Getting the liner right on Lancaster Park chimneys
Where the code, the product and your appliance meet, on a relining job in Lancaster Park.
Too large a flue for a solid-fuel appliance
For solid fuel appliances, one listed liner maker sets the liner's cross-sectional area at no less than the appliance outlet collar and no more than three times it. A big fireplace flue serving a small stove can sit far outside that range.
Relining brings the passage back into proportion. The estimate shows both measurements, the collar and the flue, so you can see the reasoning rather than take it on trust. A flue that is far too big stays cool, drafts slowly and gathers deposits, which is often what the homeowner noticed first.
The flue and the connector
Section R1003.14 of the residential code does not let the flue's area drop below that of the appliance's connector. It is a simple check, and a liner that fails it is a problem however neatly it is installed.
We measure both, record them on the estimate and flag any mismatch before a liner is ordered. If an existing connector is the wrong size for the appliance as well, that goes on its own line, since the connector and the liner have to work together from the collar to the top.
When the lining can stay
Some inspections find a sound, continuous lining that suits the appliance and only needs cleaning. When that is the case, we say so and do not propose relining.
A recommendation to reline should come with a finding you can understand, not only the age of the chimney or the look of the brick from the street. If we find nothing that justifies a liner, your written report says that plainly, and the only work we quote is the work the flue actually needs.
What the insulation wrap is made of
The insulation wrap one maker specifies is a half-inch, foil-faced ceramic fiber blanket of a set density, secured with a stainless mesh sleeve. Substituting another material can take the installation outside its listing.
We use the insulation the liner's instructions name, and we record it on your paperwork. Poured or other insulation types exist for some systems, and when one is proposed, the estimate names it and the listing it belongs to.

Before your relining in Lancaster Park
No sales pitch, only answers from our liner specialists in Lancaster Park.
Will a new liner change how my chimney is swept?
It changes where the sweep works and where soot comes out. We show you the cleaning access and leave the product's care instructions for the next sweep.
Does a relined flue need a new chimney cap?
The relined flue gets its own liner cap as part of the system. A separate chimney cap is needed only in some layouts, and we explain yours before quoting.
