The Brewer Aerodyne Anti-Downdraught Chimney Cowl With Strap Fixing is a high quality, incredibly durable and effective solution for solving wind-related downdraught issues. Suitable for use with solid fuel (wood and coal) systems, this cowl is available in a choice of finishes, including Black, Buff, Natural and Terracotta.
Trusted for over 50 years, the Aerodyne Cowl uses unique venturi-shaped surfaces, so when wind passes through the cowl from any direction, a drop in air pressure occurs. This drop in air pressure draws smoke and fumes up the chimney for a more efficient dispersal into the atmosphere. The cowl will therefore prevent wind-related downdraught caused by nearby tall buildings and trees or incorrect chimney height which can manifest as both a lack of draw (updraught) and as a downdraught problem.
Installation: Uses the strap fixing method which is the most secure method of fixing the cowl to the pot, achieved with the use of external legs that are bent around a stainless steel strap which encircles the pot. Can be fitted to any standard size round chimney pot with internal diameters between 150mm to 240mm (6” – 9.5”). This product comes with a strap attaching kit and is made of 1.2mm thick high quality aluminium alloy.
Please note, chimney pots are not included. This product is not suitable for gas fires.
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.
