Chimney Damper
Suitable For A Range Of Chimney Shapes & Sizes

The Emerald Planet Chimney Damper is a reusable felt based draught excluder, designed to stop cold draughts and heat loss, reduce outside noise disturbances and stops debris from falling down the chimney flue. In cold climates, the damper is designed to block cold air from entering a chimney and prevents warm air from leaving the home. In warm climates, it prevents hot air from entering and retains cooler air-conditioned air. Available in a range of sizes and shapes, the Chimney Damper is designed to fit a range of chimney flue styles and can be removed and refitted by simply pulling and reinserted via the damper pole.

Installation Guide

The Chimney Damper is designed as an affordable solution to block chimney flues whilst not in use. It is designed to keep out cold chimney draughts and prevent warmer room air from escaping up your chimney.

  • Select the appropriate size Chimney Damper by measuring the depth and width of the nearest narrowest part. Don’t worry if it’s an odd shape, just measure the widest bits and the wool felt will squash in to fit.
  • Remember, it’s easier to fit a large Damper lower down than a small Damper high up.
  • It’s very important that the handle is long enough – firstly because it’s a lot easier to put in, and secondly the end of the handle must show in the fireplace so that no-one inadvertently lights a fire with the Damper in place.
  • Push the wool head into the narrow part of the flue. You may need to tug it down gently to ensure a good fit.
  • When you want to remove it, pull gently in case there is any debris collected on it that has fallen down the chimney. Tap any loose soot into the fireplace, and put it in a bag.

Chimney Damper Maintenance

  • The Chimney Damper will inevitably get sooty and can be kept in a bag or in the log basket/coal bucket when it is not in use.
  • If your chimney is brick or stone on the inside it might start to get a bit frayed around the edges after frequent use. Any stray bits of wool can be trimmed off with a pair of scissors.
  • If it is left in the chimney for a long time it can get a bit squashed looking. This doesn’t really matter as it is taking on the shape of your flue, but you can get it back into shape by taking the clamp section out and reversing it so it squashes in the other direction.
