I have a 'decorative' fireplace in my upstairs bedroom, that although beautiful, leaks air like an open window. I call it decorative because it's not meant to give off heat, as it has windows all around it, none of which are sealed, and does not have a flue (see pic below).
I would like to seal it up now that winter is coming, but cannot find anything that will do the job. I have seen those balloons that you place in the chimney and inflate, but there is a top cover on the inside of the fireplace that prevents direct access to the pipework.
I am imagining some kind of material that almost looks like a hot water tank cover that I can wrap around the glass and tie/brace in place. Does anyone have any recommendations? It would be nice if it was an easy off easy on solution.
Thanks in advance,
