All About Lock-Top Chimney Dampers

Do you know energy dollars are escaping out of your chimney?

See why most dampers perform poorly and cost you money.

Cast-iron plate and frame do not seal tightly, allowing energy dollars to escape.

• Traditional chimney dampers are located in the "throat" of a fireplace. They are made of cast-iron and are housed in a low-tech frame work.
• These cast-iron dampers do not seal well- they have a leaky, rough, metal-to-metal seal.
• Recent lab studies have shown that even a new throat damper can leak up to $200 of heating and cooling a year. Imagine how much energy an old, rusted out damper leaks!

The Lock-Top Energy-Saving Damper seals tightly to save you money.

If it's not the cold drafts on your feet, it's the high energy bills in your mailbox.

You've got a fireplace problem you probably don't know about. It's your chimney damper. It leaks. Not a lot mind you, but enough to be costing you over $200 a year in lost energy.

The Lock-Top Damper seals tight with a silicone rubber gasket
