CX80 SEALANTS

For safety reasons, it's crucial to properly seal chimney flues and grates. The sealants used must be resistant to very high temperatures, which can reach over 1000°C in fireplaces and stoves (our product can temporarily withstand up to 1500°C).

Why should you use fireplace sealants?

The proper operation of a fireplace, stove, or boiler depends on the tightness of the entire chimney. Why is this so important?

• The correct combustion process requires what is known as a draft, i.e. the movement of air from inside the house, through the fireplace, to the outside through the chimney. Fireplace sealant prevents interruption of the air flow and maintains the supply of oxygen to the grate.
• Fireproof sealing of chimney flues is a key fire protection measure because hot smoke cannot escape from the chimney.
• Correctly selected sealants for fireplaces prevent poisonous carbon monoxide and smoke from entering the apartment.
• A poorly secured fireplace, stove, or boiler can also pose a threat to the entire building structure, primarily by causing overheating of key wall and roof elements.

That's why it's important not only to seal the fireplace during installation, but also to repair any gaps or cracks that may develop. It's crucial to choose the right sealant.
