TYPES OF CHIMNEY TOPS

A chimney chase cover is a chimney topper that is provided for prefabricated fireplaces that have wood-framed chimney chases. Chimney chase covers seal off chase openings, preventing moisture from getting in your chimney system and causing thousands of dollars of expensive repairs. The covers are similar to a lid on a shoe box with a center opening to allow your flue and termination cap to let smoke and gases escape while sealing the top from moisture getting in.

Chimney caps are a less costly way to protect your chimney from water, debris, and animals. Installing a chimney cap is an important job that can save you headaches later on down the line. The caps usually fit directly onto your flue pipe or clay tile flue, however we also fabricate larger custom chimney caps that cover the entire masonry crown or brickwork at the top of your chimney. Caps are screened with a spark arrestor to block floating embers from landing on your roof. Chimney caps come in a number of different styles, sizes, and finishes, so you can even enhance the look of your chimney while keeping moisture, critters, and debris out!
