Clay Flue Liner Pit Falls & A Solution

Hearth and Chimney Tips Presented By Rockford Chimney Supply

A clay flue liner is found along the pathway of the exhausting fumes in a chimney. It is essentially a functional layering, found along the chimney’s flue (outlet). Flue liners are not needed in all chimneys. However, clay tile flue liners do deteriorate over time.

The best solution when the tile is showing signs of deterioration is to replace it with a stainless steel chimney liner. Stainless steel chimney flue liners can be easily installed without any professional help.

Understanding Clay Flue Liner Advantages

Clay tiles aren’t the most durable material and need to be inspected frequently. If any signs of deterioration show in the terra cotta tile it is recommended you install a rigid or flexible chimney liner kit, easy to install.


Visit Rockford Chimney Supply at http://rockfordchimneysupply.com/ they have a wealth of information on chimney lining kits and are there to answer any questions you may have before making a decision. For improving the chimney’s safety and the safety of your family please note this article, possibly bookmark it for future reference. The internal walls of older chimneys become porous over a period of time. Thus, they present an easily-attachable surface for smoke and chimney soot.


If such materials stick to the flue, they will cause a chimney fire if neglected. Metal flue liners ensure that debris and gases produced from burning fuel into your chimney do not stick to the internal wall of the chimney liner.

Rock-flex flue liners have another fire-fighting feature. They have been UL tested and approved to withstand temperatures up to 2100 degrees. This means that even if a chimney fire occurs, the liner will withstand the heat and break easily. Due to this, the fire is readily extinguished.
