Windkat cowl for chimney stacks
Choosing the right size Windkat
Windkat is available in a variety of popular sizes to fit most flue pipes, chimney pots and chimney stacks.
Windkat for Chimney Stacks without Pots comes in 6 popular sizes from 125-300mm and is installed by fixing (with screws) to the top of relatively flat chimney stacks (usually of brick or concrete/cement construction in the UK). Simply choose the Windkat size that is equal to or larger than the internal diameter of your flue. The Windkat diameter should be as close as possible to the size of the flue, but never smaller for this configuration. e.g. if your flue at the top has a diameter of 190mm you should choose the Windkat 200mm and not the Windkat 180mm.
We include a tube of heat resistant silicone to seal the fit between the baseplate and the chimney stack.
We can manufacture Windkat to virtually any size by special order.
Choosing Windkat extras if you need them
Wire Mesh for Gas Fires (+ £25)
If the flue to which the Windkat is to be fitted serves a Gas appliance, then by UK law, wire mesh must be added to cover the cowl opening. This optional Extra can only be ordered with the Windkat (not possible to retro fit).
Flexible liner suspending modification (+ 28)
We also offer an optional extra enabling the Windkat to be used as a flexible liner suspending cowl. The size of cowl will then need to be chosen to fit inside the flexible liner rather than the pot.
Choosing a Windkat Colour (£24)
Most customers choose Windkat in its standard stainless steel form, however we can powder coat our products in 3 standard colours (black, terracotta, anthracite) for an additional charge.
We can also manufacture Windkat in virtually any RAL shade and specialist finish by special order.
