Chimney linings

The effectiveness of the chimney is determined by the linings of the chimney. If the chimney is

enclosed in the building, then it radiates heat well and causes the warmth to distribute itself well

in the house.

Differences in pressure due to the presence of the flue cause the flame to fan. Insulation of the

flue is essential for crucial functioning of the flue.

Presence of a large aperture reduces the pressure of the upward gases. This can also cause

broken linings and blockages plus build up of materials.

It is advisable to match the lining of the flue with the stove outlet. The inner wall should be

smooth while outer side corrugated and thus avoids crushing. A rain cap is also good to install to

prevent the stove from having downwards flow of air.

The chimney requires a pack to cater for ventilation. The material for this includes the high heat

resistant UV polystyrene. A stainless steel plate is necessary at the end of the installation is

necessary for avoiding draughts.
