Now that Winter is slowly drawing to an end, we start to become a little more aware of just what our fireplace looks like. No longer distracted by the glow of the fire, the smoke and soot stains begin to become more apparent on the fireplace’s exterior. The dark, smokey look of a fireplace has become so accepted that often homeowners forget just what their fireplace surround looks like.

Paint ChimneySaver’s Paint “N” Peel, is just the ticket to freshen up a well-used fireplace. To prep the area, simply wipe the surface rust with damp cloths, and tape off any surfaces around the affected masonry. Then, apply a thick coat over stained areas, and allow to dry into a thick film - 6-12 hours, depending on conditions. Once completely dry, carefully pull the film off and discard. After all the film is removed, the fireplace can be put back to use.

Not only effective, this product is environmentally friendly, can be used for interiors and exteriors, and has no noxious odors. Through May 31st, we are offering a special price of $66 for 1.5 Gallons of Paint “N” Peel.

Expert Damper Tips

March 28, 2013 0 Comments Bloggies by admin

Mike Ruehrdanz, our in-field specialist, has worked with Dampers quite a bit, and he has a few tips as you're going out in the field.

What to look for in a Chimney Damper and their benefits:- Dampers should be stainless steel and tested to withstand the heat of a chimney fire.
- Dampers should not cause a reduction in the flow of smoke through the chimney.
- A good selling point can be found in their ability to stop drafts from entering the home.

Removal and Installation:
- Removing an existing damper can be done by using a sledge hammer or grinder.
- Installation is just a matter of sealing the damper in place, to the top of the chimney tile and securing the wire down below the firebox.

Staying Efficient with The Top Damper

March 12, 2013 0 Comments Bloggies by admin

Helping your customers attain better heating and cooling efficiency is a primary selling point out in the field. One of the best and easiest ways to help in these measures is by installing a chimney damper. A damper will keep that valuable warm or cool air in the home by sealing off the chimney flue.

The_TopDamper_Logo

The affordable Top Damper may seem similar to other dampers on the market but make no mistake about it, it is unique! Unlike others similar dampers, The Top Damper requires no Fire Safety Device, which is a wire "coat hanger" type piece with a lead connector. This device has to be installed in their damper in case of a chimney fire or higher temperatures (the lead connector melts releasing the wire device which keeps the damper in the open position). Our damper does not require this device, allowing for a quicker install time.

The_Top_Damper

In addition, it opens higher each time than the competition. We have beefed up the springs and taken some of the weight out of the lid, this allows The Top Damper to open higher and straighter. You won't find a crooked

Top Damper! In its closed position it is virtually invisible from the ground, keeping out rain, snow and sleet and sealing in heat and air-conditioning. Plus, its stainless steel and aluminum design ensures that it won't rust or stain the chimney.

The Top Damper carries a Limited Lifetime Warranty and has a patent pending. For more information on The Top Damper or to contact us, click here.

Water Repellent or Sealant?

March 04, 2013 0 Comments Bloggies by admin

chimneysaverwb_imgWe have three quick tips for our customers using ChimneySaver water repellent for protecting masonry work on residential chimneys.  
1) Remember the manufacturer recommends installing this water repellent by starting from the bottom and working your way up the chimney to the cap.  
2) This water repellent is superior to water proofing or sealing a chimney because ChimneySaver penetrates the masonry up to a 1/4 inch rather than just sit on the surface.  
3) The same properties that make ChimneySaver great for water proofing can also make the roof area around the chimney slick, especially on wood shingles.  Wear your safety gear.

March Highlight - ChimneySaver: The Best Waterproofing Product for Chimneys!

March 01, 2013 0 Comments Bloggies by admin

It's that time of year again, Spring is starting to set in and all that snow is melting. This is the perfect time to make use of our March Special on ChimneySaver! For the month of March we are offering a special on ChimneySaver Water-Base. When you order a 5-gallon container we will actually ship you a 6-gallon container, but only charge you for 5 gallons. This means you get an extra gallon free! Order quick, this offer only lasts as long as our inventory!

At Lindemann Chimney Supply we care the best products for your chimney sweeping and chimney repair business. One of our most popular products is ChimneySaver - the first waterproofing product developed specifically for chimneys. It's been successfully used by chimney professionals for over 20 years to stop leaky chimneys and prevent damage to the masonry.

chimneysaverwb_img 

ChimneySaver reduces water penetration into the masonry by over 99.9% according to ASTM tests conducted at the University of Wyoming. It’s 100% vapor permeable so it won’t trap moisture in the chimney. It lets moisture wick to the outside. Some "waterproofing" agents seal the pores of the masonry actually causing more chimney damage due to freeze/thaw conditions.

Water-based ChimneySaver is VOC compliant and is the most popular formula. However, if a water repellent has previously been applied to the masonry, we recommend the solvent-based formula or the new VOC Compliant Solvent-Based ChimneySaver available in 1-gallon containers. The average coverage rate for most chimneys is about 125 square feet per gallon. A 5-gallon pail of ChimneySaver treats about 2-5 chimneys, depending on the size and porosity of the masonry.
