Flexible flue liners are the most practical way to modernise an existing chimney, especially when the original flue is damaged, oversized, or not suitable for today’s high-efficiency stoves. Designed to adapt to bends and irregularities inside the chimney, flexible liners provide a smooth, insulated path for smoke to exit safely and efficiently.
