How
it Works
The
chimney balloon is effective mainly because
of one single principle, warm
air rises and cold air sinks.
With the chimney balloon we can stop both at
once, keeping cold air from entering the room, and
warm air from escaping up the chimney.

Chimneys
act as a funnel and pump to take warm air
away. This is a good thing when your fire is
lit
and the warm air is full of smoke.
However, chimneys work hard even when there is
no fire. Have you ever wondered why cold air rushes
in through the gaps in the floors, doors and
windows? (maybe even down the chimney !) It
can't get in unless it is going out at the same speed.
You could block your fireplace with a board or
bricks but then it looks ugly, and you can't
use your fire when you feel like it. You'll also find
that your chimney will get damp because the
bricks aren't breathing.
You could stuff newspapers up the chimney
throat, but they won't be efficient, will
probably move, and are a potential fire risk.
You could stick a seal on the top of the
chimney, but it will cost you lots and you can
forget lighting pleasant fires. Even worse, you will still be
heating a large volume of air in the chimney.
OK - so get an ordinary balloon, inflate it
and stick it in the chimney...BANG! (whoops,
sorry) even if it doesn't burst at once, it will shrivel
up within a day !
That's
why you need the specially engineered,
guaranteed, Chimney Balloon.
It will stay in place for years - and stay
inflated. It will provide 'double glazing' for
your fireplace. You can deflate it (and re-inflate it) any time
you want a fire.
Even if you forget it - and light a fire, it
will just melt, harmlessly. Best of all, it's
cheap and readily available at the click of a button.
