The Eldfast System

ELDFAST: The Chimney Lining That Lives Up To Its Name

• Lines leaking flues
• Suitable for all fuels
• Class 1 suitable for stoves and open fires
• Unique applications to smaller flue voids e.g. clay liners, gas flue blocks
• Designed to minimise disturbance to the household during installation

Leaking Chimneys

The ravages of time, wind and weather, condensation, frost damage and chimney fires are some of the reasons why chimneys start leaking. Leakage can give rise to a number of problems, such as the smell of smoke indoors, inadequate updraught, the risk of fire or carbon monoxide poisoning.

Chimney Cleaning

Before starting sealing and repair work the chimney should be cleaned mechanically to remove soot, tar and loose particles with steel brushes. Eldfast Has been developed to meet today’s strict requirements and has all the characteristics you would expect of a modern lining and repair agent.

Sealing a Chimney

After lining with the Eldfast method you will have a chimney that is leak-proof, very hard-wearing, completely fireproof, and gives a better updraught as a consequence.

Eldfast

Is a ceramic material that does not contain lime or cement and can therefore withstand continuous exposure to extreme temperatures having been rigurously tested by BSRIA to conform to current builing Regulations & Requirements after the 1st April 2002 changes.

Utilising some adaptions to the installer’s tooling (for which Landyvent are seeking patent), even gas flue blocks can be cleaned and lined, making full use of the nominal coating thickness of the Eldfast system in order to retain those vital minimum flue measurements.

Obviously this same benefit is applicable to several similar types of flue construction: e.g. concrete flue blocks & clay liners which can be lined and sealed using Eldfast.
