If your fireplace was built without a damper, consider a top mount damper. A chain connects to the top assembly and a mounting bracket attaches inside the fireplace for bottom access. Save on heating bills.
NOTE: not to be used on fireplaces serving vented gas appliances or serving wood or gas stoves.
Lyemance Chimney Dampers are the original top mount dampers. Made of high heat aluminum and painted black, they are resistant to rust and warpage.
Keeps out snow, rain, animals and debris. The lid is spring-loaded and defaults to open position. Operated by a stainless steel cable which extends down the inside of the chimney flue and is attached to a hook mounted in the front of the fireplace. Available in 5 sizes. Flue liner dimensions may vary by 1" greater or smaller than the damper dimensions.
Note: These dampers are specifically designed for woodburning fireplace flues and should not be used on flues servicing wood or coal stoves or on fireplaces serving gas logs.
Lyemance chimney damper with cap. Even when the damper is open, birds and animals cannot enter the chimney. The cap portion remains stationery while the damper lid opens and closes from inside the cap. The damper lid is spring-loaded and defaults to open position.
Operated by a stainless steel cable (32' length included) which extends down the inside of the chimney flue and is attached to a hook mounted in the front of the fireplace. Available in 3 sizes. Flue liner dimensions may vary by 1" greater or smaller than the damper dimensions.
Note: These dampers are specifically designed for woodburning fireplace flues and should not be used on flues servicing wood or coal stoves or on fireplaces serving gas logs.
Traditional fireplace dampers leak. They leak a lot. That costs you big money in lost utility dollars going out your chimney.
A Lyemance Top-Sealing Damper will change all that. This well constructed, superbly engineered damper eliminates 90% of the winter heat and summer cooling loss that leaks past your current damper. It also eliminates downdrafts and keeps moisture and animals out of your chimney and home. Moisture in your chimney causes unwelcome odors and leads to deterioration of bricks and mortar.
The Lyemance Top-Sealing Damper works year round to protect your chimney. That's why thousands are installed each year.
Nothing seals like a rubber gasket. That's why we use rubber enhanced silicone for lifetime durability. It makes the Lyemance Top-Sealing Damper seal super tight, just like an old fashioned Mason jar. Traditional throat dampers only give metal to metal contact - notoriously leaky and expensive. Who can afford heated or cooled air going out their chimney?
Your current throat damper was designed for the days when energy was cheap. Back then if you lost some energy here and there, it was no big deal. Today it is a big deal. Energy prices have skyrocketed and are predicted to go even higher. Lyemance solves your problem because it seals like no throat damper can.

A less restrictive top mount damper system. When shut it serves as a damper, when open it serves as a rain cap. Easily removed for chimney cleaning.
The damper lid is spring-loaded and defaults to open position. Operated by a stainless steel cable which extends down the inside of the chimney flue (32' cable included) and is attached to a hook mounted in the fireplace.
Flue liner dimensions may vary by 1" greater or smaller than the damper dimensions.
Note: These dampers are specifically designed for woodburning fireplace flues and should not be used on flues servicing wood or coal stoves or on fireplaces serving gas logs.
This is our personal favorite of all the top mount damper designs shown. It is made of stainless steel, uses a less restrictive spring-loaded horizontal plate that moves up and down vertically to open or shut the flue (rather than pivoting into the flue), and provides a mesh screen to keep birds and critters out of the chimney if the damper is left open.
One reason that these top mount dampers are more effective than a regular bottom mount damper is the silicone gasket seal, providing a more air-tight seal when closed.
Flue liner dimensions may vary by 1" greater or smaller than the base dimensions shown left.
Keep heat and energy in...rain and animals out
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 damper. It leaks. Not a lot mind you, but enough to be costing you over $200 a year in lost energy.
