Why Thermocrete Is Changing the Game
The basic anatomy of a chimney has remained essentially unchanged for centuries. However, new advancements in technology are making chimneys safer, more efficient, and easier to maintain. Approved Industries is leading the way with Thermocrete, an innovative ceramic coating that is changing the game. It is revolutionizing how chimney sweeps and hearth dealers approach chimney repair and relining by providing a durable, cost-effective, and safe alternative to traditional methods.
Why Thermocrete?
Chimneys are vital for the safe ventilation of combustion byproducts from fireplaces, stoves, furnaces, and other heating appliances. Their constant exposure to high temperatures, corrosive byproducts, and environmental elements can damage the liner. Cracks, leaks, and small fires can compromise their integrity, posing serious safety risks, including carbon monoxide leaks and fire hazards. Thermocrete emerges as a game-changer by addressing these issues with a seamless, robust, and long-lasting solution, without the need to remove the existing liner or install a new one.
The Thermocrete Advantage
Thermocrete is becoming increasingly popular due to its numerous benefits when compared to other relining methods:
- Airtight Seal: With the consistency of a slurry, Thermocrete provides complete coverage, filling every crack and void with a smooth, durable, airtight barrier. This effectively eliminates the risk of dangerous gases, such as carbon monoxide, leaking into the home, significantly enhancing safety.
- Unmatched Durability: Formulated to withstand the intense heat inside the flue, Thermocrete hardens into a ceramic-based lining that is exceptionally durable. Its resistance to moisture, heat, and corrosive gases ensures a long lifespan.
- Improves Efficiency: Its smooth, durable surface optimizes the chimney’s draft, improving the efficiency of heating appliances. This efficiency can lead to better performance and less energy consumption.
- Multiple Fuel Types: Thermocrete is compatible with various fuel types, including wood, gas, and oil, making it a versatile solution for a wide range of heating systems.
- Lifetime Warranty: Thermocrete is backed by a lifetime warranty, offering peace of mind and confidence in its long-term performance and durability.
How it Works
Thermocrete is available for professional use only by a certified installer. Here are the steps to a successful application:
- Inspection: First, a certified chimney sweep will perform a thorough inspection of the chimney.
- Cleaning: The chimney is then cleaned to remove any soot, creosote, or debris, ensuring a clean surface for the Thermocrete application.
- Application: Next, a proprietary ceramic-based coating is applied to the interior of the chimney flue, filling all cracks and imperfections.
- Curing: Finally, Thermocrete hardens quickly, forming a durable, seamless, and heat-resistant lining that restores the chimney’s structural integrity and functionality.
Safe for Older & Historic Chimneys
One of the most significant advantages of Thermocrete is its suitability for older and historic chimneys. Unlike intrusive traditional methods that might alter the original structure or appearance of these valuable historical assets, Thermocrete’s non-invasive application preserves their integrity. It is ideal for maintaining the safety and functionality of aging chimneys without compromising their historical value.
