Sparks
from the chimney are the biggest risk for the owners of thatched
houses. That risk can be greatly reduced with the use of a Spark
Arrester.
The Arrester is manufactured from 0.5mm, 304 grade stainless steel
with a twin wall offset construction of stainless steel mesh which
allows the smoke and flue gases an uninterrupted flow, provides
a deterrent for sparks yet does not block up as would a fine single
wall mesh.
It can be used in conjunction with wood or coal or more corrosive
fuels such as Anthracite.
The Arrester is easily fitted to the chimney pot or liner and is
held in place by a simple adjustable clip. Sweeping is carried out
as normal and the cowl can easily be dismantled for thorough cleaning
if required.
Standard sizes are 200mm and 225mm diameter, although other sizes
can be manufactured upon request.
