Generous overlap on wound stainless foil inner skin, this ensures the liner stays sealed and safe as it travels round bends. Cheaper flues have less overlap to save on stainless steel!
Double crimped outer skin, this ensures that the flexible flue liner stays together as it is drawn down the chimney. If a flue is going to get damaged or come apart it will be as its being pulled down the chimney.

Flexible Flue Liner FAQ
There are three principle reasons you may need a chimney liner:
Because your chimney has no clay tile chimney liner (older chimneys may not)
The clay tile chimney liner is damaged
A chimney liner is required for optimal performance and safety because you are installing a new heating unit (stove or furnace) that will be vented into your masonry chimney.
Chimney liners and flue liners are stainless steel liners which, when installed into a masonry chimney, produce a continuous and unbroken flue from appliance or fire to outlet. This prevents flue gasses escaping though disintegrating brickwork and provides the optimum flue diameter for the appliance.
Between 15- 25 years, depending on whether your flexible flue liner is 316 or 904 grade. 904 grade liners will last for longer.
Installation – Flexible liners are easier to install than the rigid variety. The single length of flexible liners makes it easier to fit into the chimney.
Versatility -The adjustable length of flexible liners is great for taller chimneys or chimneys that may have contours or even just slight bends.
Less Creosote – Flexible flue liners accumulate less creosote than the rigid flue liners, especially when used on wood fireplaces and stoves. The flexing process loosens the creosote and causes it to fall off.
Easier Maintenance – One of the factors that create regular chimney cleaning and maintenance work is the accumulation of creosote. Flexible liners prevent much buildup of creosote.
Higher Safety – Installing a flexible liner is a great way of minimizing the risk of a chimney fire.
Improves Chimney Draft – Less buildup of creosote from a flexible liner improves the chimney draft. This enhances chimney efficiency.
Adds to Home Value – The various benefits of flexible flue liners improve chimney efficiency. An efficient chimney is a significant consideration in home valuation.
