About Thermocrete

Thermocrete is a premium, durable ceramic liner for use in the repair, restoration, and energy conversion of chimneys and chimney flues. Above all, it lines and protects with sprayed ceramic technology. Additionally, Thermocrete seals holes and cracks, thereby increasing efficiency and strengthening the chimney. Therefore, Thermocrete makes it easy to retrofit chimneys for conversion to natural gas. Installation is quick, cost-effective, and environmentally friendly. In fact, unlike traditional fuel conversion methods, Thermocrete requires no major construction and does not reduce the flue diameter.

Why Thermocrete?

There are many benefits of choosing Thermocrete Ceramic Flue Liner compared to a steel liner, including:

  • Minimal intrusion for residents/tenants
  • Significant cost savings
  • Quick installation time
  • Environmental compliance
  • Resistance to corrosion from the elements
  • Minimal downsizing of flue area
  • Ceramics will not corrode like stainless steel.
  • Impervious to acids, sulfurous emissions, chlorides, and creosote

Moreover, Thermocrete was listed with Warnock Hersey in 1999, then additionally relisted in 2011/2016 by Guardian Test Labs per ULC-S635.

Residential Use

Thermocrete gives chimney professionals the ultimate cost-effective solution for relining client flues, thanks to its fast installation, easy maintenance, and lifetime warranty. When flue liners fail due to creosote buildup, corrosion, cracks, or wear, the high heat in the chimney can transfer to nearby combustible materials, resulting in a fire. Additionally, there are over 25,000 residential structure fires annually, according to National Fire Protection Association (NFPA) statistics. Excessive creosote from failure to properly sweep the chimney is cited as the primary cause.

ThermoCrete

Thermocrete is a cost-effective, durable solution for repairing and restoring residential masonry chimneys. Applied as a spray-on ceramic coating by factory-trained professionals, Thermocrete creates a seamless, heat-resistant barrier that seals cracks and joints, protects against corrosive fumes, and prevents creosote buildup — a leading cause of chimney fires. In fact, its fast, mess-free installation and lifetime warranty make it a wise choice for homeowners and chimney professionals alike.

Thermocrete outperforms traditional liners like terra cotta and stainless steel, offering unmatched durability, as well as fire protection, and long-term maintenance savings. Environmentally friendly and suitable for chimneys serving wood-, gas-, oil-, or coal-burning appliances, Thermocrete ensures safer, more efficient operation across all types of residential heating systems.

What is Thermocrete?

Thermocrete is an innovative spray-on ceramic liner applied by factory-trained chimney professionals. It is impervious to creosote, sulfuric emissions, and acidic corrosion, making it ideal for repairing and restoring chimney flues in residential structures. Approved Industries, a leading distributor of advanced ceramic coatings and thermal protective systems, manufactures it.

How Does It Work

A factory-trained professional inserts a uniform spray-on applicator from the top of the chimney. The mechanical sprayer glides down the flue, providing a uniform ceramic coating that thoroughly seals all cracks and joints, eliminating the need for complete liner replacement. The compound dries into a durable ceramic finish in about 30 minutes, leaving behind a smooth barrier that protects against extreme heat, corrosive fumes, and creosote buildup.

Thermocrete Advantages

Thermocrete stands out as a cost-effective alternative to traditional liner repairs and replacements. Its exceptional durability, longevity, and heat resistance make it a superior choice. Unlike other liners, such as terra cotta and steel, which can crack and rust, Thermocrete’s unique characteristics make it impervious to creosote and acidic corrosion that can damage other liners. It even outperforms stainless steel liners in terms of resistance to these detrimental factors. Thermocrete also offers:
