A sample of the Reviews for some of our High Temperature Cold Weather Aluminium Flue Pipe Foil Tape in this range

Name: Peter

Excellent product. Very heavy foil, easy to apply and sticks firmly to stove pipe. Due to the weight of the tape, it has no tendency to curl round during application and stick to itself. 5 out of 5.
5 stars

Hi,I'm very pleased with this product,it's been wrapped around the silicone sealed joints on flue pipes for 4 stoves.It firmed up the pipes considerably and the external pipework has been hit with heavy rain and gales after just a few hours but all stuck nicely.A very good product with lots of possible uses.
