Windkat Cowl for Chimney Pots

Colour
Regular price £190.80

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 Pots comes in 6 popular sizes from 125-296mm and is installed by slotting into the top of the pot. Simply choose the Windkat size that is 1mm to 10mm smaller than the internal diameter of your pot, thereby ensuring a snug and secure fit. We include a tube of heat resistant silicone to seal the fit. 

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.
