There are several different types of chimney linersavailable for you to choose from when relining your chimney. You will find with older homes and older chimneys that you may or may not have a clay liner. Clay liners are the hardest to replace as you have to tear down the existing brick facing on the chimney to get to the liner. When clay liners crack and break, you can use a stainless steel rigid or flexible liner which fits inside the chimney and is easier to install.

You Have Two Different Options of Stainless Steel Chimney Liners

Relining your chimney is easiest when you choose a stainless steel liner, like those available here at New Energy Distributing. Chimney liners made out of stainless steel offer you two distinct options of being flexible or rigid. Rigid liners have smooth walls but have to be assembled in sections as you install it, which can be an issue for rather large chimneys. Flexible liners come as a single piece and slide into the entire length of the chimney, making them the easiest to install.

You can even run chimney pipeinside your existing chimney when you add a fireplace insert or convert the fireplace to a wood stove or gas burning unit.

Should you be adding a fireplace to your home and do not already have a chimney, you should look at placing the fireplace in the interior of the home. Modern designs allow for a chimney to be run through the interior of the home using stainless steel chimney pipe, which results in a more efficient burning and heating system. Here at New Energy Distributing we carry all the items you need for venting as well as fireplaces, stoves and other hearth products and accessories.
