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).
When installing a flue you don’t want to cut corners. There is no shortage of cheaper stuff on eBay and the likes but this is a quality product which will pay dividends in the long run. It feels solid and not thin and likely to puncture like other makes. Arrived well wrapped and slipping down into my chimney a breeze without any snagging or issues. It’s just a quality product. It’s worth measuring very accurately how much you need so you don’t under spec the length you need. Highly Recommended
I purchased the 316 silvacore liner and fitting pack. The advice given from initial enquiry through to fitting was absolutely first rate abs certainly helped out my mind at ease as a first-timer. The same goes for the liner. My chimney wasn’t the most straightforward to run a liner up and with the amount of manhandling needed at times my fitter reckoned a lower quality liner would have probably split! The fitting kit was of similar high quality, containing everything needed. Advice was either provided when needed or already given on the website or via email when the product was ordered. Great quality products and first-class advice ( no matter how silly the question)- what more could you ask for?

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.

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.
