This will save money, since the chimney insulation protects the structure from various kinds of breakdowns. Currently, chimneys are produced from various materials, for example, from asbestos pipes, steel and so on, but most often bricks are used for the chimney design. The rapid destruction of the chimney occurs due to severe climatic conditions, and the main reason is condensation, which is formed in view of the transfer of temperatures, moisturizes from condensate, even if frosts are on the street.

In addition, after insulation work, the appearance of the structure can also be significantly improved. At the moment, in specialized stores you can find a fairly large number of materials suitable for the finish of the chimney. In particular, such material may be slag concrete and thyroid plate.
