FlueSnug wins big at Northern Ireland Plumbing & Heating Awards

FlueSnug, the revolutionary sealing collar for boiler installations from Talon, has been awarded Heating Product of the Year at Northern Ireland’s Plumbing & Heating Awards. Recognised for its ability to save time, meet building standards and improve installer safety, FlueSnug has become an essential product for the heating industry.

Innovative design

FlueSnug’s innovative design helps keep drafts, damp and pests out of properties, while trapping warm air inside and is the only all-in-one solution that fully complies with updated Part L Building Regulations which now mandate that pipe grommets and collars must be used on all service penetrations to help maintain airtightness around pipes in walls.

Not only is FlueSnug an ideal choice for airtight installations, but it also offers considerable advantages over traditional mortar or silicone; it can be installed in any weather and provides a neat, uniform finish with no mess or residue, both inside and outside the property. FlueSnug also enhances safety by minimising the need for installers to work at height. Its flexible design allows it to be installed from inside the building, reducing the need for ladders or scaffolding on upper storeys – a particularly important feature in an industry where falls from height remain one of the leading causes of workplace injuries and fatalities, according to the HSE.

“We couldn’t be prouder,” says Mike Morris, Marketing Manager at Talon. “Winning Heating Product of the Year shows that the industry understands how vital FlueSnug is in boiler installations, especially as safety standards and regulations become more stringent. Since Talon acquired FlueSnug, we’ve been able to make it more accessible than ever for installers across the UK, with wider distribution, increased merchant support and next-day delivery options. It’s great to see the positive impact this product is having on the industry.”
