Dunbrik liners have been tested by BSRIA and achieved the highest categories in each class as follows:

Or you might prefer a draught excluder made for the specific size of your chimney. Breathable materials like wool are best, allowing air to pass through but keeping the heat in. If the wind or cold air isn’t blowing from your chimney, it could be getting through gaps on the vent pipe. Vent pipes are essential components in vented gas fireplaces since they facilitate combustion and ventilation. However, when leaking, these pipes can cause draft problems. CHIMELLA LARGE– flue size between 200mm x 350mm up to 450mm x 700mm at a height of between 600mm and 800mm above the fireplace opening. The added benefit of doing all this will be that if you ever decided to use that fireplace for a wood burner, providing you choose a stove fit for the purpose of your fireplace and room, the chimney is set up ready for a flexible flue liner installation, which should inevitably save you some costs toward the installation. 2019-05-06T20:30:02+01:00 CHIMELLA STANDARD– flue size between 150mm x 150mm up to 430mm x 430mm at a height of between 600mm and 700mm above the fireplace opening.The environmental price tag of laundry is rather hefty.

With it being Peat Free April, we thought it was probably a good time to update you on our latest Buy Land Plant Trees project. We’ve been starting the process of restoring a peat bog! First up is getting a draught excluder: a handy device fitted inside the chimney or around the fireplace, to stop the warm air going up and the cold draughts coming in.

Installing glass doors to the front of an open-hearth fireplace can nearly double the fireplace’s heat efficiency. Not only does the glass stop cold air from entering the room, but it also provides a safety barrier for children and pets. Many styles of tempered-glass, hinged doors come with magnetic latches to keep them tightly closed. This will help you calculate where to hold the CHIMELLA before releasing the canopy to the desired height in your chimney.I would recommend that you first have the flue swept, then a capping cowl is fitted to the terminal/pot, which would allow the flue to breathe but prevent water ingress and birds from entering the flue.

Are you finding it hard to light your gas fireplaces due to wind gusts? If your vent is uncovered, this means that a lot of air is entering your gas fireplace and blowing out the flames. In that case, installing a wind guard is the best option. A wind guard usually has a mesh around it and an aluminum cap on top. Aside from vents, chimneys are also a good place to install a wind guard. However, do this only if you have a gas fireplace. 2. Install a Chimney Cowl The Chimney Umbrella fits all round, square and rectangular flue sizes. Please see below for the range of Chimella sizes to match your flue.Improving the efficiency of your heating system will help reduce your fuel bills and carbon emissions. Draught-proofing A chimney cowl has rotating components that move according to the wind’s direction. (Think of it as a more complicated version of an anemometer.) The rotating cowl catches the wind and redirects it towards another direction, preventing it from getting into your chimney. Also, the cowl protects against any intruders and minimizes any noise from the blowing wind. You can inflate the chimney balloon after inserting it into your chimney instead of the other way around. However, it’s better to inflate it halfway, place it inside the chimney, and fully inflate it from there.
