Original and best Our Chimney Balloon is the original inflatable draught excluder for chimneys, and now it’s even tougher! It’s still the most effective and safest option out there, keeping your home cosy and draft-free. Make your home more energy efficient The nifty device sits inside a chimney to stop warm air from escaping up a chimney and cold air from getting in. Removable and easy to use The removable chimney draught excluder simply needs placing in the chimney, inflating and hey presto! Energy savings galore! Benefits of a Chimney Balloon Saves energy by stopping warm air escaping through your chimney Reduces energy bills by an average of 4% Reduces CO2 output Stops wildlife and debris falling through the chimney Reduces wind noise down a chimney How does a Chimney Balloon work? Works like double glazed windows! Putting a Chimney Balloon in your open chimney is like giving it the benefits of double glazing. The balloon inflates to snugly fit against all four walls, holding itself firmly in place. There's a tiny vent on the side that lets a little air flow through, so your chimney can "breathe" while still being a great draught stopper and preventing any dampness. Stops warm air escaping from your home! The balloon's clever double-walled design lets it puff up like a cozy pillow, snugly sealing off the chimney. With its top and bottom layers creating a double barrier, the balloon traps air inside, acting as insulation. This means cold air can't sneak down the chimney, and warm air stays put, not drifting away. Enjoy a warmer home! Once you install a Chimney Balloon, it doesn't just stop warm air from escaping up the chimney—it also prevents cold drafts from sneaking in through other places like gaps in doors and windows. So, when you turn on the heating, it stays inside, warming your home more effectively instead of slipping away through the chimney. You might even find you can turn the heating down a notch! Our Chimney Balloons vs others on the markets 100% safe – The Chimney Balloon is the safest inflatable chimney draught excluder on the market. Each balloon comes with a ‘Remember to Remove’ tag to remind you to take it out before you light a fire. PVC free – our balloon is the only one the market that is PVC free. When heated PVC emits harmful quantities of dioxins which are highly toxic to humans. Available in four different sizes – Don’t waste your money on those one-size-fits-all Chimney Balloons—chimney sizes vary a lot, and one size definitely doesn’t fit all! You’ll end up with gaps and pesky drafts. We offer four different sizes so you can find the perfect fit for your chimney and keep those drafts out. Made in the UK – all our Chimney Balloons are made in Watford. The workshop has made hundreds of thousands of successful Chimney Balloons that have been exported all over the world. A quality product – Every detail, from the materials to the double-layer design, ensures the Chimney Balloon works effectively and lasts for years. How do I fit my Chimney Balloon? 1. Inflate a little 2. Locate it in position 3. Continue to inflate until it holds itself in place. 4. You can use the mouth inflation tube or a foot pump to do this (although a foot pump makes life a lot easier). 5. If you used the mouth inflation tube, the balloon might shrink a bit as it cools. Just add a bit more air to fill it out again! 6. Hang the “Remember to Remove” notice somewhere where it’s visible 7 If you're installing the Chimney Balloon in a windy spot with a strong updraft, it's smart to tie it to the grate with a piece of string. That way, it won't get whisked up the chimney! ## Features - Warning:Not to be used in traffic. - Some chimneys narrow to a gap a firm wool pad can't reach, then open into a wider flue behind it. The Chimney Balloon inflates to fill that awkward shape and seal the draught where a rigid pad won't sit. - Push it up the flue, inflate it through the mouth tube or pump, and it seals the gap in under a minute. No tools, no fixings, nothing screwed into the brick. When you want a fire, deflate it and lift it out in seconds. - Measure the opening first, the right size is what seals it and the wrong size is the usual return. This size fits the openings listed, and the Large suits smooth-sided brick flues that a felt pad slides down. - It holds by inflation alone and comes straight back out, so it goes up each autumn and down each spring, year after year. Pop the reminder card in the grate so nobody lights a fire underneath it. - The original inflatable chimney draught excluder, invented in 1989 and still made in a Watford workshop by adults with disabilities from UK parts.

The Chimney Balloon is designed to create a seal similar to that of double glazing - once the balloon is inflated it moulds to the chimney creating that perfect fit. Because the Chimney Balloon seals off the chimney it will catch pieces of falling dust and debris. In the event that the pieces of debris are particularly large or sharp there may be a very small risk of damage to the balloon - here I would advise exploring the option of a Chimney Sheep as they wouldn't be damaged by the sharp larger pieces and perhaps getting professional advice just to double check there isn't damage to the chimney causing the falling debris. I hope this helps, Kind Regards, Taylor **Q: The listing says its made from pvc, yet is safer than pvc versions. please can you clarify?** A: Good morning. The Chimney Balloon is actually PVC free, I think that has just be an error when we've listed the product. **Q: You give the measurements in the listing but how do I.measure my chimny? Is it the chimney breast? Thank you** A: Hello, When it comes to measuring your chimney we always advise trying to locate the narrowest point that's within reach. This might be an area quite close to the bottom of the fireplace or it might be an area that is a little bit further up the chimney. Some Chimneys stay the same the whole way up to the roof while others taper and narrow - some are completely random ! I would use a torch to look up the chimney to locate the narrowest point. Once this has been located using a tape measure either - if the flue is circular measure the diameter. Or if the flue is vaguely oblong measure the width of the chimney ( side to side) and the depth of the chimney ( front to back ) If you do have any trouble with measuring you're absolutely welcome to give us a call directly and one of our lovely team will talk you through it on the phone. I hope this helps, Kind Regards, Taylor **Q: Hi. Is this balloon suitable for 16 inch fireplaces Thank You.** A: It depends on you flue size and shape. It fits mine but if anything it is a bit to large and I would try a smaller size next time. ## Frequently Bought Together - 14 x 24 inch Chimney Balloon Chimney Draught Excluder + FREE mouth inflation tube - NEW IMPROVED DESIGN, Made in the UK - 14 x 38 inch Chimney Balloon Chimney Draught Excluder + FREE mouth inflation tube - NEW AND IMPROVED Made in the UK - 15 x 9 inch Chimney Balloon Chimney Draught Excluder + FREE mouth inflation tube - Original and Best, Made in the UK NEW AND IMPROVED! --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.es/products/61455356-chimney-balloon-medium-14-x-24-inch-inflatable-draught-excluder](https://www.desertcart.es/products/61455356-chimney-balloon-medium-14-x-24-inch-inflatable-draught-excluder) --- *Product available on Desertcart Spain* *Store origin: ES* *Last updated: 2026-09-06*
