Chimney Lining
Master Chimney Sweepers is proud to offer VENTINOX® chimney liners. VENTINOX® is the only time tested flexible stainless steel chimney liner, providing safe reliable venting for gas, oil, and wood.
Many chimney problems go undetected or undiagnosed. That's why it's important, not only to have your chimney inspected annually, but to ensure that you have the best protection in your chimney. VENTINOX® protects your chimney walls from condensation and moisture problems, helps prevent downdraft and blockage issues you can find in deteriorated chimneys, and of course, helps protect you from other dangers damaged chimneys allow, such as carbon monoxides leaks.
A new chimney liner is a great first step in ensuring the longevity and soundness of your chimney, and the safety of you and your family.

It is also ideal for building efficient chimneys in new construction.
Designing a lining system is a difficult task that requires hard choices, which relate directly to product reliability, longevity and ultimately, to the sense of security a good system will provide to the homeowner. We would like you to take a look at our criteria for making these choices.
Mechanical Considerations
Expansion: Since steel expands when exposed to heat, care needs to be taken to give it a shape that does not create stress within the system after it has been installed in a chimney. Ventinox absorbs any expansion in its corrugations and does not twist or grow in length. Therefore, Tee sections do not become deformed and Ventinox can be mortared solid at the chimney top, which creates a long lasting, watertight seal.
Liner Tightness: This is important for two reasons: First, to keep water vapors and other by-products of combustion within the liner at all times and second, to keep air (oxygen) out during a chimney fire. Using our unique and patented manufacturing process, Ventinox liners are continuously welded to form an airtight conduit from the appliance to the chimney top.
Liner Strength: Liners are used in a construction environment. They must be strong enough to take some abuse. Welding the steel and forming it into specially designed corrugations creates great strength and enables Ventinox to resist crushing and tearing.
Liner Weight: Heavier is not better. Excess weight is only a nuisance during installations, or when the extra weight could have negative effects on the chimney structure. The lighter weight of Ventinox is possible due to our special manufacturing process. The other design criteria can be met without adding extra weight.
