Maintenance

Routine preventive chimney maintenance with RUTLAND products makes using your indoor or outdoor fireplace, fire pit, chiminea, wood-burning stove, or gas log stove easier – and keeps leisure fire appliances safer for long-term use.

RUTLAND Cements & Mortars can be used to tackle any firebox repair in indoor or outdoor masonry fireplaces or fire pits, build fireboxes or masonry flue liners, replace worn-out fire brick, and many other needs such as filling small cracks, or even bonding and sealing metal-to-metal or masonry-to-metal joints. This full line of high-quality products may be painted once dry or heat cured.

RUTLAND Creosote Removers & Soot Removers are made of a granular material that slowly vaporizes in the chimney, turning creosote or soot buildup into a brushable, easy-to-remove ash. Safe and easy to use for all types of chimneys, these removers activate at 265º F and merely need to be placed on a hot bed of coals that has been burning for at least 15-20 minutes. Each is available in a handy 3 oz toss-in stick, a convenient 3-oz canister 3-pack, or 1 and 2 lb tubs with accompanying scoop.

RUTLAND Sealants & Adhesives form seals that stand up to high heat in fireplace inserts, direct vent appliances, gas-burning systems, pellet stoves, and metal flues on wood-burning and coal-burning stoves. Whether you need permanent or non-permanent, we've got the sealant or adhesive that will do the job and adhere to glass, metal, most plastics, fiberglass, aluminum, wood, brick, and slate.

RUTLAND Gasketing & Insulation comes in convenient Grapho-Glas® 7' length kits to replace 5/16" to 7/8" width fiberglass gasketing and packaged with RUTLAND E-Z Spread Fiberglass Stove Gasket Cement. Also available in bagged 7' lengths or bulk spools up to 200'. These graphite-impregnated gaskets resist abrasion, creosote adhesion, and temperatures up to 1000º F. Braided to resist fraying, this brand is used by major stove manufacturers.
