Chimney covers
A chimney cover goes on top of the cap (which is usually a screen). The cover serves as an added layer of protection from water, wildlife and escaping sparks.
A chimney cover is by no means an optional accessory to the fireplace. Anyone fireplace owner who wants to keep their family and property safe from devastating fires, should invest in a cover. Multi-flue caps are the best protection you can get.
A multi-flue cap covers the entire chimney, not just one flue. This kind of chimney cover is the best way to protect the fireplace from rain and animals, and the best way to make sure sparks won’t jump out of your chimney and onto your roof where the next step is full-on house fire.
