Default cold drafts from fireplace

Are you using a fireplace door? -- pj

hello all,
I've got a fireplace that I never use in the 1st floor of a 2-floor
home
that has a flue/damper but
appears to let in lots of cold air. I tried to cover up the flue/damper
with a cap
and then tape it, but the cold air is still coming in.

Is there any way to seal this off properly?

The damper/flue (metal) appears to be closed, but feel lots of air
coming in.

Also, is there a good website that shows how to properly insulate
windows. I've
tried this on a previous home, but noticed air still coming in.

Thanks.
