The flue gases are naturally acidic and corrode the mortar joints from within the chimney. As they erode, heat transfers quicker to the nearby combustibles and toxic gases such as carbon monoxide will possibly leak into the home\u2019s living areas.<\/p><p>3.\u00a0<strong>To provide<\/strong><strong>\u00a0an appropriately-sized flue for prime appliance efficiency.<\/strong>\u00a0Modern wood stoves and gas or oil furnaces require a correctly sized flue to perform properly. The chimney is responsible for not only allowing the products of combustion a passage out of the house, but the draft generated by the chimney also supplies the combustion air to the appliance. An incorrectly sized liner can lead to excessive creosote buildup in wood-burning stoves, and the production of carbon monoxide with conventional fuels.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-a012829 elementor-widget elementor-widget-heading\" data-id=\"a012829\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"heading.default\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<h3 class=\"elementor-heading-title elementor-size-default\">Benefits of Stainless Steel Chimney Liners<\/h3>\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-5e51510 elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"5e51510\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<p>1.\u00a0<strong>A stainless steel chimney liner makes your home safer for a pretty small investment.<\/strong>\u00a0If your chimney is unlined or your clay tile liner is decades old, you likely have cracked tiles or missing mortar that are possibly allowing noxious gases and smoke to enter your attic or living areas. For only a few hundred dollars, you can have a\u00a0stainless steel liner installed\u2014 eliminating future leaks.<\/p><p>2.\u00a0<strong>A stainless steel chimney liner protects your chimney from damaging combustion products.<\/strong>\u00a0The liner gets sealed from top to bottom in order for the smoke, water, creosote, and carbon dioxide from burning fuel to be carried outside without contacting the chimney structure. Stainless steel is actually corrosion-resistant, so a liner made of stainless will last many years without leaking.<\/p><p>3.\u00a0<strong>You can insulate a stainless steel chimney liner.<\/strong>\u00a0The liner can be wrapped with insulation before being inserted into the flue, or the dead air space between the liner and flue can be filled with insulation after the liner has been inserted. Cement and clay tile\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/chimneysweep.com\/oldwebsite\/chimney-liner\/\">chimney liners<\/a>\u00a0are typically not insulated. An insulated liner allows for less creosote condensation to enter inside the flue by keeping the combustion gases hotter all throughout and out of the chimney.<\/p><p>4.<strong>\u00a0A stainless steel chimney liner is easier to clean than other liners.<\/strong>\u00a0This makes it less expensive to maintain than an unlined or clay tile-lined flue. The round steel liner is easier to clean than the square or tightly rounded corners of an unlined or tile-lined flue.<\/p><p>5.<strong>\u00a0A stainless steel liner may be more energy-efficient for your home.<\/strong>\u00a0An insulated liner lessens the number of cold downdrafts when a fire isn\u2019t being burned. Additionally, it improves the chimney draft since hotter gases draw better than colder gases. The complete combustion of a good draft increases energy efficiency.<\/p><p>6.<strong>\u00a0A stainless steel liner is lesser of a hassle to install than the other types of liners.<\/strong>\u00a0Replacing or adding a new clay tile liner inside a masonry chimney takes more work and usually more money than simply inserting a stainless steel liner inside the flue.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Benefits of Stainless Steel Chimney Liners What Is a Chimney Liner?
