Getting the liner right on Winter Park chimneys
From our family-owned relining team serving Winter Park, the reasoning behind the work.
Sizing a liner for an open fireplace
An open fireplace is sized by its opening. Option 1 of section R1003.15.1 calls for a round flue of at least one-twelfth of the fireplace opening area, a square flue of at least one-tenth, and a rectangular flue with a ratio of 2 to 1 or more of at least one-eighth.
We measure the opening, apply the rule that fits the proposed liner shape and write the numbers down for you. A liner that is too small for a large opening can leave smoke at the front of the fireplace, so the opening size decides the liner as much as the chimney does.
Crown cracks and the relining job
Liner instructions call for needed crown repairs to be completed where cracks or deterioration are visible, because the top plate seals to that surface. A cracked crown under a new plate lets water into the chimney around the liner.
A crown repair is its own item on the estimate, with its own scope and its own explanation. We tell you whether it has to happen before relining or can be scheduled on the same visit, and what happens to the relining plan if you decide to postpone the crown work.
Permits and the local building department
Liner instructions note that building permits may be required before installation, and tell installers to contact local building and fire officials about inspection requirements. Local building inspectors have the final say over what they accept, whatever a national code or a product sheet says.
We check what applies to your relining job and tell you before scheduling, so a required inspection is planned rather than discovered. If a permit is needed, the estimate shows how it fits into the timeline.
Planning around every connected appliance
Liner makers note that the arrangement depends on the size and configuration of the chimney and on the type, number and location of the appliances vented into it.
We list every appliance connected to the chimney and every flue it contains before designing the relining. Nothing gets sized in isolation. A basement or garage appliance that shares the chimney is easy to forget, so we ask about it and look for its connection.

Liner questions we hear in Winter Park
What Winter Park homeowners ask us before a flue is relined.
Is insulation always required with a stainless liner in Winter Park?
No. It is required in some situations, such as when clearances to combustibles cannot be confirmed, and recommended in others, such as a chimney on an outside wall. We tell you which applies to your Winter Park chimney and price it clearly.
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.
