Retains heat and reduces heating loss, thanks to inflatable chimney balloon
An inflatable balloon expands to fill the chimney cross-section, creating an airtight seal when fully inflated. The barrier plugs airflow through the flue so external cold air cannot enter the room.
Keeps warm air in living spaces and reduces cold downdrafts, making rooms more comfortable during colder months.
Reduces whistling and wind noise, with an internal seal that blocks airflow
Blocking the chimney throat stops pressure-driven air movement that causes whistles and drafts. The seal also interrupts the path for wind-driven noise into the house.
Leads to a noticeably quieter living room and eliminates chimney whistling as reported by users.
Quick, reusable installation, with free mouth inflation tube included
Inflation is achieved using the supplied mouth tube or an optional foot pump, allowing rapid expansion and a snug fit. The insert can be deflated and removed for seasonal use.
