Types of Chimney Liners
- Clay Tiles – These are the most common type, as they are inexpensive, easily bought, and their performance is quite good for fireplaces that are out in the open. Of course, it just has to be properly installed since, being a ceramic product, it may break apart or shatter. This means that liquid combustion byproducts cannot be properly contained and repairs would be needed before using the chimney again.
- Metal Chimney Liners – Mostly known for their chimney upgrading capabilities, these types of liners are extremely safe and suitable for wood burning, oil applications, and gas usage. An alternative to stainless steel liners is its aluminum counterpart, which are less expensive and provides almost the same kind of durability.
- Cast-in-place chimney liners – Cement-like products that form a smooth and insulated passageway for flue gasses to travel through. For aging chimneys, having this installed improves the structural integrity and are great for lifelong use.
