Spinning Cowl – Terracotta OverviewThe Spinning Cowl – Terracotta is a rotary chimney terminal designed to harness the wind and actively improve up-draught. Finished in a traditional terracotta colour, it blends naturally with clay pots while providing the modern performance of a rotating cowl. Ideal for homes in exposed or coastal locations where downdraught is a recurring issue. Key Features Wind-Driven Turbine Head – rotates freely in the wind to create suction and stabilise the flue. Traditional Terracotta Finish – blends seamlessly with standard red/terracotta chimney pots. Strap-Fix Fitting – supplied with a secure strap-fix kit for quick, reliable installation. Universal Design – suitable for common pot sizes (typically 125 mm–200 mm). Benefits Reduces smoke blow-back and downdraught in windy conditions. Improves combustion efficiency by keeping a steady draught. Offers a discreet, traditional look for listed or character properties. Quick, tool-light installation and easy removal for chimney sweeping. When to Choose the Terracotta Finish If your chimney pot is a standard red/terracotta colour and you want the cowl to blend in visually. If you’re in a high-wind or coastal location needing rotary performance. If you prefer a more traditional look compared with stainless or black cowls. Installation & Maintenance Installation: Simply position over the chimney pot and secure with the strap-fix band. Always ensure free rotation before use. Maintenance: Inspect annually, check that the head spins freely, and clean soot or debris from the vanes. For step-by-step instructions, see our Installation Guide.
