A copper chimney cap can be both durable and elegant and can last a lifetime. Copper won’t rust, has a high melting point and will stand up to the elements. Copper chimney caps cost more than other materials but the durability and the look of copper makes it a choice that is well worth the extra cost.
Because copper doesn’t rust you won’t have to worry about rust stains running down your chimney or roof. Copper will develop a thin layer of oxidation called patina but for many people the color and texture of the patina is what makes copper appealing.
A chimney cap will protect your chimney flue from moisture damage and unwanted pests like birds insects and small animals. Fire screens will protect your home from fires ignited by flying embers.
