Frequently Asked Questions about Installing a Liner in a Brick Chimney
Lining is the process of inserting a pipe inside an existing brick or ceramic chimney. This protects the masonry from the destructive effects of condensate and aggressive combustion products, and also improves draft.
Chimney lining is necessary or highly recommended:
- When connecting modern heating equipment (especially gas and condensing boilers): low-temperature combustion products and the resulting aggressive acidic condensate quickly destroy the brickwork of the chimney from the inside, leading to its failure and loss of airtightness after just a few seasons.
- If the existing brick chimney has damage: cracks, destruction, or insufficient airtightness of an old chimney threatens the safety (risk of carbon monoxide leakage and fire) and efficiency of the entire heating system.
- For improving and stabilizing draft: the smooth surface of the liner optimizes the operation of heating equipment, and also brings the chimney into compliance with modern safety standards and increases its service life.
Typically, the installation of a single-wall chimney takes 1 working day. In complex cases — possibly longer. We estimate the scope of work and deadlines in advance.
Yes, the installation of an Akvilon Renofast chimney insert is entirely possible independently or with the help of experienced installers. Our system has a modular design and is assembled using a simple and reliable socket connection, which significantly simplifies the installation process.
Nevertheless, to ensure the safety and efficiency of the system, it is extremely important to observe the following key points:
- Precise verticality: Ensure strict verticality of the entire chimney system.
- Proper sealing: Ensure a tight and correct socket connection, as well as correct assembly of elements taking into account condensate drainage and assembly direction.
- Fire safety: Strictly observe fire safety distances from walls, ceilings, and other structures.
- Flue ventilation: Organize sufficient ventilation around the chimney flue.
