Maxi Suspending Cowls in Stock

The Maxi Suspending Cowls, which we originally posted about here, have now arrived into stock and are available to order online in diameters 125mm (5") to 200mm (8"). Select the diameter you require from this link.

If you have 2 chimney stacks, one with a flexible liner (say for a wood burning stove), and the other without a chimney liner, you can now have matching chimney cowls. You would use a Maxi Suspending Cowl (above) for the chimney liner installation and a Maxi Cowl for the other chimney.

Did you know that we can also get any of our chimney cowls (including the revolving chimney cowls) coloured to any RAL colour you require ? If you would like a price, please email the cowl you require and the colour, and we'll get back to you. It usually takes no more than a couple of days to get cowls sprayed.

Retail Ordering Resumed

We are more than pleased to say that our internet service provider has finally resolved the technical issues they were have with our secure space in vault1. We have now resumed taking retail orders through this area.

We will shortly close the temporary ordering area we established in vault2 whilst this investigation was continuing.

We thank you for your patience during what has been a very frustrating few days for us !

Retail Ordering Now Available

Following on from our technical issues reported here, we have now established a separate area for retail customers to order online.

Our retail site is split between 2 areas. The non-secure areas are the home page and product information pages and appear under the url www.fluesystems.com/ . Our ordering and checkout pages are all in secure space under the url https://vault1.secured-url.com/chimney/. It's the secure space where our internet service provider is having technical problems.

So we have now esablished a temporary separate area cointaining our retail ordering and checkout pages at this link:- https://vault2.secured-url.com/chimneys/acatalog/. You can order online securely from this link. Please be aware that during this time, the links from our non-secure (www.fluesystems.com) areas to the ordering area will take you to the non-working vault1 area and not the working vault2 area.

We'll give our internet service provider another day to resolve the technical problems in the vault1 space. If it doesn't happen, we will stay with the vault2 area and rewrite all the links from the non-secure area.

System Status

We apologise for the fact that it is not currently possible for retail customers to order online. Our internet service provider has technical problems with the space where our ordering section sits.

Despite every effort on our part to get them to move more quickly, the issue still remains. We have now been told that it will be resolved some time today. However we have been given promises previously that have not materialised.

In the meatime, we are in the process of setting up a backup ordering system in a different space to allow customers to order, and will post as soon as it's available.

Our trade site and chimney balloon site are functioning normally.

New Chimney Cowls Coming Soon

We had a preview of a couple of new chimney cowls today. They are called Maxi cowls, and will be available in 2 versions as follows:-

Maxi Cowl:- This static anti downdraught cowl has been designed to give ultimate protection from the elements, keeping even driving rain out of the chimney stack. It is anti downdraught and suitable for use with solid fuel and oil fired appliances. It would also be a good choice for disused chimney stacks. It is aluminium in construction and coated in a highly resistant paint finish. It's shown here on the sample in black, but we'll be offering it in a brown finish.

Maxi Suspending Cowl:- Designed for chimney liner installations, the Maxi Suspending Cowl has all the features of the Maxi Cowl with the addition of a stainless steel bottom section which enables the liner to be attached to the cowl and the cowl to be attached to the chimney pot.

There will then be three versions of suspending cowl, so it's a good idea to look at when to use each version:-



The Suspending Cowl:- Unlike many competing products online, our suspending cowl is all stainless steel in construction, and is suitable for most chimney liner installations. Can be used with all solid fuels, including smokeless fuels, and also on installations that are allowed to slumber overnight. Use with 316 and 904 grade chimney liner installations.



The Maxi Suspending Cowl:- Offers excellent anti downdraught properties, and superb protection from driving rain. Stainless steel base section with aluminium top section. Can be use with all solid fuels, including smokeless fuels. Use on exposed installations where rain protection is a priority. Use with 316 and 904 grade chimney liner installations.



Anti Downdraught Suspending Cowl:- The ultimate in suspending cowls. This model offers the best anti downdraught properties and, unlike many competing products online, is all stainless steel in construction. Can be use with all solid fuels, including smokeless fuels, and also on installations that are allowed to slumber overnight. Use with 316 and 904 grade chimney liner installations.

Click here and select the diameter required to order online. We'll post again when the new Maxi cowls are available from stock.
