Dampers

Top-Sealing Dampers

There is a device installed at the top of the chimney in order to seal the flue shut when the fireplace is not in use. Top-sealing dampers are used as replacements for throat dampers, which are installed just above the firebox when a masonry chimney is built.

Also known as energy saving dampers the Lyemance and Lock-Top top-sealing dampers are as much as 90% more efficient than throat dampers because they provide a silicone rubber gasket seal, rather than metal to metal.

Stop leaking hundreds of dollars your up your chimney!

Lyemance and Lock Top Dampers – The Whole Story

  • Many traditional dampers are placed in the “throat” of a fireplace. Those ones are made of cast-iron and are housed in a low-tech frame work.
  • Cast-iron dampers do not seal well due to having problems with being leaky, rough, metal-to-metal seal.
  • Studies have shown that even a new throat damper can leak up to $200 of heating and cooling a year.  Think about how much energy an old, rusted out damper leaks!

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

  • Lyemance’s rubber gasket seals tightly, keeping your heating and cooling dollars where they should be…in your home!
  • Lyemance mounts on top of your chimney so that it can keep out any animals and rain.
  • Lyemance easily operates from inside your firebox and seals tight everytime you close it—eliminating any draft.
