Why Choose a Golden Flue Liner?
The Golden Flue liner is a specially formulated masonry product developed from field
and laboratory research. The mix is manufactured and maintained at a precise ratio,
matching tested formulas.
Golden Flue is made from a naturally insulated material which eliminates heat transfer.
Heat transfer is the number one cause of structural fire. Golden Flue eliminates most
third degree creosote and withstands temperatures in excess of 2100 degree Fahrenheit. A
bonder is used for allowing the mixture to adhere on surfaces covered with creosote.
Refine perlite is added for a better insulation value. A plastercizer is added to improve
the mixing and flowability of Golden Flue. This flowability is important for sealing
voids, cracks and for structurally strengthening the chimney. Other poured liners on the
market don't have this valuable characteristic. Air intrainment, another ingredient,
creates tiny air bubbles which allow the mix to expand and contract within itself, without
cracking.
Golden Flue manufactures several mixes, from historical residential to a
high-temperature commercial grade.
Golden Flue was the first pumped chimney liner to be tested and approved by the proposed
U.L. standard 1777. It has also passed strength, acid absorbency, freeze/thaw and high
temperature tests exceeding 2100 degrees Fahrenheit. Currently Golden Flue is the only
pumped chimney liner tested and approved by Underwriters Laboratories for U.L. Listing.
This assures the customer that each bag of Golden Flue matches the tested product. Golden
Flue is zero clearance to combustibles with only one inch of lining mix.
Getting the Job Done!
The existing liner is removed if one is involved. By doing so, it enables us to install
the proper flue size and allows the Golden Flue liner to adhere to the chimney casing.
A chimney former is temporarily installed in the casing and inflated to the proper flue
size. A technique devised by Golden Flue spaces the chimney former away from the interior
casing to assure proper lining thickness and to provide you with a better quality flue.
The bottom is temporarily sealed to confine the Golden Flue mix which is pumped into the
chimney in a semi-liquid state. In addition, pumping the mix eliminates excessive walking
across the roof. After a proper curing time, the chimney former is deflated and removed.
The results are a one-piece, highly-insulated Golden Flue liner with no seams to weaken at
a later date. Due to the flowing of the mix, all loose bricks, voids and cracks are
permanently sealed. The structural strength of the chimney has been increased far beyond a
masonry chimney. In older chimneys, the deterioration of the flue is stopped from the
inside.
Golden Flue liner is so highly insulated that it will dramatically reduce water and smoke
condensation which develops with the use of oil, gas and wood stoves. Golden Flue is ideal
for use with modern, high-efficiency oil and gas furnaces and boilers.
What About Equipment?
Did you know that a main part of the final results of your flue liner is dependent upon
the equipment used to install the pumped masonry liner?
You can have the best product, but inferior equipment will affect the final results. Our
pumps are designed not to damage the ingredients in the mix. Other pumps require extra
water in order to pump the mixture thus creating an inconsistency in the mix. This can
definitely affect the long term usage of a liner.
Should you select a Golden Flue dealer, you are assured of receiving an excellent product
and the best equipment available. Golden Manufacturing designs and manufactures equipment
for all Golden Flue dealers. No other such company exists which specifically manufactures
chimney lining equipment.
