If you have a solid, liquid or gas-fuelled heating system, it is important to know how to seal the chimney. You can find the best sealants and mastics in the Vitcas brand shop.
Every heating system requires the installation of a suitable chimney. This part should be perfectly sealed to ensure that the device works properly and to minimise smoke emissions. Every flue requires sealing with a product such as high-temperature sealant. The best sealants and mastics are available in the Vitcas brand store. Every tile stove putty offered by Vitcas is a product resistant to extremely high temperatures, reaching up to 1250°C. Refractory putty produced by Vitcas is a high-quality product from the refractory materials category.
Which chimney sealant should you choose?
The Vitcas shop offers, among other things, putty for chimney pots, but also putty for tiled stoves. These are refractory materials that do not lose their unique properties, even in direct contact with an open fire. After a long period of use, this refractory putty does not crack or crumble. It can be used to build and maintain heating systems. The special tubes in which it is sold allow it to be applied anywhere. Customers can choose refractory putty, which is a flexible sealant that perfectly fills any crack. They can also choose high-temperature putty for joining individual chimney elements.
Adhesives and sealants for ceramic chimneys – what is worth knowing?
The chimney seal is a key aspect of its proper functioning, which affects not only safety but also heating efficiency. During the operation of chimneys, the materials expand due to heat, which causes microcracks to form through which exhaust gases can escape. To prevent this, refractory putty and high-temperature mastics are used to form a flexible and temperature-resistant protective barrier.
The most commonly used chimney sealants are tile grout and chimney pottery grout, which effectively fill gaps and prevent smoke from entering the building. These products must be resistant to temperatures of up to 1250°C, which guarantees their longevity and durability. The application of sealing putties is simple – just thoroughly clean the surface of dust and soot, then apply the product evenly and leave it to harden.
It is worth remembering that a well-sealed chimney reduces heat loss, which translates into greater energy efficiency and lower heating costs. Choosing the right products, such as Vitcas refractory mastic, allows for quick and effective chimney maintenance, which increases its safety and extends the life of the entire heating system.
