14 x 24 inch Chimney Balloon Chimney Draught Excluder + FREE mouth inflation tube - NEW IMPROVED DESIGN, Made in the UK

Product Information

Please ensure that if you're using a Chimney Sheep® chimney plug in a gas fireplace, it has been decommissioned as advised by Gas Safe or use one of our magnetic fireplace draught excluder blankets. The Chimney Sheep is becoming known for being easier to use, more robust, longer lasting and more accommodating for different chimney sizes than the balloon.

If your chimney is wider or longer than this, you can purchase two Chimney Draught Stoppers and glue them together with spray-on upholstery adhesive. Just as when draught proofing a front door or your windows, there are many different products on the market designed to prevent heat loss from the chimney. The technical storage or access is strictly necessary for the legitimate purpose of enabling the use of a specific service explicitly requested by the subscriber or user, or for the sole purpose of carrying out the transmission of a communication over an electronic communications network. The Chimney Balloon is made from plastic, and is designed to be inflated, using a pump or by blowing into a pipe, to fill the chimney and prevent cold air from coming in and warm air from travelling up and out.

Imagine all of the energy saved by being able to securely seal your flue when your fireplace is not in use. It stops heat loss by acting as a chimney plug draft stopper that air seals and insulates the fireplace. They were the go-to solution for the majority of homeowners who want to stop their chimneys from affecting their thermal comfort without structural change. The Chimney Balloon remains the most effective and safest inflatable chimney draught excluder on the market.

It is also a useful idea to include a reminder in the hearth that you have a plug inserted into the chimney – just in case you forget. Some, such as The Chimney Balloon, feature small vents, while natural products made from wool are breathable by their very nature. It’s also a good idea to hold the top of the device when replacing the filter cover to avoid putting pressure on the bracket fixings when unscrewing the cover. The answer is to take a look up the chimney (tricky, but necessary) to see what shape the throat of the flue is, and that it is not clogged up with soot, and install whichever is most appropriate.We've been making homes clean and safe for over 30 years and would love to help you solve your chimney problems. This allows you to reduce heat loss as much as possible and is especially useful if your central heating is currently turned on. We've got a range of dangles that act as a reminder when your Chimney Sheep® is in place as well as our storage wraps that keep soot contained when you aren't using your Chimney Sheep®.

The Chimney Balloon is designed to be inflated inside the flue to fill the space — a small vent ensures good ventilation is maintained.
