What to look for when buying flue liners

There are many flue liners for wood burning stoves available and it can often be difficult to know what to look for. In most cases, you will need a flexible liner for a wood burning stove . These are easy to install by yourself or a professional, especially if your chimney has any kinks or bends.

Flue liners for wood burning stoves should be strong and capable of holding up under the force of being pulled down the chimney pipe. They should also be able to handle the high temperatures that they will be regularly exposed to, as well as the dampness that occurs inside chimneys.

Also want to make sure that the flue liner you are installing is the right size for your stove and/or chimney. At Chimfit, we will show you flue liners that are offered in a range of sizes; from 5″ flexible liner products up to 7″ flexible flue liner products are available and can be cut on the meter from one to a forty meter coil if required from our stockists and online shops.

The Chimfit range of chimney cowls and accessories provides everything that you need install and fit your flue system. If you’re looking to keep the birds and leaves out or if you’re trying to solve a downdraught problem, then we have a chimney cowl that suits. Chimney cowls are usually a hood or covering for the top of the chimney, fitted to the top of chimney pots primarily to increase the draught of a chimney and prevent backflow. Usage of the term “chimney cowls” has probably extended beyond its originally intended meaning.

Chimney cowls are traditionally coloured in a terracotta red, make from the same clay as the existing chimney pot it’s going to be installed on to. We also have some metal chimney cowls that are commercially available in a variety of styles and are mechanically retained for the chimney pot.

Our stock here at Chimfit includes:

– Pot hanging cowls to hang your chimney liner from, pot hanging cowls are an easy to fit solution to terminate your flue liner installation or can be used simply to keep the rain and birds away!

– Anti-downdraught hanging cowls to hang your chimney liner from and to help with problems with your up draught. Anti-down draught chimney cowls are wind driven terminals designed to create an up draught in flues; eliminating problems caused by down draughts. They also help birds not fall or fly into the chimney as well as provide additional ventilation to the room of the stove/boiler stove.

– Rain caps just to help protect your flue system from rain. Chimneys are exposed to snow, wind and rain and these conditions can take their toll on the system. To help maintain the chimney or flue, homeowners can invest in a wide variety of flue accessories, including a rain cap, which will keep water from going down the flue and damaging it internally.
