If you are installing a Wood Burning Stove in your home it is always advisable to install a Multi-fuel liner. This Product will not only help to provide a better draw for your chimney, it provides a safe passage so harmful fumes will not enter the room.
At Country Stoves we manufacture multifuel liners from 100mm (for condensing oil boilers) to 300mm. We can supply the customer with pre-cut lengths of 6MT (for Bungalows) or 9MT for Two Storey or specific lengths for those with particular requirements. We also supply the Flue Adaptor, Plates and Cowls – all you will need when installing a wood burner.
If you wish to install a liner for an open fire we also supply the fitting required to complete the job. For an open fire always use 7" or 8" liner and for a stove always uses 5" or 6" liners. (Some of the bigger stoves for central heating may use 7")
If you have a build up of soot behind the crevices where your liner is compromised a cleaning will not remove this. The hidden soot can ignite, thus causing chimney fires. Never burn wet timber as it leaves a tar on your liner which will ignite. Once you have had a chimney fire the chances are that the liner has been compromised and repairs will have to take place.
When using a damaged chimney with either a stove or open fire you run the risk of the seepage of fumes which could result in unhealthy or fatal amounts of Carbon Monoxide.
When installing a wood burning appliance it is now part of building regulations to install a carbon monoxide detector. There is no substitute for a chimney not being in a full working order and a carbon monoxide detector is only a warning device.
If you have recently had a chimney fire or if your chimney is more than 30 years old you would be best to reline. Our liners are manufactured to BSES 150 9001 and tested to the EN1856 European Standard. These liners are guaranteed for 10 years upon correct installation but will last for longer if the correct fuels are used and it is swept on an annual basis.
In Northern Ireland and parts of Southern Ireland we can arrange for these liners to be installed and tested. If you do believe you have a problem with your chimney please have a smoke test done.
