Each year there are thousands of fires that are began because burning embers surface by the uncapped chimney and land on the roof or yard. Just arranging a flat screen on top of a chimney is really unsafe. This is due to the fact that since the screen is flat debris can pile up on top of it overloading it and backing off the chimney also.

Besides a chimney cover helps protect the chimney from the elements. Water may cause great unknown harm to a chimney by soaking into the bricks and eating away at the mortar, chimney liner, and mortar crown

What to anticipate once selecting a Chimney Cover
• Individual liner or double liner
• Around or square chimney caps
• Anti downdraft chimney cover
• Chimney damper cover
• What type of material is it  made of?  Is it completed by standard stainless steel, custom made copper or something else?
• A multi-flue chimney cover provides the entire chimney to be covered rather then just one flue.
