We are not going to use the fireplace for an open fire and would like to
block off the opening. Does anyone have any experience of chimney balloons
as we have heard that these are quite effective?

The internet is strange place indeed!

Well done for lowering the tone of a valuable debate about heat loss through chimney stacks. As someone that works primarily in the building industry (not a web monkey!)finding simple solutions to old problems such as heat loss up flues is useful to everyone. A forum is about sharing information - thats all I did.

Again sorry to be helpful!

Did you notice the date on that discussion? November 13, 2009.
So you didn't just stumble upon a 'debate about heat loss through
chimney stacks', you actively searched for it so that you could add your
spam.
Keep digging, we've seen it all before, hundreds of times.
