Masonry Chimney Covers
Masonry Chimney Covers serve as a barrier to keep rain and animals from entering the home, as well as preventing sparks leaving the chimney. These covers come in various sizes and styles. Unfortunately the majority of chimney covers available on the market are made out of low grade steel and aluminium. These covers rust and deteriorate, which can lead to animals and water entering a chimney, sparks exiting a chimney, and causing costly repairs to your chimney and home.

Energy Efficient Chimney Covers
Energy Efficient Chimney Covers are designed to stop air flow through the masonry chimney; a cold downdraft when not in use. These covers have a cable that runs through the chimney and attaches to a bracket that is installed in the firebox. The cover is tightly closed when the fireplace is not in use and fully opened when a fire is to be lite.
Customers typically have these covers installed in chimneys that experience significant cold downdrafts when the chimney is not in use in the winter months. When properly installed and closed, they prevent cold air from entering the space, reducing heating costs and help warm often cold rooms.
Sometimes, when a gas or wood appliance has been previously installed, the damper will be removed to make space for the installation. Installing an Energy Efficient Chimney Cover will ensure that the masonry fireplace has an operating damper that meets building code.
Close Off Covers
When a chimney flue is no longer being used a Stainless Steel close off can be installed. This cover prevents animals and rain from entering the chimney but allows for air exchange, important to the health of your chimney. These close offs come in various sizes, are 100% stainless steel and guaranteed while you own your home.
