Chimney Caps/Covers

 

Chimney Covers/Spark Arrestors are required by code in most jurisdictions.  We highly recommend installation of a good chimney cover to help stop sparks from exiting the chimney, and to keep rain and animals out of the flue, which can damage your chimney or home.  A few dollars spent on a chimney cover now will prevent costly repairs later!

We carry regular and custom-made chimney covers.  You may order one online for your chimney.

Standard stainless steel chimney covers fit most flues.  Heavy duty construction, and guaranteed never to rust!


Custom-made
copper outside mount with hip and ridge lid. Other sizes and styles available in copper.

Custom-made stainless steel chimney cover.  Made to fit your chimney exactly.

Every year, throughout America, thousands of fires are started by burning embers that rise up the flue, exit through an uncapped chimney, and land on the roof or yard. The results can be devastating, and even life threatening.

Avoid becoming a statistic. Contain these embers with a professionally installed Gelco Chimney Top. Designed with spark arrestor screens that keep burning embers in, Gelco Chimney Tops give you protection and peace of mind.


Water causes the greatest damage to your chimney of any of the elements. It soaks into porous bricks, eats away at the mortar, hastens the destruction of your chimney liner, and destroys the mortar crown on the top of your chimney. A chimney cap does a great job of protecting your chimney from water damage. For maximum chimney protection we recommend a multi-flue cap. That's because a multi-flue cap covers the entire chimney, not just one flue.

WARNING

Flat screens on top of chimneys are against code and are dangerous.  Clogs can form with nests, leaves, debris, and creosote.  With a fireplace, this can cause smoke backup, with a furnace of hot water heater this can cause Carbon Monoxide backup!
