Description
Smoke puffing into the lounge every time the wind picks up is a common Cape Town complaint. A 230mm storm cowl on the top of an insulated (double skin) flue is one of the most effective fixes. It lets smoke out freely while shielding the flue opening from gusts, so the fire keeps drawing on windy days.

Where it works best
A storm cowl earns its place on exposed roofs: hillside homes, coastal suburbs and houses near tall trees or buildings that cause swirling wind. Stainless steel handles salt air and winter rain well. See other sizes in our storm cowl for insulated flues range, or the full cowls section.
Fitting note
This end piece is made for 230mm double skin flue. It will not fit single skin pipe. Our chimney cowl installation team can fit or swap the cowl safely and check that the flue height above the roof is right, since a short flue can also cause smoke problems.
Standard or slimline storm cowl?
Both stop wind blowing down the flue. The standard version is a little larger and heavier, while the slimline one has a more compact look. We can help you choose.
