If you have a problem with downdraught and are burning solid fuel (wood, coal or oil) or using a gas system then the UFO (Ultimate Flue Outlet) Multifuel Cowl is a good solution and has been used for many years to good effect. The UFO’s specially shaped discs channel wind to create an updraught (or lower pressure) at the top of the system to counteract wind related downdraught. For use on gas systems the UFO Multifuel Cowl is supplied fully assembled ready for gas installation. Once up on the roof, it is the work of a few minutes to attach the cowl using the stainless steel strap. For use on solid fuel systems the mesh birdguard must be removed, and the four mounting tabs adjusted (full instructions provided) - you may find it easier to order our Square UFO Solid Fuel Cowl which is factory assembled ready for installation on a solid fuel system. Once up on the roof, it is the work of a few minutes to attach the cowl using the stainless steel strap. The Square UFO Multifuel Cowl is made in powder coated aluminium available in terracotta, buff or black.
Fits onto a standard square chimney pot with 150mm to 250mm internal measurement (6” to 10”).
How do I prevent downdraught?
This is a common issue where air is blown back down the chimney. An anti-downdraught cowl will prevent wind entering the chimney.
How do I stop birds getting in my chimney?
Fitting a birdguard will stop birds, leaves and debris entering the chimney. You should choose the correct guard for the fuel you are burning.
Do I need to do anything if I no longer use my chimney?
Chimneys should be protected, especially in winter, if they are no longer used. Adding a cap to the chimney can help stop rain and draughts, but will also allow the required ventilation.
