Frequently Asked Questions

What is the difference between relining and resurfacing?
Relining is the process of installing a stainless steel liner inside your existing flue or chimney to connect to an existing masonry firebox or an appliance, whereas resurfacing is simply coating your existing flue with a material that is stronger than the original terra-cotta surface and fills in gaps and cracks found within the tiles.
What Does Resurfacing Do?

The American Society for Testing and Materials (ASTM) C199 has rated it as “super duty refractory mortar.” It surpasses requirements of both the National Fire Prevention Association (NFPA) and International Residential Code (IRC) which require only a “Medium-Duty” refractory mortar for use in fireplaces and chimneys.

Will the line fit in my chimney/flue?
Maybe, we will need to do an inspection to determine the size and condition of the existing flue to determine the best course of action.
Why are liners so expensive?
There are many different types of liners for different applications. Our liners are corrugated stainless steel, and will be installed as one solid piece (dependent on chimney height). Our liners are also insulated to comply with best practices and benefit you with increased performance, longer lifespan, and better warranty. Insulated liners often fix clearance issues your chimney may have that was discovered during an inspection.
