FireGuard Historic was born from a shared vision between the New England Chimney Supply team and Cathedral Stone Products, Inc., home of Jahn Masonry Restoration Systems. Both organizations brought decades of expertise in material science, masonry restoration, and fire protection to create a solution that honors the craftsmanship of the past while meeting the performance expectations of today.

The development team recognized a growing need within the preservation community, a way to repair and restore historic chimney flues without compromising material authenticity or structural integrity. Many traditional repair products lacked compatibility with the period-specific mortars and substrates found in older masonry, often leading to premature failure or visual inconsistency. FireGuard Historic was engineered to change that.

Through extensive collaboration and testing, the partnership developed a custom mortar blend and application process that aligns with preservation mandates for period-accurate material composition. The result is a system that restores function while maintaining historical integrity, ensuring that every repair enhances, rather than alters, the original character of the structure.

Today, FireGuard Historic represents more than just a restoration material; it embodies a commitment to stewardship, innovation, and authenticity. Every component reflects the belief that preserving history should never come at the cost of accuracy, and that true craftsmanship stands the test of time.
