A flue liner, sometimes referred to as a chimney liner, is essentially a flexible stainless steel tube that connects to your stove pipe, lining the interior of your chimney. Its primary function is to channel fumes safely upward through the liner, preventing their release directly into the chimney cavity.

Flue liners serve several key purposes, all interlinked to enhance stove performance and safety:

  • Enhanced Efficiency: Insulating your chimney with a flue liner promotes better heat retention, facilitating the upward flow of smoke and reducing condensation.
  • Cleaner Chimneys: Flue liners help prevent the buildup of creosote, a byproduct of combustion that can lead to blockages and pose fire hazards.
  • Improved Safety: By containing fumes within the liner, the risk of carbon monoxide leaks and chimney fires is significantly reduced.

Choosing the Right Flue Liner

Flexible flue liners have mostly replaced the traditional clay liners, but when you choose a flue liner, you should consider the grade:

316 Grade: Suitable for burning seasoned wood, gas and oil, offering a more cost-effective option.

904 Grade: Ideal for burning wood, gas, oil, smokeless fuels, coke, peat and for regular coal burning, this grade has a greater durability and enhanced resistance to corrosive chemicals.

Suitable for chimney repairs or new stove installations and available in both 316 and 904 grade stainless steel, Twinflex flexible flue liners come with 25 years manufacturers guarantee.
