Our approach to chimney liners in Princeton/Silver Star
Notes from our Princeton/Silver Star liner installers, tied to the code and the product instructions.
When clearances cannot be confirmed
Clearances are not always visible. One stainless liner's instructions state that if the proper clearances cannot be determined, the liner must be installed with an approved insulation wrap.
We would rather say that plainly than assume the framing sits where it should. If insulation is required for your chimney, the estimate says so and gives the reason in a sentence you can check. If more access would settle the question, such as an attic hatch we could not reach, we tell you that too, so you can decide which way to go.
Where the connection enters the chimney
To make inspection and cleaning easier, one liner maker says wall penetrations should not be placed directly behind the heating appliance. The residential code brings connectors into a chimney through the side wall, in a thimble of fireclay, rigid refractory or metal that holds the connector in place so it cannot slip out or reach past the inner face of the liner.
We plan the entry point with both in mind and show you where the connection will sit before anything is cut or drilled.
Keeping tile pieces out of the flue
When tile is trimmed at the top, pieces must not drop into the flue, and any that do are removed. Loose fragments on the smoke shelf or at the base of a flue can block the passage and the new liner's path.
We check the base of the flue after the top work, so nothing is left behind, and we clear the smoke shelf before the liner connection is made. A clean base is also where the next sweep starts, so leaving it clear is part of finishing the job properly.
Before relighting a fireplace that sat unused
A chimney that has not been used for years may hold debris, nests, cracked tile or old deposits. The first step is an inspection and cleaning, and relining is decided only after that.
We tell you what the flue needs to be used safely and what can wait, and we put both lists in writing. If the house changed hands in the meantime, we also ask what appliance was last connected, because the lining that suited it may not suit the way you plan to use the fireplace.
