rigid styles are ideal when you only have one story to run the chimney and have no corners to go around. Flexible liners are better suited when lining the chimney for two or more stories or when you have corners to navigate the liner around.

The proper ventilation of your wood burning fireplace or stove is important to prevent smoke from coming into the room. You will need to make sure that the chimney pipe is installed correctly so that there are no gaps left between the sections. Gaps can be a fire hazard because exposed areas can catch on fire after continued exposure to high temperatures and any small embers which escape from the fireplace. Whenever you install piping you should always use the same brand for the entire project and have the finished chimney properly inspected.
