Why You Should Consider a Copper Chimney Cap
Keeping water out of your chimney is one of your most important responsibilities as a homeowner, and the Chimney Safety Institute of America (CSIA) recommends chimney caps as the most economical preventive measure against water penetration 
damage. Without a chimney cap professionally installed at the top of your chimney, your roof has a large opening that allows rainwater to enter your home through the flue. For over 25 years, Atlas Chimney has protected the chimneys of the Austin area from water damage with a variety of professional chimney water penetration preventive services, which includes chimney cap sales and installation services. Chimney caps can be manufactured from different materials, and we are proud to carry high-quality caps made from stainless steel and copper. We would like to tell you more about our copper chimney caps and why you should consider one of these caps to keep water out of your chimney.
Protects Your Chimney for Decades
A chimney cap is constantly exposed to the elements of weather, which is why you need a cap that is made from a material that is tough enough to endure all types of weather conditions. No matter what the weather may be, a copper chimney cap can last for years since it is manufactured from such a durable metal. Because of its resistance to heat, copper can withstand extremely high temperatures both inside and outside the chimney.
Adds Elegance and Style to Your Home’s Exterior
Not only are copper chimney caps durable and long-lasting, but their architectural beauty can also add quite a bit of curb appeal to any home. While you may think that this type of cap requires a lot of maintenance and upkeep to keep up its shiny and polished appearance, copper looks just as beautiful after a patina has developed from the oxidation process as a result of being left alone.

No matter what the size or shape of your chimney may be, Atlas Chimney can customize your copper cap to perfectly protect your flue. Our expert staff is here to show you the many different style options you have to choose from, and we can help you pick the best features to give your chimney the ultimate protection against water penetration and wild animal invasions.
