14 Reasons Golden Flue is "The Cure for the Flue"
- Zero-clearance to combustibles with only 1" lining material.
- UL Listed by Underwriters Laboratories.
- Withstands flue fires at 2100 degrees
- Seals voids and cracks in brickwork.
- Fills damaged and recessed mortar joints.
- Seals interior chimney walls, preventing smoke and flue gases from escaping.
- Prevents further deterioration from inside the flue.
- Insulates the chimney reducing condensation and creosote.
- Reduces heat transfer which can result in structural fires.
- Adds structural strength beyond original construction.
- Withstands the attack of acids produced by gas and oil furnaces vented to chimney fires.
- Allows chimneys with multiple offsets to be lined.
- The smoke chamber is lined, protecting the heart of the chimney.
- The Golden Flue results in a one-piece masonry liner with no seams or joints to weaken later.

The Golden Flue liner is a specially formulated masonry product developed from field and laboratory research. The mix is manufactured and maintained at a precise ratio, matching tested formulas.
Golden Flue is made from a naturally insulated material which eliminates most heat transfer. Heat transfer is the number one cause of structural fires. Golden Flue eliminates most third degree creosote and withstands temperatures in excess of 2100°F. A bonder is used for allowing the mixture to adhere on surfaces covered with creosote. Refined perlite is added for a better insulation value. A plasticizer is added to improve the mixing and flowability of Golden Flue. This flowability is important for sealing voids, cracks and for structurally strengthening the chimney. Other poured liners on the market don’t have this valuable characteristic. Air entrainment, another ingredient, creates tiny air bubbles which allow the mix to expand and contract within itself.
Golden Flue manufactures several mixes, from historical and residential to a high-temperature commercial grade.
Golden Flue was the first pumped chimney liner to be tested and approved by the proposed U.L. standard 1777. It has also passed strength, acid absorbency, freeze/thaw and high temperature tests exceeding 2100°F. Golden Flue is one of the few pumped chimney liners tested and approved by Underwriters Laboratories for U.L. Listing. This assures the customer that each bag of Golden Flue matches the tested product. Golden Flue is zero clearance to combustibles with only one inch of lining mix.
