THE CHIMNEY’S FIRST LINE OF DEFENSE

Why an Uncapped Flue Causes Costly Damage

An uncapped chimney is an open hole straight into your home. A typical 8x13 inch flue allows hundreds of gallons of rainwater and snow melt to pour down the flue annually, eroding mortar joints and rusting fireplace dampers.

In addition to weather intrusion, birds, squirrels, raccoons, and bats seek the warmth of chimneys to nest, introducing parasites and causing dangerous smoke obstructions. Our heavy-duty stainless steel caps provide complete perimeter protection without restricting exhaust draft.

✓ Effective Rain & Snow Shield: Directs driving precipitation away from terra cotta tiles and brick crowns.
✓ Heavy Gauge Animal Barrier: 5/8" or 3/4" stainless wire mesh prevents wildlife entry and nesting.
✓ Air-Tight Top-Sealing Dampers: Replaces leaky iron dampers with silicone gaskets that slash heating bills.

FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS

Chimney Cap & Damper FAQs

Traditional throat dampers are metal plates with metal-on-metal seams that warp and rust, leaving gaps that let conditioned indoor heat escape up the flue continuously. A top-sealing damper seals the very top of the chimney with a tight silicone rubber gasket, keeping the chimney column protected and stopping expensive energy loss.

No. When properly sized according to NFPA 211 standards, the open screen area of the cap exceeds the cross-sectional area of the flue by over 200%. Caps actually improve draft by preventing wind gusts from pushing smoke down the flue.

No. Unlike cheap painted galvanized steel caps that rust and streak red stains down roofs, our quality stainless steel caps are corrosion-resistant and engineered to prevent rust discoloration.
