Chimney Caps
If your house has a chimney without a cap, you are unnecessarily exposing your home to many inconveniences and hazards. A chimney without a cap:
*invites nesting birds and animals to make your home their home.
*allows rain and snow to enter your chimney, which leads to moisture damage and expensive repairs.
*creates a fire hazard as burning embers and sparks escape through the open chimney and land on your roof or in your yard.
Why take chances? Invest in a chimney cap from American Chimney Sweeps and protect your home.
American Chimney Sweeps is proud to offer a number of types of chimney caps, including the standard chimney cap. Standard chimney caps are made from a number of materials including steel, stainless steel, copper, or aluminum. The most popular styles are stainless steel and black painted steel. Most chimney cap models feature side screening that keep out most birds and other small animals out of the chimney, and, more importantly, they also keep larger sparks from exiting the chimney and putting your entire house in danger! According to wind tunnel studies, standard chimney caps have good properties for increasing draft in windy situations. In fact, a standard chimney cap can often function as well, if not better then, certain models marketed as “draft increasing.” Whether you use gas fireplace logs or a standard fireplace, you can use a cap.
American Chimney Sweeps also offers the Lock-Top Damper for homes needing a chimney cap. The Lock-Top Damper makes a super-tight seal with its silicone rubber gasket. This tight seal can reduce heat loss 90 percent more effectively than new traditional throat dampers. They are easy to use and come with a chimney fire safety device that locks the chimney cap damper open in case of a chimney fire. These dampers have a lifetime warranty.
