Flexing Your Flue: Unveiling the Wonders of Flexible Flue Liners
If you've ever dreamed of cozying up to a crackling wood burner or multi-fuel stove in your home, you're not alone. The allure of a warm, flickering fire is hard to resist, especially when the weather outside turns frosty. But before you dive headfirst into your fiery fantasy, there's a key player you need to meet: the chimney flue liner. These unsung heroes of the heating world are about to become your new best friend, ensuring your fireplace dreams don't go up in smoke.
The Lowdown on Our Supple Flue Champions
In the realm of Class 1, multi-fuel flexible chimney liner, we're the pros. Our liners, carrying that HETAS seal of approval, are nothing short of game-changers. Crafted from the sturdy embrace of double-skin stainless steel, these bad boys are tailored for appliances like wood burners and multi-fuel stoves. Picture it: cured dry wood, solid fuel (coal and coke), gas, and even heavy oil, all harmoniously doing their dance within.
What's the secret sauce here? These stainless steel liners can be your chimney's new BFF. When slotted into your masonry chimney, they form an uninterrupted highway for those flue gases, nixing any grand escape plans through disintegrating brickwork. The result? A smoke-free, efficient journey for your flames, from appliance to outlet. And let's talk about the optimal flue diameter – these liners are the maestros, ensuring your appliance gets exactly what it needs. They are meant to be installed inside your stone chimney. A twin wall flue should be used for standalone flues, whether located inside or outside the house.
Choosing Your Flue Liner
Before we continue our flue liner love fest, there's a crucial lesson: picking the right liner is like choosing your perfect sidekick. Are you all about that multi-fuel or solid fuel life? Then guess what, both our 316 grade and 904 grade stainless steel liners have your back. Both are resistant to high temperatures. But if you're leaning towards smokeless fuels, coal, or that overnight slumber for your appliance, say hello to the 904-grade liner. It's got your back with those special circumstances.
