How to Protect Your Chimney from Air and Water?
The best way to Protect your Chimney is to seal the chimney with a weatherproofing compound. There are many brands and types of products for this application, but we will be covering three products that we supply here at Landis Block: CrownCoat, Planiseal88, and MasterProtect EL 750.
CrownCoat is an elastomeric coating that is designed specifically for, well, coating your chimney crown. Being an elastomeric product means that it is a synthetic, rubber-like material that exhibits both viscosity and elasticity.
What this means is that it is a flexible material even when fully set and can penetrate into cracks, fully weatherproofing the chimney crown. CrownCoat is also fairly easy to install and includes a 15-year limited warranty if installed by a professional contractor.
Any of these products are a key component in Protecting your Chimney's functioning properly so you can enjoy a cozy fire during the winter. Stop in and visit us to see which product would be best for your specific situation.
