What are the benefits of a rotating chimney cowl?
Chimney pots are devices that ensure maximum safety for building residents. They are installed at the top of the chimney, where they are the last element in the exhaust gas discharge system in the chimney system. In Poland, in some regions, installing covers is even obligatory. This happens in Pomerania and in the mountainous regions in the south of the country, where the winds are much stronger than in other areas of the country. Due to its structure and the possibility of rotation, the chimney cap adjusts depending on the wind direction, thus preventing exhaust gases from being blown into the chimney.
Elimination of the so-called reverse draft is one of the most important advantages of using a rotating chimney cowl. Additionally, they help to strengthen the chimney draft and protect the inside of the chimney against unwanted elements, such as branches, leaves, etc., which could affect the patency. Additionally, the use of a rotating cap allows you to protect the inside of the chimney against moisture - rain and snow, which negatively affect the chimney draft.
A rotating chimney cowl is a practical solution, the installation of which is worth considering to improve the chimney draft, ensure the safety of household members and optimize the heating of the facility.
How to choose the right rotating chimney cowl?
For the chimney cowl to fulfill its role, it must be properly adjusted. The main factor determining the choice is the type of chimney on which it will be mounted, or more precisely - it depends on the type of chimney flues. The material from which they are made must be adapted to the conditions in which the attachment will operate.
Chromium-nickel, acid-resistant or heat-resistant sheets are mainly used for smoke and exhaust ducts. Galvanized sheets are a material that is suitable for ventilation chimneys. Another factor that should be taken into account is the appropriate adjustment of the diameter of the cowl so that it is the same as the diameter of the chimney flue.
When choosing the right products, remember that the safety of people in the building depends on them. For this reason, it is best to choose proven solutions, prepared by well-known manufacturers, with appropriate safety certificates and a guarantee of proper operation.
