The Idea

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.
