Wood-Burning Fireplace Restoration
If your home is older than 1959 it is very likely that your system is not capable of containing the heat and product of combustion through your general structure. This is because your chimney structure lacks a vital interior component, called the chimney liner. The vast majority of masonry wood-burning fireplaces in Portland or unlined chimneys, do not meet proper clearance to combustibles anymore.
We specialize in retrofitting these systems up to the new fire code requirements.
What does this entail?
The original firebox fire brick needs to be removed and replaced with refractory, firebrick and fireclay.
This ensures where combustion takes place, it will not allow heat to escape the firebox area, and potentially dry a combustible material around it.
The internal passageway will be lined with a new 24 gauge stainless steel insulated liner. This protects your chimney structure from the toxic gases from combustion. We have learned over the years that stainless steel is corrosion resistant, and very heat resistant. We do not want to expose large amounts of heat and corrosive byproducts to the structure of your masonry chimney.
