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).
ORDER #15081 - I bought the SIlvacore (branded Duraflue on packaging) based on a recommendation from a friend who purchased from SFW a couple of years ago. It wasn't the cheapest but I want this to last for many years. I am new to stove fitting but the difference in construction between the old one I removed and the new Silvacore is night and day, the original liner tore/unravelled easily when pulled but the Silvacore is very sturdy and gives the impression it will last for many years. A good feature is that it can be installed either way around, only downside it is very stiff so can be difficult to manipulate when fitting but this feels like a sign of quality! I was also very pleased with the help offered by Julian and the team when I had an installation question -thanks!
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

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.
