Fireplace guidelines

These fireplace guidelines are provided as a general sizing chart for fireplace relining. They were calculated using a 10:1 ratio.

If your chimney exceeds 25' it is recommended you use a 12:1 ratio.

If your fireplace opening is:

• Up to 600 square inches a 9" liner is needed.

• 601 to 760 square inches a 10" liner is needed.

• 761 to 942 square inches an 11" liner is needed.

• 943 to 1140 square inches a 12" liner is needed.

• 1141 to 1356 square inches a 14" liner is needed.

• 1357 to 1846 square inches a 16" liner is needed.

Example: Your chimney measures 20x30 or 600 square inches. You will need a 9" liner to hold the volume.
