Our single ply round chimney liner kits are made of 316L stainless steel. 316L stainless steel is better than 304L and 316ti stainless steel because 316L has less alloys that rust. The burning of wood creates creosote, creosote is very acidic and the acids will make a 304L or 316ti liner rust.
Single ply liners are not smooth on the inside of the liner. Single ply liners produce 20% less draft than double ply smooth liners. Longer chimneys produce more draft than short chimneys. For example a 12 foot chimney will produce less draft than a 30 foot chimney. So if you have a 30 foot chimney, you may prefer a single ply liner because having less draft because it is a single ply liner will mean your wood will burn longer...
