Chimney Pillow

Would you leave a window open all the time? No? Think of the cold draughts and wasted energy! Well if you have a fireplace, that may be what's happening in your home.

An often overlooked source of heat loss, an open fireplace (when not in use) is much like leaving a window open, costing you higher heating bills, causing cold draughts, and wasting energy.

A Chimney Pillow is a simple, cost effective way to stop chimney draughts and reduce heat loss, so saving energy and making your home warmer. Easy to install and remove, a chimney pillow is an inflatable bag made from a special laminate that makes them airtight, tear resistant and long-lasting.

Chimney Pillows have been specially designed to be easily positioned, and also to allow a little ventilation up the chimney. They're completely safe: if heated it shrivels up.

You can also get a mouth inflation tube so you can still inflate it once it's up the chimney.

Nigel says:

We have 2 draughty fireplaces at home. Blocking them off with a chimney pillow has stopped the draughts - once they're positioned in the chimney you can't see them, so they're also an invisible solution.

Price around £18.99
