A chimney liner which is insulated provides benefits that go beyond meeting the UL Listing Standards. Chimney liners that are insulated help prevent the extremely high temperatures found in the flue system from spreading through the masonry chimney itself to combustibles. Also, the insulation keeps the flue system itself warm so the gases are able to draft up and out of the chimney at peak efficiency. An insulated chimney has less creosote than a non-insulated chimney. Because the chimney flue stays warmer, creosote in its vapor form has less of an opportunity to rest and cool on the liner’s surface. By preventing condensation of creosote, you prevent creosote build up.
Foil face insulation blankets made of ceramic fibers, are the best. These blankets are wrapped directly around the pipe, taped at the seam with foil tape, and then covered with a wire mesh which prevents the insulation from being damaged as it is lowered down the chimney. The ceramic fibers are the main insulator, but the foil facing also is an insulator.
It is convenient to buy all of your supplies in a kit. A kit should include the actual blanket, tape, the wire mesh, clamps for attaching the mesh, and spray adhesive. You can purchase your insulation kits to fit the length and diameter of the flue system that you are going to insulate. This makes the process very smooth and saves you additional work as well as waste. By purchasing only the amount that you need, you are able to save money in addition to time.

POUR DOWN VERMICULITE BASED
This insulation option is only suggested if there is not enough room in your flue to install the liner kit AND the insulation wrap kit. If you are in that situation, than this IS the best option for you.
