Copper caps that suit the house

Want the chimney top to look like it belongs on a nicer house? Copper caps age to a warm brown, then a soft green, and they last for years without paint. Copper also pairs well with brick and stays attractive for years.

Our specialists fasten copper caps with copper or stainless hardware, because copper in contact with galvanized steel sets up corrosion between the two metals. They also check where water off the cap will run, because copper-laden runoff can stain light brick and roofing below. You'll see the copper option priced next to stainless.

Local Conditions

Tall trees and nearby rooflines

A taller roof section or a big tree close to the chimney on a home in Rochelle can send wind swirling down over the flue, pushing smoke back into the room. Our specialists check the chimney's height against the rooflines around it. A taller or wind-directional cap may help, and if the chimney itself is too short, they'll tell you that instead. Height and cap are weighed together, and each option is priced.

What the code says about spark screens

Wherever a spark arrestor goes on a masonry chimney, the Florida Building Code sets how it's made. The screen openings can't let through a ball bigger than half an inch across, and they can't block one smaller than three eighths of an inch.

That window keeps out most embers without making the mesh so fine it clogs in a few fires. The screen also needs heat and corrosion resistance equal to 19-gage galvanized steel or 24-gage stainless. Our pros fit screens that meet all of it, and they'll tell you if the one on your chimney now doesn't. Older caps can fall outside it.

Caps on flues that vent gas appliances

A flue serving a gas furnace or water heater carries exhaust that has to leave freely. The Brick Industry Association advises checking the maker's data on each cap's effect on gas exhaust, because a poorly chosen cap can restrict it.

Appliance flues get caps made for them, sized so the exhaust isn't slowed, and fine spark mesh stays off where it isn't needed. Our pros also check the flue lining, since an appliance flue has its own requirements. You'll get a separate price for each flue's cap, with the reasons behind the type chosen. Fireplace flues and appliance flues get different cap designs.

Stainless against galvanized steel

Galvanized steel is carbon steel protected by a layer of zinc. The zinc protects the steel until it wears through, and then rust starts, first on the screen and the lid seams, where water sits longest.

Stainless steel doesn't depend on a coating, so a scratch or a worn spot doesn't start a rust patch. It costs more up front and lasts much longer in the weather. Black caps can be painted galvanized or powder-coated stainless, and the difference matters. Our pros tell you exactly which metal a cap is made of, so you know what you're buying and how it will age.

FAQs

Cap questions homeowners bring up

Which metal should I choose?

Galvanized costs least but rusts once its coating wears. Stainless lasts much longer, and copper lasts too and ages to a patina. Our pros price all three and explain how each will look and wear on your roof.

What does the building code say about spark screens?

Florida's building code sets the mesh size, the screen's heat and corrosion resistance, and how much open area the cap needs. Our specialists fit screens that meet all of it and can tell you if yours doesn't. Talk to us about a code-sized screen for your home in Rochelle at (352) 675-6366.
