How does a Chimney Sheep® draught excluder work?

A chimney syphons air out of a building ALL THE TIME, not just when the fire is lit. 80 cubic metres of air flow up a chimney per hour. This removes all the lovely expensive centrally heated warm air from a room. The air needs to be replaced so it drags in cold air from around doors, windows, and other leaky parts of the building. This creates the cold air that we feel. If you plug the chimney, you will cut out that syphon effect and drastically cut other cold draughts at the same time.

The Chimney Sheep® is a thick pad of Herdwick felt that lodges in the throat of the chimney just above the fireplace. It needs to be a bit bigger than the opening to hold itself in place. It plugs the gap and stops warm air escaping, plus prevents cold air from sinking down.

The wool is treated with a unique ionic protect plasma which makes it 100% moth proof and aids with the longevity of the Chimney Sheep®. We have customers that have had the same ones for over 10 years.

It is as simple as that! Read more about the stack effect and how a Chimney Sheep® works here.

 

What are the benefits of using a Chimney Sheep® draught excluder?

The list is endless but here are a few of the main benefits:

  • Reduces your energy bills – a Chimney Sheep® stops about 5% of your household heat from escaping, reducing your heating bill by £150 or so. You can estimate how much your home might save in energy costs by using our savings calculator.
  • Reduces your carbon footprint – a Chimney Sheep® makes your heating more efficient, reducing your CO2 output by up to 250kg per year.
  • Reduces wind noise – those horrendous howling winds coming through your chimney can be reduced and sometimes stopped altogether by plugging it with a Chimney Sheep® (you can turn your TV volume back down now…).
  • Stops wildlife and debris falling in – no more surprises in the hearth, a Chimney Sheep® will catch it all and stop your curious cat getting stuck up the chimney too!
  • Works in the summer – a Chimney Sheep® prevents hot air from entering your home and retains air-conditioned air, keeping your house cool in the summer.
  • Reduces air pollution in the home – a Chimney Sheep® reduces the number of air changes in a property so considerably reduces the amount of air pollution that enters the home.

 

Does a Chimney Sheep® REALLY work?

It really does! Don’t take our word for it, here is all the evidence:

  • We are the only chimney draught excluder to have a BBA Agrément Certificate. To achieve this the Chimney Sheep® had to go through numerous laboratory tests, on-site evaluations, quality management checks and product inspections, over several years, passing all the assessments to gain the award. The BBA is a worldwide credible industry body and the certificate means that Chimney Sheep® are recognised by building control, government departments, specifiers, and insurers as meeting the BBA’s standards of quality, safety and reliability. It provides you and them with reassurance of the product’s fitness for purpose.
  • Rigorously tested by BSRIA and the University of Liverpool which showed that a Chimney Sheep® will stop around 5% of household heat from escaping and therefore save users around £96 per year on average (based on the current Energy Price Cap of £1,928), per chimney and up to 250kg of CO2 per year chimney, working to reduce energy bills going into winter.
  • Hailed as one of Grand Designs host, Kevin McCloud’s ‘Green Heroes’.

  • Chimney Sheep® has been featured in the press quite a bit too, from the likes of The Guardian, The Times, Good Housekeeping and Ideal Home.

 

Are Chimney Sheep® sustainably made?

Absolutely. We are really passionate about the environment and sustainability. Everything from our sourcing of wool to our packaging is chosen with the environment in mind and the aim of our reducing our carbon footprint as much as we can. All Chimney Sheep® are made here in our factory in Workington, Cumbria, using Herdwick wool sustainably sourced from farmers around Cumbria. We collect the wool once a year which we call our ‘Operation Wool’ project. We pay the local farmers a fair price for this which is usually more than the market price and helps to support them.

The felt head of a Chimney Sheep® usually lasts about 10 years and is 100% wool which means it is completely biodegradable and compostable. The handles are made with recyclable plastic therefore are extremely durable and designed to last for decades. We have designed them so that when the felt head does wear out, you can just replace it with a new felt head and keep the same handle to reduce waste and the use of excess plastic. When the time comes and you have to say goodbye to your felt head, get in touch with us.

By using a Chimney Sheep® you are doing your bit to reduce your carbon footprint and we are really passionate about helping you to reduce your CO2 output even further. That is why we have set up our very own Community Interest Company, Buy Land Plant Trees, so that with each purchase a proportion of the profits will go towards planting trees on agriculturally poor land.

Nice looking, heavy duty paper towel holder. Looks like it'll be durable. The top did have a couple of dark, tarnished looking spots but it's not too noticeable.

The Best Book on the Creation-Evolution Debate
Format: Paperback
“The book The Evolution of Adam is an accessible study of the hermeneutical issues involved in reading Genesis and Paul on Adam in view of evolution.” - Peter Enns In my opinion The Evolution of Adam by Peter Enns is the best book available on the evolution versus creation debate because it goes right to the heart of the matter. Christians grossly misunderstand the creation stories in Genesis because they read them from a modern point of view. The first part of the book deals with Adam in Genesis. The second part of the book deals with Paul's Adam in Romans. The book is short and very well written for the popular audience. PART 1 ADAM IN GENESIS Many stories in the Old Testament have parallels with other Ancient Near Eastern stories. The Adam story is no different as it has strong similarities to Atrahasis. If I may quote Enns, “Israel's creation story was written to say something about their place in the world and the God they worshiped. To think that the Israelites, alone among all other ancient peoples, were interested in (or capable of) giving some definitive, quasi-scientific, account of human origins is an absurd logic. And to read the story of Adam and Eve as if it were set up to so such a thing is simply wrongheaded. It strains credulity to think that, of all the ancient peoples with origins stories, Israel alone escaped this story-telling mentality and gave us something approximating 'history' or 'science' in the modern sense.” The Evolution of Adam shows conclusively that, “the Adam story in Genesis is part of Israel’s literature of national and religious self-definition, not the origin of humanity.” The Adam story is not concerned with human origins as most Christians assume. Adam is Israel. Israel’s history as a nation can be broken down as follows:   1. Israel is “created” by God at the exodus through a cosmic battle (gods are defeated and the Red Sea is “divided”);   2. The Israelites are given Canaan to inhabit, a lush land flowing with milk and honey;   3. They remain in the land as long as they obey the Mosaic law;   4. They persist in a pattern of disobedience and are exiled to Babylon. Israel’s history parallels Adam’s drama in Genesis:   1. Adam is created in Genesis 2 after the taming of chaos in Genesis 1;   2. Adam is placed in a lush garden;   3. Law (not to eat of the Tree of the Knowledge of Good and Evil) is given as a stipulation for remaining in the garden;   4. Adam and Eve disobey and are exiled. PART 2 PAUL'S ADAM Paul’s use of the Adam story, like Paul’s other uses of the Old Testament, is marked by creativity and the prior conviction that Jesus is God’s unexpected solution to a universal plight. Enns' summary of Paul's Adam in Romans 5:12-21 is as follows: 1. Adam is hardly mentioned in the Old Testament. 2. Some see Noah, Abraham, Moses, and David as “new Adams.” Paul represents Jesus as a new Adam. 3. The Fall of man is not taught in the Old Testament. 4. The Fall of man is not taught in the Garden scene. The imputation of Adam’s sin is not taught in the garden story. 5. The Adam/Jesus Parallel in Romans 5 is both clear and not so clear. What does Paul mean when he says that through Adam’s sin, “death came to all, because all sinned.” One might have expected Paul to say, “because Adam sinned” (death is Adam’s fault). 6. Paul’s Jesus/Adam parallel does not stem from a “plain reading” of Genesis. It is selective and theologically driven. The Book of Romans is not about personal salvation, but about the Jew/Gentile relationship. 7. Paul was an ancient man and he had an ancient view of human origins. 8. Paul used the Old Testament in creative ways that violate the grammatical-historical-contextual approach. So he could be doing the same with Adam. 9. Adam was used creatively in Second Temple Jewish literature (Paul’s contemporaries). CONCLUSION Evolution and creation are not in conflict because the early chapters of Genesis have nothing to do with HOW God created the world or the first humans. Therefore science can be studied freely for what it is and the Old Testament can be understood as ancient Israel's story. If I may quote Enns again, “The root of the conflict over evolution and creation for many Christians is not scientific or even theological, but group identity and fear of losing what it offers. The challenge of evolution is here to stay, and its effect on how Christians read Genesis and Paul must be addressed deliberately.” “Evangelicals tend to focus on how to protect the Bible against the attacks of evolution. The real challenge before them is to reorient their expectation of what the story of Adam and Eve is actually prepared to deliver.” If you are looking to solve the evolution-creation debate in your mind then the Evolution of Adam is the book to read. Evolution and creation are both true. God created through evolution. The Bible is not a modern science book.

Thoughtful book on the purpose of the Creation accounts
Format: Paperback
This book provides a very good introduction into how the Old Testament (Hebrew Bible) was most likely formed. It takes very seriously the environment that may have shaped the Pentateuch. It also provides a good primer into how Paul read the Hebrew Bible: through the lens of the death and resurrection of Jesus. If the reader of the Bible understands the purpose behind the creation narratives then there appears to be less conflict with scientific explanations for the origins of the universe and even humanity. I was expecting this book to do something that Enns never claims he was setting out to do, that is give an alternative understanding of the origins of sin and death while taking Paul's account in Romans 5 seriously. Enns claims that Paul interpreted the Adam story in a way that he interpreted other accounts of the Hebrew Bible, through a Christological lens but with little regard to historical context. To Enns, Paul was a man of his time and just because Paul, a man uninformed by scientific explanations of the universe, understood Adam as a historical person doesn't mean those of us who are informed need to see it the same way. Enns values Paul's Christocentric lens on the Hebrew Bible, but comes just short of calling Paul wrong on his understanding of the origin of sin and death. If you are working through the issue of integration/synthesizing scientific thoughts on the origins of the universe and humanity (as well as trying to come to grips with the purpose of the Creation accounts in Genesis) this book will serve you well. If you are expecting Enns to provide that integration/synthesis for you, you will be disappointed.
