and Reviews About Chimney Cap Retailers.
Black Chimney Caps is
here to help you make an informed decision on
where to buy your next chimney cap.
There are two main
functions for a chimney cap. The first job of a
chimney cap is to allow all the smoke and gases
that are created to escape while at the same
time keeping in any sparks that rise out of the
fireplace. The second job of the chimney cap is
to protect your chimney from unwanted things
entering it, keeping out everything from falling
leaves to rodents.
There is a wide selection of chimney caps
available, so you are sure to find one that is
the right size and style for your home. Make
sure you do enough research when you decide to
purchase a chimney cap. One thing to be aware of
is that you will need the exact measurements of
your chimney if you want it to fit correctly.
Old chimney cap models were constructed of
galvanized steel that would rust and weaken.
Many new caps are constructed out of stainless
steel and many come with lifetime guarantees.
Chimney’s that have more than one flue will
require a specialized multi-flue cap.
It will cost you about $100.00 to have a
contractor install a single flue stainless steel
chimney cap. This is probably also a good time
to have them complete any necessary maintenance
on your chimney.
