Description
The 300mm Slimline Storm Cowl is a single skin cowl, the final piece at the top of a 300 mm single skin flue. A good chimney cowl protects the flue from rain, birds and leaves, and in a windy city it also helps stop downdraught, so smoke goes up and out rather than back into your lounge.
300mm Slimline Storm Cowl Details
- Diameter: 300mm
- Material: stainless steel
- Weight: 3 kg
- Type: storm cowl end piece for single skin flues
The slimline shape keeps a low, neat look on the roof while still shielding the flue opening from side wind. Stainless steel stands up to coastal air and winter rain far better than painted mild steel.
What does it fit?
It sits on the top of a 300 mm single skin flue run. Large flues like this are often used on big open fireplaces and braai chimneys. Browse our cowls or the full flues and accessories range for matching parts.
Fitting note
The cowl must be fixed firmly so the wind cannot lift it, and the flue must be high enough above the roof line to draw well. Our team fits cowls on all roof types. See our chimney cowl installation in Cape Town service.
Will a storm cowl fix a smoking fireplace?
Often, yes, if the problem is wind blowing down the flue. If the flue is too short or the room lacks air, we will tell you after a quick check.
