Chimney Relining Service
The liner is located on the inside surface of the chimney. A liner must be able to withstand the high temperatures of wood burning (650 degrees Celsius) and effectively transport the flue gasses to the exterior of the home. Because of the importance of the liner to overall chimney function and longevity, it requires several important characteristics.
Clay tile liners are susceptible to thermal shock. Thermal shock occurs when the temperature of the liner rises abruptly to high levels. Such shocks can occur when a relatively cool liner is heated by a quickly kindled fire. A chimney fire also produces severe thermal shock. The liner must be able to handle many such shocks without cracking, distorting, or displacement.
