The chimney caps also come in 14 different sizes This low-luster, high-temperature chimney caps are sure to give your chimney a nice finished look, not to mention the practical advantages chimney caps offer. Chimney caps not only do a good job of containing ashes and sparks, but they also are effective at keeping out unwelcome animal visitors. Chimney caps virtually guarantee that birds, bats, squirrels, raccoons, and other assorted wildlife will stay out of your chimney and fireplace.

If you want a lifetime workmanship and materials warranty, consider our HomeSaver single flue black galvanized chimney caps.

Both types of chimney caps feature a removable lid for easy chimney cleaning and come with a lifetime warranty. These chimney caps cover the entire chimney crown, and are available in four different heights, ranging from eight to 16 inches.

One model of chimney caps is specifically designed to meet California spark codes. Our California sized chimney caps are made with the small 5/8 inch mesh that comply with those requirements.

For homeowners looking for ways to reduce chimney downdrafts, our flue stretcher chimney caps may be the solution. By increasing the height of your chimney, these chimney caps will also achieve an improved updraft. In chimneys that have two flues, uneven pressure sometimes causes smoke from one flue to be pulled down into another flue. The flue stretcher chimney caps avoid this problem by creating enough of a distance between the openings of the flues to prevent this condition. Available in stainless steel or copper, these specialized chimney caps come in heights of one or two feet.

An alternative to standard chimney caps, which has been proven to prevent downdrafts, is the IPC Vacu-Stack Wind chimney cap. Available in diameters of 3 to 10 inches, these alternative chimney caps can be adapted to fit square and rectangular flues, and come with a lifetime warranty.
