12 x 20 inch Chimney Sheep Chimney Draught Excluder

Product Information

You’ll need to measure up the internal flue of your chimney and choose the right size of product accordingly. For our Chimney Sheep we chose one that was slightly bigger so that it provided a tight fit when installed and wouldn’t fall down. 4) Fireplace Guard/Cover If you have a top-sealing damper there should be a chain with a handle located to the side of the firebox. Pulling this lever will open and close the damper.

A Chimella looks like an inverted umbrella and works in much the same way. All you need to do is hold it up in your open chimney, press the button and it will deploy. You can then make minor adjustments to ensure the canopy stretches taut across the flue. A benefit of Chimella is it won’t move even if a significant amount of debris falls down the chimney. 5. Fit a chimney balloon

A draft stopper for your fireplace can make a noticeable difference to the temperature of a room or even your whole house. We’ve definitely noticed that our living room hasn’t been so cold since we started using a draft stopper within our open fireplace.
