Description
A 400mm slimline storm cowl is the finishing piece at the top of a large flue. In Cape Town, where the southeaster can push smoke straight back into the room, a good storm cowl makes a real difference to how a fireplace or braai canopy draws.

What it does
This slimline storm end piece sits on top of the last flue section. Its design lets smoke escape while blocking gusts and rain from the open pipe. A wide 400mm flue usually serves a large braai, an open fireplace or a big extraction canopy, so a well-fitted chimney cowl helps protect the whole system.
Fits
It suits 400mm single skin flue runs. Check the diameter of your existing pipe before ordering. You can find other sizes in our slimline storm cowls for single flues or browse all flues and accessories.
Fitting note
Fitting a storm cowl means working at height on the roof, so we recommend a professional. Our team secures it, checks the flue height against the roof line and confirms the draw as part of our chimney cowl installation in Cape Town.
Will a storm cowl stop smoke blowing back into my room?
In most homes it helps a lot, because the cowl shields the flue outlet from wind. If smoke still comes back, flue height or a lack of air in the room may be the cause, and we can check both.
