This multifuel compatibility ensures that no matter your heating method, your chimney remains efficient and protected.

Safety and Compliance

Modern building regulations and high safety standards demand that every chimney component meets rigorous criteria. The MI-FLEX Support Pot Hanging Cowl is built to comply with the latest BSEN standards, ensuring that it delivers both performance and safety. The integrated rain cap and bird guard are particularly useful, safeguarding your chimney from the impact of heavy rain and the intrusion of birds, which can cause blockages or introduce debris into the flue system.

It is important that your chimney pot is in sound condition and capable of supporting the cowl. The innovative design of this product means that there is no necessity to remove the existing chimney pot, saving both time and labour costs. Remember: Always engage a HETAS registered professional to conduct routine inspections and sweeping of your chimney at least twice a year. This not only prolongs the life of your chimney but also upholds safety standards mandated by Building Regulations.

Maintenance Tips

Regular maintenance is key to ensuring the continued efficiency of your chimney system. Here are a few tips to keep your appliance in optimum condition:
- Schedule professional chimney sweeps at recommended intervals.
