Product Description

The Brewer Birdguard Chimney Cowl is designed to prevent birds and debris from entering your chimney. It achieves this with the use of a wired mesh designed to prevent unwanted entry into your system whilst also allowing smoke and fumes to be exhausted efficiently. Fitted with an integral rain hat, it has the added advantage of minimising rain entry helping to prevent internal structural decay.

The Brewer Round Solid Fuel Birdguard is made in our own factory here in England from either aluminium or stainless steel and then powder coated if required. We recommend the stainless steel version for solid fuel systems especially when burning coals and smokeless fuels which are more corrosive than other fuel types.

• Fits all flues 150mm -250mm internal diameter, maximum external diameter of pot 285mm
• Corrosion resistant, 1 inch mesh
• Exceptional product quality
• Strap fixing kit included
• Powder coated in non corrosive finish

This Chimney Cowl is complete with a Strap Fixing Kit.

Fitting

The High Top Birdguard is fitted to the chimney pot via the use of a simple and secure leg and stainless steel strap system.

Choosing the Correct Size

How to choose a Chimney Cap or Chimney Cowl for your Chimney Pot

If you can accurately guess the size or width of the chimney pot from the floor you can order the right Cap or Cowl from Chimney Cowl Products. The good news is this is relatively easy once you know the rough size of a house brick and the thickness of the walls of a chimney pot.

Using either the naked eye or a set of binoculars get a 'side on' view of the chimney pot you wish to cap or fit a chimney cowl, then find a full sized brick nearest to the chosen pot as a reference, normally directly underneath.

Now imagine that the brick is placed on top of the chimney pot itself and make a mental note whether it would fit inside, hang over, or sit flush. It may sound silly but once you know that the width of an average UK house brick is 225mm ( 9" ) for imperial or 215 ( 8 and half " ) on a modern property, it provides a very accurate impromptu tape measure.

The other factor you may need is internal pot size, this can also be guessed quite accurately if you know the average thickness of a chimney pot is about 25mm ( 1" ) , simply factor this in and you can work out most chimney pot width's quite accurately.

If you have large decorative rolls on top of the pot, make an allowance for this by guessing, using a brick as your guide.

That's it, our range of Chimney Cowls and Caps are all available for immediate delivery.
