There Are Several Different Types of Chimney Liners for Relining Your Chimney

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.
