Our company has attempted to bring together
a number of topnotch products which we make available
to our clients. On this page we present to you information
concerning chimney liners, chimney caps, and dampers.
Chimney Liners:
Inside your chimney there is a passage
for flue gases, created by combustion, to exit your
home. This passage is called a liner. Some chimneys,
however, do not have a liner and the flue gases travel
just inside the bricks (or blocks) that make up the
chimney. The picture on the right shows a chimney with
a clay tile liner exiting at the top.
If
there is no liner in your chimney, or should the tile
become cracked or broken, we can install a stainless
steel chimney liner. Our liners are appropriate for
gas,oil, pellets, and wood. The graphic on the left
shows a cutaway of a chimney with a stainless steel
liner installed. Since many factors determine the selection
of a product most fitting for your chimney, please
call our office and we will be glad to help.
Chimney Caps:
He may be cute but if he gets into your
home he will create a mess! Raccoons are just one
of the many reasons for having a chimney professional
install a chimney cap on top of your chimney. Take a
look at the photo of these chimney caps and you will
see right away that they are offered in many shapes
and sizes and, if needed, we can custom prepare a chimney
cap for your unusually shaped chimney.
Oh, chimney caps also keep out birds and other animals
as well as raccoons. Moreover, the less rain that enters
the chimney, the smaller the possibility of unwelcome
odor that you may notice - especially on a chimney that
serves a fireplace.
If you heat your home with oil or gas,
we encourage you to ask us about installing a chimney
cap to prevent leaves or other debris from aiding in
a buildup which could ultimately create a total obstruction
in your chimney.
Wood Stoves:
Dampers:
The damper shown above is known as the
"Butterfly Damper". It installs outside on
the top of the chimney but can be operated from the
comfort of your home. As you can see, not only does
it work like a damper but, when closed, will close the
top of the chimney and prevent rain or leaves from entering.
The Butterfly Damper is great when used as a replacement
for a broken throat damper located inside the chimney.
