Who We Are

Supaflu® is the poured chimney flue lining system for masonry chimneys that utilizes the innovative and unique process for lining masonry chimneys know as the "cast-in-place" technique. It consists of a factory blend of proprietary cast-in-place aggregates . The System is based on a concept which originated in Europe over 50 years ago and has been in use throughout the United States and Canada since the late 1970's . The chimney lining is poured and cast in place within the existing masonry chimney. With the use of modern equipment, technology, and installation methods, the Supaflu liner installation is a reliable and practical alternative to tearing down the chimney. Supaflu is light weight, insulating, cementitious material designed to withstand high service temperatures.

Our History

In 1963, Englishman Peter McFarlane embarked on research and development of a process that would effectively renovate centuries old chimneys for modern use. Working closely with Great Britain’s National Coal Board, Peter introduced the cast-in-place chimney lining system. Since 1965, Supaflu has been the preferred restoration for tens of thousands of damaged chimneys in Europe and North America, including the Queen’s Palace.

I wanted to write and tell you what a wonderful job the crew did at our house last week. They were very professional and personable. They kept us informed on what they were doing and took the time to answer questions we may have had. They also did a fantastic job of cleaning up at the end of each work day. Please extend our thanks to them and feel free to use us as a reference in the future.

Mr. B. Burgess

Terrific, knowing the chimney is safe and sound now - after a long time worrying about it! I cannot say enough about how impressed I was with your crew's professional manner."
