The Details Behind a Well-Fitted Chimney Cap
Our cap specialists measure first and check every anchor, backed by our 100% satisfaction guarantee.
Spark screen openings the Florida code spells out
When a spark arrestor is fitted to a masonry chimney, the mesh limits come from section R1003.9.2 of the Florida Building Code, Residential. The openings must stop a sphere larger than half an inch yet let a sphere smaller than three-eighths of an inch pass, so embers are held back while smoke still moves. The screen metal needs heat and corrosion resistance equal to or better than 19-gage galvanized or 24-gage stainless steel.
That section also wants the net free area to be four or more times the area of the flue outlet, and for a screen or cap that can be removed so the flue can be cleaned. Our specialists check a replacement cap against each of those points before recommending it, which keeps sparks off the roof without starving the fire of draft.
Stock caps and made-to-measure caps
Caps for single flues come in stock sizes that fit common tile dimensions, and adjustable models use sliding brackets to cover a range. Odd tile sizes, several flues or a crown-mounted design can call for a cap made to measure. A stock cap can often go on during the same visit, while a custom cap needs a second trip once it is made.
Our pros tell you which kind your chimney needs after measuring, with the price and the timing for each. A custom cap is quoted only when your flue needs one.
Homes with more than one chimney
Some houses have two chimneys, or one chimney that serves a fireplace and a separate appliance. Each flue top is measured and capped on its own terms, and a cap that suits one may not suit the other.
Our pros look at every chimney on the roof during the visit, so you get one plan and one written estimate for all of them. Doing them together saves a second trip up the ladder and keeps every flue protected at once.
Mesh that keeps animals out on every side
The same mesh that stops embers also keeps birds and squirrels out, as long as it wraps every side and sits tight to the lid and frame. Gaps at the corners, bent mesh or a screen lifted off the crown are how animals get past a cap.
Our pros check every edge of the screen when they fit a cap and again on later visits. The Florida code's opening limits keep the mesh open enough for the flue to breathe, so the screen does its job without choking the fire.
