Homeowners who need new flue liners for woodburners may wish to look into investing in a flexible chimney liner.Glen K, writing on the American River Rafting blog suggested that it is the easiest and most cost-effective solution, with the alternative being to rip the whole structure down and rebuild it.
Failing to take any action could result in dangerous gases leaking into the home and putting people's lives at risk, he added.
"Flexible liners allow for both top and bottom support because any expansion due to heating is absorbed by the liner's flexible ribbing," the writer went on to say.
He added that some flexible liners can be bent by hand, while others will require the use of specialist tools in order to get the job done.
Another point those looking for flue liners for woodburners must bear in mind is that inserts should be purchased as well in order for the system to work effectively, freelance writer Wayne Hemrick said in a post on Firewood recently.
