It is at least 5x the thickness of conventional chimney liner. It unrolls flat with no extra bending to makie it run straight, and very heavy duty. once you get it going it guides itself down the chimney with little prodding. You need a Metal blade and saw to cut it, no way a pair of tin snips will cut this. It's harder to lug up the roof, but easier to work with, is actually more compact that a regular thin wall ss liner because it does not need the large corrugations to maintain rigidity. Slides down a 7x7 flue where most of the standard 316 liners hang up. Next time you see a dump truck, take a look at the exhuast pipe, where it comes out from the chassis and goes to the vertical stack. That heavy flex pipe you see is basically how elmer's makes their liner.
