Do I need a Chimney
Cap?
Yes, you do! According to "The
Homeowner's Guide to Chimneys, Fireplaces and
WoodStoves" there are several very important reasons
why it's essential to have s good Chimney
Cap:
- Keep out rain, snow and
sleet
- Keep out aminals and
birds
- Keep out leaves, twigs and other
debris which could lead to a blockage or chimney
fire
- Keep sparks from leaving the
chimney and igniting nearby combustibles
- Help eliminate wind induced
downdrafts
Are you convinced? "Your
woodstove" manual notes that "although galvanized
steel is "okay" for seldom used fireplaces, however they
will rust and corrode with day-in, day-out use. They
also recommend consulting a sweep professional about
your cap.
We will install any type of cap,
but we recommend stainless steel or copper, because of
better quality and durability. Many of these caps carry
lifetime warranty. Several of the caps we
offer:
Gelco
Stainless Multi-Flue Chimney
Tops Gelco
Stainless SingleFlue Chimney Caps Gelco
Stainless EasyClean Chimney
Caps Gelco
Copper Chimney Caps
We will be happy to install any of
above-mentioned or any other cap for your chimney.
Please email us
for a professional
advice.
Remember: Chimney
without a cap is like a house without a
roof!
