Overview
Chimney Sheep is a highly efficient draught excluder, made from robust Herdwick sheep's wool. Purpose-built for open chimneys, it excels in preventing heat loss, reducing energy bills, and minimising wind noise. Draughts can be reduced by over 90% with a safe level of chimney ventilation being provided at all times. No ventilation gap is required due to the natural breathability and permeability of herdwick wool. It is a proven solution, delivering year-round advantages by retaining warmth in winter and by maintaining a cooler temperature in summer. As well as its sustainable materials, it safeguards homes from wildlife and debris, making it a vital addition for enhanced energy efficiency and comfort.
