Ensuring Chimney Safety and Efficiency with Heat Shield
Heat Shield is a cutting-edge “Cerfractory®” sealant that revitalizes your chimney’s flue, ensuring the safe emission of flue gases from your home. It effectively seals any gaps, cracks, and spalling, providing long-term protection. Depending on the specific issues present, either the Repair System or the CeCure® Sleeve Relining System will be used to restore your chimney to optimal safety and operational standards.
Three-Tiered Chimney Repair Systems
For interior chimney restorations, three primary methods are employed. Defective mortar joints are addressed with the Joint Repair System. The Resurfacing System tackles both mortar joint repairs and minor flaws in tile-lined flues. The Heat Shield paired with the CeCure® Sleeve Relining System is reserved for chimneys with significant damage or those without existing liners.
Joint Repair System
The Heat Shield Joint Repair System represents an advanced approach to chimney maintenance, combining certified expertise with cutting-edge “Cerfractory®” technology. Here’s how it stands out:
Selected for their certifications and experience, Heat Shield installers are trained in applying the unique “Cerfractory®” technology to repair and seal chimneys, ensuring each job is completed with precision and validated with video inspection.
Utilizing “Cerfractory®” material—a blend of ceramic and refractory compounds—Heat Shield systems provide an eco-friendly repair solution, minimizing environmental impact while offering durability and resilience.
The Joint Repair System uses a specially designed foam applicator, customized for each chimney, to apply the “Cerfractory®” sealant, ensuring repairs are thorough and specifically tailored to the structure’s needs.
Whether it’s the Joint Repair System for minor issues or the CeCure® Sleeve for significant defects, the “Cerfractory®” technology adapts to different levels of chimney damage, providing a versatile solution for homeowners.
By employing “Cerfractory®” materials in their systems, Heat Shield offers homeowners a financially advantageous option compared to the extensive costs associated with chimney rebuilding or flue tile removal.
Resurfacing System
The Resurfacing System is Heat Shield’s solution for chimneys with flue surfaces impaired by cracks or spalling. This innovative approach employs a unique Cerfractory® technology to ensure a sound, sealed flue. Here’s an overview:
A foam applicator plug, custom-made for each chimney, is utilized to evenly distribute the Cerfractory® sealant, resurfacing the flue interior.
Each repair is meticulously verified with cameras, ensuring a smoke-tight seal and enduring repair integrity.
The “tie coat” material acts as a primer for the Cerfractory® Flue Sealant, promoting superior adhesion and providing a resilient surface.
Renowned for its “slip cast extrusion” method, the system ensures an optimal thickness of the Cerfractory® material, safeguarding against extreme temperatures and conditions.
Embracing eco-friendliness, this system minimizes ecological impact, aligning with today’s sustainability standards.
CeCure® Sleeve Relining System
The CeCure® Sleeve Relining System, provided by Heat Shield, is engineered for chimneys needing extensive repair or for those without existing linings. Here are the key aspects of this advanced system:
It uses a ceramic insulation sleeve reinforced with stainless steel fabric, providing robust defense against high temperatures and deterioration.
The system incorporates a special applicator plug and winch mechanism for accurately applying the Heat Shield Cerfractory® sealant to the flue walls.
A two-part application process ensures that the chimney is thoroughly sealed, enhancing the structure’s durability and performance.
Installers use video cameras to confirm that the sleeve is completely coated and properly installed, ensuring the chimney’s long-term integrity.
Feel the Warmth, Not the Worry with Heat Shield

It’s crafted to endure, easily handling moisture and the corrosive byproducts of combustion, while tolerating temperatures soaring above 2900°F. Not just any ordinary mortar, Heat Shield excels beyond the “Super-Duty” benchmark of the ASTM. It complies with the highest demands for chimney liners, certified for all fuel types, and when integrated with the CeCure® Sleeve, it reaches new heights of efficiency and safety.
