The Details Behind a Sound Chimney Liner
Liners fitted to the maker's instructions, with our workmanship warranty on the installation.
Sizing a liner for a stove, insert or other appliance
When an appliance is connected, its instructions and the venting codes set the flue size. The Florida Building Code also keeps a chimney flue at least as large in area as the appliance connector.
Liner instructions add that the appliance outlet should not be larger than the liner at its narrowest point unless a qualified person has sized the liner to suit that appliance. Two appliances that look alike can still call for different flue sizes.
We read the appliance documents before ordering anything, which is why the make and model help when you book.
When a bigger flue works against the appliance
A larger liner is not automatically a better one. Liner makers warn that high-efficiency appliances with cooler flue gases need correctly sized liners, because an oversized passage can lead to condensation and poor venting.
Cooler gases moving slowly through a big flue lose heat before they reach the top, and moisture can condense on the way. The result can be weak draft and deposits.
Our team sizes the liner to the appliance first and to the chimney second, and explains the choice in plain terms.
Signs the existing lining has failed
A lining in trouble often shows itself below. Pieces of clay tile in the smoke chamber, gaps between tiles and heavy deposits packed into cracks are all reasons to look further.
Other signs are less direct, such as a flue that suddenly drafts poorly or an inspection note about open joints between tiles. None of these can be judged from the hearth alone. A flue that has sat unused for years deserves the same look before its first fire.
Our specialists inspect the flue along its length and explain what the findings mean for relining or repair.
Permits and local requirements for relining
Liner instructions remind installers to check local building and fire requirements, and note that permits may be required before work starts. Local rules decide whether a permit applies to your job.
The installation also has to meet the building code in force, which in Florida is the Florida Building Code. That is where the lining, clearance and height rules above come from. Settling the rules first avoids delays once the liner has been ordered.
Our team tells you what applies to relining at your address before the work is scheduled.
