Silvacore is created on a German-made machine imported to the UK. Only two brands are made on this beautifully-engineered machine and one of the two brands is Silvacore (the other is Duraflue). "I have Silvacore in my chimney" (Julian Patrick, author of The Stovefitter's Manual).
A flue liner is not a product you want to fail within just a few years. Silvacore is designed for professional trade-fitters desiring a premium product for chimney lining.
Silvacore chimney liner is created from TWO compressed stainless-steel layers and this unique laminate stays smooth when the product is passed around chimney bends (with a lesser-quality liner the laminate usually comes apart when dragged through bends - allowing acids from soot deposits to enter and later cause corrosion).
316 (15-year guarantee): suitable for non-eco-design stoves, wood-only fuel use, light use. This liner has an inner core of 316 grade stainless.
Thickness 0.9mm.
MOST POPULAR CHOICE
904 (30-year guarantee): suitable for all stoves and all fuels (including eco-design stoves), light to medium use. This liner has an inner core of 904 grade stainless.
Thickness 0.9mm.
W3G* (lifetime guarantee): suitable for all stoves and all fuels (including eco-design stoves) and heavy use. W3G has a treated double-layer of 904 grade stainless.
Thickness 0.9mm.
Unlike most other brands (where the layers separate on bends) Silvacore can be installed any way up in the chimney.
Slumbering a stove or "banking it up" overnight can shorten the life of the liner. This is because the bad stuff in the gases is not burned off and condenses within the liner. Slumbering is bad for liner, cowl and the environment. Don't do it. Do not mix wood with coal or smokeless fuel (moisture in wood reacts and creates Sulphuric acid). If you insist on slumbering you must choose W3G.
Only two brands are licensed to use W3G technology: Silvacore and Duraflue. Silvacore is manufacture in the Duraflue factory.

If your stove is 5" collar and DEFRA approved (covers most stoves) then you can choose a 5" stove to 5" liner
If your stove is 5" collar and NOT DEFRA approved then choose 5" stove to 6" liner.
If stove is 6" collar then choose a fitting pack here.
If your stove is 4" collar and stove is DEFRA-approved then choose 4" stove to 5" liner.
If your stove is 4" collar and stove is NOT DEFRA-approved then choose 5" stove to 6" liner and add this stove adaptor.

With all of the above this is everything you need except a few tools.
Below are two excellent videos on fitting a liner and then the stove. Note that our Silvacore liner no longer has arrows - it is uni-directional so can be fitted either way. We also generally provide hanging cowl (connects to liner) so the other bits inside the chimney pot in the video are not required.
We offer 14 days from delivery to report any courier damage to your parts. If your item is damaged by the courier we will replace or refund as desired.
Already have a chimney? You need 1. Stove 2. Liner 3. Fitting Pack 4. Chimney closure plate (Hardiebacker board from Builder's merchants or galvanised sheet).That's it!
No chimney? Check out our shed kits or let us design your clip-together chimney design - easy peasy.
Stovefitter's Warehouse is owned and managed by Julian Patrick, blogger and author of The Stove Fitter's Manual. Julian was previously a full-time installer of wood-burning stoves (including solid fuel heating systems). He laid down the tools in 2013 to write his stove manual and open a small shop in North Wales (the Wood Stove Hut, soon to grow into The Stovefitter's Warehouse).
