Why do I need a chimney cap?
Functionality and protection
When it comes to safety and efficiency, nothing beats a proper and professional chimney cap. Our custom chimney caps are made out of 24-gauge Durapon-coated sheet metal that comes with a 20-year rust, corrosion, and color-fading warranty. These simple yet effective coverings protect the flue from an array of environmental factors.
DEBRIS
A proper chimney cap prevents debris from accumulating in the chimney, which can cause a fire hazard. This is especially important during autumn as leaves and branches fall off trees in preparation for winter.
DETERIORATION
Caps that cover the entire top of your chimney protect against deterioration caused by moisture and rainwater. Both can damage your chimney, the damper, and the firebox. Water can also harm your walls and erode brick over time. These hazards often go unrecognized. Chimney caps can prevent erosion before a great deal of work has to be done to correct the problem.
DRAFTS
Downdrafts can blow cold air into your home, compromising your ability to heat it efficiently. A powerful draft can also blow smoke or ash into your home if your chimney is not properly covered.
ANIMALS
Some creatures, especially birds, are naturally drawn to the warmth emitting from your chimney. When seeking shelter from the elements, other pests like bats, squirrels, and raccoons are likely to take up residence in your chimney if it is not capped.
Which chimney cap do I need?
Chimney Pan – #1 Cap – #2 Cap – T-Top – Aspen Cap – Stevenson Cap – Copper Caps – Custom Caps
Chimney Pans
Chimney Pans are the most basic solution for pre-fabricated chimneys that have piping going up the chimney and require a spark arrestor at the top.
#1 Chimney Caps
These are our most popular chimney caps. The slope above the edges prevents water intrusion and the fully sided screens provide protection from birds and animals.
#2 Chimney Caps
These have the same advantages as a #1 style cap but satisfy a different aesthetic appeal, often suited for a high pitch roof and utilizing standing seams.
T-Tops
A chimney pan with a flat roof to provide more protection from water. These are utilized on the same style chimneys that have metal piping and require a spark arrestor.
Aspen Style Caps
This is our premiere chimney cap. It has everything you want for protection, but with great curb appeal to make your chimney stand out amongst your neighbors without sacrificing longevity.
Stevenson Style Caps
Stevenson style chimney caps are made for prefabricated fireplaces that would support a chimney pan. It consists of a pan with 4 connecting legs and a turtle style top. These caps also require a spark arrestor.
Copper Caps
We can also manufacture any style in copper. These copper caps maintain the functionality of our other materials, whilst boasting a unique lustrous aesthetic.
