In the past 12 years, they have built a solid reputation as a trustworthy supplier and become one of the biggest brands in the field. The M.A.D cowl brand is a trade name of J D Burford Ltd, our family business is involved in a variety of sectors born from our main capabilities of metal spinning, metal forming and metal finishing. To see more details on J D Burford Ltd, please visit www.jdburford.co.uk. At J D Burford/Mad Cowls we regularly speak to customers who need us to specify the correct cowl for them, based on the specific set of facts they provide us with. When doing so, the most important question we ask is, what problem are they trying to solve when fitting the cowl? Often a customer will be under the misapprehension that there is a general purpose cowl for all applications. However, this is not always the case anymore, and although some manufactures still purport to be able to deliver such a cowl we believe that this is no longer the case, and such manufactures are out of touch with modern demands – using old out of date and redundant cowl designs. The aerodynamic design and quality of the twin sealed bearings ensures that the Aderyn cowl responds instantly to any breeze, protecting the chimney at all times. Launched in 2005, the M.A.D (metal anti downdraught) brand of chimney cowls has become the most dominant brand in the UK.

Fitted with a multifuel birdguard which allows the cowl to be used for gas and oil as well as seasoned wood Because the Aderyn cowl faces away from any wind, a low pressure zone is created on the lee side just above the chimney pot. The result is better chimney function, which reduces the chances of tar and creosote formation that can occur in sluggish flues. The MAD cowl is the most popular compact anti downdraught cowl on the British market. The reasons for this are that its compact and aerodynamic shape allows it to combat downdraught. Alongside this, the M.A.D cowl features a drainage system designed to divert rainwater away from the pot when in use, whilst the internal stainless steel birdguard prevents birds leaves and vermin entering the chimney. As with all M.A.D cowls, the quality on offer surpasses that of equivalent inferior models being offered elsewhere. When used with seasoned wood, coal or oil your spinning/revolving chimney cowl will need to removed each year and cleaned. We feel that other brands that do not mention this are misleading customers into thinking that the model they offer will not need this maintenance. All spinning cowls unless used with gas will inevitably suffer debris build up, this debris will need to be removed to ensure the product keeps spinning.Colt Cowls are rightly proud of the quality of chimney cowls they produce, and are the ONLY chimney cowl brand with BSI Kitemarked chimney cowls, and or course where relevant all Colt Chimney Cowls are tested and certified under the new regulation BSEN 16475-7:2016 and BSEN-1856-1:2003. Wind-driven rain normally enters any standard cowl, and this can result in water being funnelled directly down into a stove in the case where a chimney liner is installed, causing rusting or damage to the stove lining. The Aderyn cowl prevents any wind-driven rain entering the chimney, whether in heavy vertical rain or the near horizontal gale-driven showers and squalls that are a common feature of our weather in the UK. Compact design which allows it to be fitted side by side where space between chimney pots is restricted

Explained further– It is our opinion that no spinning/revolving chimney cowl is suitable for use with peat or smokeless fuel without increased levels of annual maintenance, that is why we do not offer a guarantee when these fuels are used. Mentioned within our product bulletin above gives customers an insight into the vast knowledge we possess in the field of metal engineering. Be assured we know the limits of the materials used within this product type; It is our expressed opinion that no spinning/rotating chimney cowl can cope with such acidity levels on a prolonged basis, without failing. If it is your desire to use the spinning cowl with smokeless fuel, all we ask is to be prepared to carry out maintenance at shorter intervals. That said, our spinning cowls are made to the highest standards, and should a customer want to use a MAD Spinner cowl outside our warranted recommendations, then we have spares on hand, to ensure that our spinning cowls can be serviced and/or repaired more frequently. Made from stainless steel, providing a more durable and long lasting Birdguard when corrosive smokeless fuels are burnt. The nuisance caused by birds, small animals and leaves entering the chimney can be resolved by fitting this cowlIn terms of appearance, this cowl is marginally larger than your usual static down draught cowl, which allows it to be far superior to its counterparts in three key areas:- Regardless of which chimney problem you’re struggling with, MAD Cowls offers the most comprehensive range to help you solve it. Fully committed to solving all chimney related issues, MAD Cowls offers technical expertise and industry knowledge that is second to none. This has enabled MAD Cowls to design the most innovative solutions and offer the most aerodynamically shaped products to cement their market dominance. With the emergence of eastern countries as a source of cheap product within the chimney cowl sector, in 2005 it was time for the Burford family using the brand name M.A.D cowls to step from the shadows of other manufacturers, and to market our own range of chimney cowls. As they say the rest is history, since 2005 we have established ourselves as the main player within the field going from strength to strength in terms of our dominant market presence across the UK. The Aderyn cowl is a directional cowl that provides complete dynamic protection to the chimney flue from wind-driven rain and downdraughts. The body of the Aderyn cowl provides a protective shroud rather like a large umbrella, and the pivot point is positioned behind the head which acts as a wind vane that ensures the cowl always faces away from the wind, fully protecting and shielding the chimney pot. The Aderyn cowl provides exceptional dynamic rain protection by shielding the chimney from both vertical rain in still conditions and wind-driven rain glancing in at any angle right down to the near-horizontal experienced in the worst storm-force winds.
