Chimney Caps and Rain Pans

The Mad Hatter proudly carries and installs custom chimney caps. Our master metal fabricators have over 30 years of experience fabricating custom heavy-gauge galvanized steel or pure copper chimney caps. Over the years, we have accumulated valuable feedback from masons, builders, chimney sweeps, and homeowners, which has resulted in a product that satisfies virtually any need.

 

 

Moisture is a major enemy to any chimney. Over time, it will cause cracks and crumbling in an unprotected chimney top, decaying mortar and hollowing out bricks. Rain falling freely into open flue tiles will descend to the smoke shelf area causing odor in wet weather and often rusting out the damper. To keep the crown and flue dry, our custom made chimney caps are designed to have a minimum of a 4-inch overhang on all sides.

 

Our rain drip lip construction takes extra time to produce but provides superior strength for its weight. The cap is secured to the chimney with steel wire that runs from the cap down to the masonry nails in the solid body of the chimney. This allows the cap to be removed and then secured at any time for cleanings and inspection. All in all, our custom chimney caps add value to your investment by protecting your home and family.
