Chimney Relining with HeatShield
A smart and economical option to restore your chimney’s flue.
Is it worth lining your chimney?
Absolutely. HeatShield is a specially formulated sealant that restores the integrity of your chimney’s flue, allowing it to safely vent hazardous flue gases from your home. It eliminates the dangers caused by gaps, cracks, and spalling in your flue liner—extending the life of your chimney for years to come.
How does the HeatShield chimney relining process work?
To restore your chimney’s flue, a custom-made foam applicator plug is placed at the bottom of the flue and attached to a winch at the top of the chimney. A “tie coat” material is then applied to the flue walls as the plug is pulled upward by the winch. The tie coat cleans any remaining dust and acts as a primer for the HeatShield sealant. After the tie coat dries, the HeatShield material is applied onto the flue, creating a smooth, sealed interior surface.
