Eldfast Chimney Lining

Here at Landy Vent, we are always looking to provide our customers with the most innovative solutions when it comes to chimney liners, which is why we have developed our Eldfast ceramic chimney lining. We believe that this great value chimney liner could save you time and money, thanks to the brilliant design qualities of this product.

Our Eldfast product is a ceramic chimney lining system made up of two elements: a refractory ceramic aggregate powder and a powder-bonding agent. When these elements come together, they create a thick slurry which forms an adhesive when applied under pressure. This specialist mixture, exclusive to Landy Vent, is used for our ceramic linings and is supremely strong and resistant against corrosion and deterioration. For many years, it was thought that materials containing water, cement or lime/clay mortar were suitable for flue linings, but we have discovered that these materials are vulnerable to acid attack and deterioration and so our Eldfast mixture is really much better! What’s more, the Eldfast chimney lining from Landy Vent is suitable for all fuels, easy to install, and resistant to high temperatures.

So what are the benefits of installing a new chimney lining such as Eldfast? The main reason for getting a new chimney liner is that it reduces the risk of carbon monoxide poisoning, which is a must for making sure you are kept safe from this hidden danger. Another benefit is that it increases the lifespan of your chimney flue and can even improve the efficiency of your heating appliance, so that may be able to reduce your energy bills and save money on fuel. You can have your new Eldfast chimney liner installed by our network of approved agents if you are in the UK. Our ceramic flue linings are now also available in Germany, Belgium, Hungary, Czech Republic and Ireland too!

The Eldfast chimney lining system is just one of the products available from the experts in chimneys at Landy Vent. We have been providing solutions for chimneys since 1988 and we are therefore a highly respected company within the industry and we are always looking to help our customers.

Flexible Flue Lining

Landy Vent is one of the leading chimney lining companies in the United Kingdom. We specialise in offering a wide range of flexible flue lining options to meet the needs of different clients. For more than 15 years we have lined hundreds of chimneys in different homes and business premises not only in Studley, Warwickshire, but also in many other parts of the United Kingdom.

As your chimney ages, it requires regular professional care, maintenance and repairs to ensure that all combustion fumes and gases, including carbon monoxide, are extracted safely. This not only enables your chimney to be in excellent working condition, but also guards you and your family against carbon monoxide poisoning. Unlike our competitors, we have teams of highly-skilled and fully-qualified installers and surveyors who are experienced in providing full chimney investigation, care, maintenance, and lining repair services with the utmost professionalism.

Our unique Multiflex “Class 1″ flexible stainless steel multi-fuel flue liners are specifically designed to provide a quick and economical solution for improving the safety and efficiency of old chimneys that use gas, oil, coal, or wood. Multiflex is the strongest and most flexible solution for solving common chimney problems. It leads in the market in terms of proven performance, technical back up, and quality. It protects old chimneys against leakage and deterioration by providing a smooth gas-tight flue that is capable of withstanding high temperatures, minimising the risk of tar deposits, and warming up quickly to create a strong draught, enabling fires and stoves to operate efficiently as required.

The Multiflex liners that we use to offer flexible flue lining services are CE-marked and are also included in the Heating Equipment Testing and Approval Scheme (HETAS) list of approved products for use with oil, gas and solid fuel appliances, meaning that they surpass the Building Regulations Requirements and are far better that many other liners.

Chimney Flue Lining Problems

Based on the kind of fuel you use, condensation could be the main cause of your chimney flue lining problems. It might be that your flue lining has an incorrect cross sectional area. Typically, solid fuels need a larger than average flue area, as they produce more gas at a higher temperature. Chimney flues used for evacuating gasses from solid fuels are exposed to temperature levels that impact on the jointing and flue surface. Ultimately, over the long term, this will cause leakages.

Obviously, the rate of deterioration will depend on the materials used to build the flue. Standard cement lime mortar can be vulnerable to “acid attacks”. Also, another issue is the accumulation of creosotes and tars – if these are not regularly swept away – which will cause chimney/soot fires. Such fires are horrific events that can pass by unnoticed (for those who are fortunate), or lead to significant damage to your building. In any case, normally, you are left with a chimney that leaks.

Liquid fuel burns at a far lower temperature in the flue, however it does deposit a large quantity of acidic and moist residue inside the chimney (or, in other words, condensation). The products resulting from combustion cool down, prior to leaving the flue. Consequently, within the flue, a dew point arises that leads to acidic condensates dripping back down the flue’s interior. This harms the flue appliances, décor and jointing.

Clearly, there are several alternative explanations for leaking flues, aside from those linked to the running of appliances for certain time periods. One explanation is incorrect construction. Examples of this include topsy turvy liners, obstructions that produce flue gas turbulence, and badly jointed flues.

Flue lining can have a positive impact on your energy rates, your chimney’s longevity and the environment. Chimney flue lining allows you to comply with the necessary building regulations, boost your chimney flue’s lifespan and enhance the efficiency of your appliance. Indeed, installers and manufacturers of eco friendly appliances endorse chimney flue lining for efficiency improvement. A chimney flue can even save lives, as it reduces carbon monoxide poisoning risks.
