Flue caps do a terrific job at arresting sparks. They also protect
your chimney against moisture damage, help to eliminate back draft,
and prevent leaves, animals, and other materials from entering into
the chimney.
In fact, a properly installed flue cap is one of the most effective
ways to maintain the "health" of your chimney. This single investment
pays returns in many areas - which is why we recommend flue caps
so highly.
Installation
Your flue cap will be effective only if it is sized and installed
properly. Make sure your flue cap is installed by an experienced
professional. Otherwise, you risk problems with drafting and moisture
seepage.
The staff at The Irish Sweep are experts in custom flue cap sizing
and installation. Many of our customers request this service - and
all have been satisfied with the results.
We purchase top-of-the-line flue caps directly from our large network
of chimney sweep supply houses. Your options include:
- Stainless steel flue caps: Experience has shown us that stainless
steel flue caps provide the best value over time. We stock our
vans with stainless steel caps, which eliminates the need for
a special order. Your purchase price includes a manufacturer's
lifetime guarantee.
- Copper flue caps: This option is a little bit more expensive
but definitely worth it for those interested in an elegant,
custom look. Prices vary, as do the manufacturer warranties.
All copper caps are a special order item and will arrive in California
in approximately three to four weeks...
