π π π π π 5 star review from Annette Y Taylor: The solution to bedroom To insulating a bedroom fireplace not used , but open flue.
Just moved into a rented cottage with an open fireplace and large draughty flue!
How to seal it off safely was problematic as access was not as easy as it seemed.
However having read the reviews on Chimney sweep, all I can say is that previous customers gave excellent appraisals and I was more than happy to invest in a 500 Gm box, of sheep wool,. β¦.and it has not disappointed. It was so easy to tease out and then stuff into a large nylon material bag approx 60x60 cm but flexible allowing me to push it up into the flue and then secure it there by putting a piece of flexible plywood approx 90 x 30 , which rested on either side of the flue as it opened out from a 50 cm β¦. Perfect fit!β¦.. and virtually draught proof. ,and the sooty grit debris, is no longer falling regularly into the fireplace itself!β¦problem solved!β¦
Thank you βchimney sweep! β The sheep wool is A great product
