Custom-Made Stainless Steel Relining is a method we use when a fireplace or a wood stove is being used, or if the homeowner does not know if they will keep a stove or not. The ratio of the flue to the fireplace should be close to 10:1, therefore, if a 13 x 13" O.D. (10.5 x 10.5" I.D) flue tile has 110 sq. inches of air flow capacity, the fireplace should measure around 1100 sq. inches. Since a 28 x 38" fireplace opening is 1064 Sq. inches, this means that a 13 x 13" liner will work. Any smaller size liner, such as a 10" round, which has only 79 sq. inches (pi r² = 3.14 x 5 x 5 = 78) capacity WILL NOT DRAFT properly! We insulate the liner with ceramic wool insulation, and the I.D. (inside dimensions) are the exact same as the original tile liner so the draft is the same. This is very important because installing a smaller size liner (downsizing) will most likely not draft properly and will cause smoke backup. Please make sure you are getting the right size liner and save yourself a big headache later! Key Benefits
