Restore Your Chimney Liner With HeatShield® Resurfacing

For years, clay tile has been a popular material for chimney liners, and for a good reason. Clay tiles can stand up to intense temperatures and are a reliable choice for venting various types of heating appliances. However, over time, clay tile liners can develop cracks that eventually lead to  crumbling and deterioration. When this happens, lighting a fire can become increasingly dangerous.

Cracks and gaps in clay tiles can allow heat from the fire to access nearby combustible material, and can also allow vapor, smoke, and carbon monoxide to leak into the home. This can pose a serious threat to your health and compromise the safety of you and your family.

A deteriorating clay tile liner isn’t just a threat to your safety and health; the cracks, gaps, and uneven surface of a crumbling clay tile liner also cause airflow resistance and affect draft and efficiency of your chimney system.

We’re Experienced HeatShield® Installers

If your clay tile liner is suffering, Chimney Concepts can help! Our technicians have undergone special training to become certified HeatShield® professionals, which means we can repair and restore your chimney liner using innovative HeatShield® technology.

HeatShield® lining is a specially formulated “Cerfractory ” sealant material that restores the integrity of your chimney’s flue so that it works effectively and efficiently. Depending on the needs and condition of your liner, we may opt to use one of three different application methods:

• Joint Repair: The first method is designed to repair deteriorating mortar joints. During the application process, we’ll use a specially designed applicator to apply the HeatShield® product directly to the weak joints and create a smooth, restored joint surface.
• Resurfacing: The second method is used when the majority of the chimney liner needs repair, but the chimney is still structurally strong. We’ll pour the cerfractory product into the chimney flue and use a specially designed applicator to go over the entire flue surface. The applicator works to evenly distribute the product throughout and create a smooth, restored surface from top to bottom.
• CeCure Sleeve Relining: The third method is used when the entire chimney structure needs reinforcement. Just as we do during the resurfacing method, we’ll start by applying an even layer of the HeatShield® product. When ready, we’ll then slide a customized sleeve down into the chimney and apply yet another layer of the HeatShield® product.

Whatever method your chimney requires, you can expect our dedicated team at Chimney Concepts to deliver meticulous craftsmanship, attention to detail, and a commitment to ensuring your chimney system is restored to its optimal condition.
