What is HeatShield Liner and How To Use It in Norfolk and Plymouth Counties?
HeatShield Liner is not a traditional liner but rather a specially formulated “cerfractory” hybrid ceramic sealant system made for your chimney’s clay tile flue liner. Due to the prevalence of cracked or spalled flue tiles, this high-resistance technology was developed to address gaps, cracks, and deterioration directly. Instead of completely replacing the liner, HeatShield Liner repairs the existing structure from within, sealing pathways where hazardous gases like carbon monoxide could otherwise escape into your home.
Damaged flue liners are common in areas like Norfolk County and Plymouth County, MA, where many homes have masonry chimneys that endure freeze-thaw cycles and years of usage. The HeatShield Liner system offers a restorative solution applied by Certified HeatShield Installers. It’s particularly useful when flue tiles have cracks or deteriorated mortar joints but are otherwise structurally intact, presenting an alternative to otherwise invasive relining methods. It basically rehabilitates your chimney flue from the inside.
Advantages of Choosing HeatShield Flue Restoration
Common Flue Issues Solved by HeatShield
First, the HeatShield Liner system is specifically designed to address common defects found within clay tile chimney flues. Cracked flue tiles are a primary concern; even minor cracks can allow heat to reach combustible materials nearby or permit flue gases to enter the home. HeatShield actively fills and seals these cracks. Secondly, deteriorated mortar joints between flue tiles are another frequent issue, particularly in older Norfolk and Plymouth County chimneys exposed to moisture over time. HeatShield can repair these joints, restoring the flue’s continuous surface.
Furthermore, spalling, where the surface of the flue tile flakes or chips off, creates rough areas that collect creosote and hinder draft. The HeatShield Liner resurfacing system creates a smooth, reinforced lining over spalled areas. Resolving these issues holds importance because a damaged flue cannot perform its main function: safely flue venting the byproducts of combustion out of your home. A video inspection by our Certified HeatShield Installers can determine if your flue damage is suitable for HeatShield restoration.
Intricate HeatShield Liner Applications
The HeatShield Liner system offers different application methods depending on the type and severity of flue damage. For chimneys with primarily deteriorated mortar joints or minor cracking, the HeatShield Joint Repair system is often used. This system involves applying the refractory sealant directly into the damaged joints using specialized tools, creating a tightened seal. Our Certified HeatShield Installers carefully apply the material to fill voids and revive continuity between the flue tiles.
Alternatively, if the flue tiles exhibit more widespread cracking, spalling, or surface deterioration, the HeatShield Resurfacing system is employed. This method involves applying a thicker coating of the HeatShield Liner sealant over the entire interior surface of the flue. A custom-designed foam applicator plug is pulled up through the chimney, smoothing the sealant and creating a durable lining system. As a result of the resurfacing, homes gain protection and rehabilitation for more significantly distressed flues in Norfolk County and Plymouth County.
