Smokeless Fuel Chimney Cowls from Chimney Cowl Products

What is the Best Chimney Cowl for Smokeless Fuel?

10 Oct
0 32 Post by

What Are Smokeless Fuels?

Smokeless Fuels are a type of fuel that emits up to 80% less smoke than traditional coal, sometimes the smoke isn’t even visible. These types of fuels are becoming more popular, not only due to some areas in the UK having a smoking ban and the UK Governments pledge that from February 2021 the ban of sale of Coal and Wet Wood for the use in house fires will be enforced as a a bid to curb particulate matter (PM) emissions. Smokeless Fuels can offer up to a third more heat than traditional coal. They are also suitable for open fires and multi-fuel stoves.

Smokeless fuels are a man-made product made up of naturally occurring materials. A large percentage of smokeless fuels are based off an organic product called anthracite; it’s used because it has a high carbon percentage, meaning it contains less unstable properties and therefore doesn’t give off any smoke when it’s burnt.

Super H Chimney Cowl

Why Our Super H Cowl will Cure All Chimney Downdraught

28 Aug
0 203 Post by
Our Traditional 'Super H' Cowl is designed to ensure that no matter what the wind direction or strength your flue or chimney will be protected from downdraught. As the wind passes down the top of the external parts, it creates a wind flow that exhausts the smoke and fumes out of the lower exits, quite simply brilliant. So powerful is this action of the H Cowl that gusts of wind blowing through the air shafts produce an up-draught equal to about 30% of the velocity of the gusts. In normal weather, the 'Super H' Cowl Cowl possessing four outlets to the atmosphere improves any sluggish updraught. Only the genuine 'Super H' Pot and Cowl has the exclusive design, which converts downdraught into an updraught — no matter how strong or gusty the wind may be. Our superb range of Traditional 'Super H' Cowl are designed for all types of flue and sizes including the appropriate fixing for Chimney Pots, Twin Wall Flue and flexible flue liner fixings. We also have the option of Powder Coating your Traditional 'Super H' Cowl so that your Traditional 'Super H' Cowl  will blend in with your Chimney Pot/Flue. Terracotta, Buff STone, Black or Natural (Sliver) colour Super H Cowls are available. Our Traditional 'Super H' Cowl are quite big and you get a lot for your money, especially our larger size H Cowls. They are superb for adding additional height to your Chimney and often used to add extra height to allow for fumes to lift above roof ridges. Please be aware that due to their size they can occasionally look quite imposing however, if this doesn't really matter then this is the chimney cowl for you.

Short Chimney Flue Solutions

If you have installed a Wood Burning Stove and have a Short Chimney Flue there is a very good chance that you will suffer downdraught from your Chimney and your Stoves will not be functioning properly. Downdraught's occur when smoke billows back down the chimney and into your room. This is a common occurrence associated with short chimneys on bungalows, conservatories, single storey extensions, chimneys situated below the roof line or even glamping accommodation.

Why Should I Cap or put a Cowl on my Chimney?

14 Jul

Why Should I Cap or put a Cowl on my Chimney?

There are four main reasons why installing a Chimney Cowl or Disused Chimney Cap is a good idea:

To Improve Draw

Certain Chimney Cowls are designed to allow hot air and fumes to be more efficiently extracted by the flue pipe. For flue systems with a particularly weak draw, a Rotating Chimney Cowl or our Super H Chimney Cowl is recommended. Please note however, such cowls should not be used in cases where there is no draw problem, as they can actually be counterproductive and cause your fire or stove to overfire.

Anti-Downdraught

Downdraught is not just a nuisance, it can actually be dangerous to you and your family. As well as creating unpleasant odours in your home, the smoke can contain high volumes of CO (Carbon Monoxide) which is toxic and hazardous to health. So if downdraught is a problem, it is important that you take steps to install a suitable anti-downdraught chimney cowl as soon as possible. Please select the following link to view our anti-downdraught range.

Animal Proofing

Bird guard chimney cowls are designed to prevent birds and other animals, such as squirrels, from nesting in your chimney, which is a common problem. Worse still, it’s not unusual for animals to actually fall down the chimney. This can result in them either falling into your fireplace and getting into your home, or causing a dangerous obstruction inside the chimney. In all cases, animals are the scourge of the fireplace. By blocking the chimney using a bird guard device, you keep things safe for both yourself and the animals in your neighbourhood.

Weather Proofing from Rain Ingress, Freeze and Thaw Cycles

Rain and snow can cause issues for your chimney flue. A little rain may not be a problem, but over time it can accumulate moisture (particularly in months where the fireplace is not in use) which will damage your chimney and be costly to repair. The same is true of snow, though if you are lighting the fire often during snowy seasons, this will help evaporate any moisture. A birdguard will help eliminate any such problems.
