What is a Chimney Balloon®?
A Chimney Balloon® is an inflatable chimney draught excluder that reduces heat loss through a chimney and cold air draughts from other parts of a home.
Having an open chimney is like leaving your window open all the time. Fitting a Chimney Balloon® to an open chimney is like fitting the gap with double glazing. The Chimney Balloon® is designed to inflate and push against all four walls of the chimney, holding itself firmly in place. The Chimney Balloon® isn’t stretchy like a party balloon, but it has double walls which enable it to keep its pillow shape when it’s inflated. There is a small vent in the side of the product which allows some airflow, permitting your chimney to “breathe” and ensuring damp doesn’t occur in your property.
A Chimney Balloon® is a great home energy saving measure. Installing a Chimney Balloon® in an open chimney flue will reduce chimney draughts making your home feel warmer without your heating having to work harder.
