Multi Fuel Chimney Liner Knowledgebase Articles

There are some competitors selling "cheap" chimney liner online. It's not for us to make the choice for you, but please be aware of some of the issues below:-

Retail customers tend to assume that chimney liner is chimney liner, and to be fair, they do look the same. One of the issues we have is in getting across that they are not. There are two types of machine for manufacturing multi fuel chimney liner. One uses a single strip of stainless steel which is folded to form both the inner and outer skins on the liner. The other, and in our experience, vastly superior method uses two separate strips of stainless steel; one for the inner skin and one for the outer skin.

The benefits of two separate strips is that the stainless steel itself does not need to be as thick, which inturn enables more revolutions per metre, which gives a stronger, more flexible chimney liner, which is less prone to splitting when being pulled down the chimney.

A 1 metre length of liner manufactured with two strips is heavier than the equivalent manufactured with a single strip. You get more weight of stainless steel per metre.

We have been selling chimney liners online since 2000, and have sold both types in our time. We now only sell double strip chimney liner.

Barely a day passes where we don't get a customer call us with a quote like this:-

"I have been quoted £xxxx for my chimney liner. How can you sell it for the price that you do? You can't be selling the same stuff."

Let's lift the lid on that one! The list price of chimney liner (and indeed many items in the chimney industry) is extremely high, with merchants receiving very high discounts off the list price. Here's a great example:-

The current list prices for our 175mm multi fuel chimney liner:-
316/316 grade:- £164.47 + vat per metre
904/904 grade:- £265.89 + vat per metre

Wow I hear you say!

We sell well over £1 million of multi fuel chimney liner per year, which means we get a bigger discount than other merchants already large discount.

If you have been quoted £40, £50, £60 or even £150 per metre (we won't name you but you know who you are), you are being ripped off, no question.
