A chimney liner is a metal tube or clay tile installed inside a chimney. These liners protect the home from the high temperatures and corrosive gasses produced by a fireplace, wood stove, or furnace. Insulated chimney liners also help improve the chimney’s efficiency by preventing heat loss and improving the draft.

There are several types of chimney liners:

Clay liners

Clay liners are installed inside the chimney. They are durable and resistant to high temperatures, but they can crack or break over time.

Metal Rigid Liners

Metal rigid liners are made of stainless steel and are used to repair or replace existing chimney liners. They are durable and resistant to corrosion, but they can be more expensive than clay and flexible liners.

Flexible Liners

Flexible liners are flexible stainless-steel metal or aluminum. These liners are used to repair or replace existing clay chimney liners. They are easier to install than rigid liners, but they may be less durable.

Having a professional regularly inspect and maintain your chimney liner ensures it is in good condition and functions properly. If your chimney liner is damaged or in poor condition, it is essential to repair or replace it to protect your home from internal moisture and chimney fires.
