When you want a fireplace in your home, but do not have a brick chimney installed you can run metal chimney pipe as a venting source for your fireplace. This pipe is not complicated to install and easily connects to the top of the fireplace to allow gases and other harmful by-products of the fire to escape from the home while retaining the warmth from the fire. You will also need this type of pipe when installing wood burning stoves.

There are different components and materials which make up the chimney for your gas or wood burning fireplace or stove. Traditional chimneys along the exterior wall of the home are often built out of brick and may or may not have a clay liner. You can get a stainless steel chimney liner when you need a replacement. You can even run chimney pipe inside your existing chimney when you add a fireplace insert or convert the fireplace to a wood stove or gas burning unit.

There are several different types of chimney liners available for you to choose from when relining your chimney. You will find with older homes and older chimneys that you may or may not have a clay liner. Clay liners are the hardest to replace as you have to tear down the existing brick facing on the chimney to get to the liner. When clay liners crack and break, you can use a stainless steel rigid or flexible liner which fits inside the chimney and is easier to install.

You Have Two Different Options of Stainless Steel Chimney Liners

Relining your chimney is easiest when you choose a stainless steel liner, like those available here at Copperfield Chimney Supply. Chimney liners made out of stainless steel offer you two distinct options of being flexible or rigid. Rigid liners have smooth walls but have to be assembled in sections as you install it, which can be an issue for rather large chimneys. Flexible liners come as a single piece and slide into the entire length of the chimney, making them the easiest to install.

Stainless Steel Chimney Liner Helps Improve Draft

Choosing a chimney liner for you new chimney is important because the liner helps improve the draft while venting out smoke from the fireplace or stove. Clay liners are available, but will break down over time and not be as effective in providing a good draft. A Stainless steel chimney liner is better because it does not break down overtime and can withstand temperatures in a wider range.

Benefits of Using a Stainless Steel Chimney Liner

There are several benefits of using a stainless steel chimney liner over a clay chimney liner. Probably the best feature is that 304 stainless steel is resistant to corrosion. The twist-lock assembly allows you to quickly install the liner securely requiring no screws or other attachments. The double-lock seam helps prevent deformation while providing superior strength on the liner, which also includes a limited lifetime warranty.
