Style #1 Chimney Cap
Style #1 chimney cap is made for masonry chimney crowns including stone castable chimney crowns. The chimney crown must be made from mortar or stone for a terra cotta, brick lined, or castable chimney flue. The key here is the crown must seal to the flue. Metal pipe flues do not seal to castables and mortar. The chimney with or without a chimney cap will leak if a metal flue pipe is not metal on metal.
Why the Style #1 Chimney Cap
The #1 chimney cap is the best chimney cap for any masonry flue chimney and masonry crown chimney because…
- Prevents damaging moisture from entering the chimney flue
- Eliminates birds and critters from entering the chimney
- Protects the chimney crown from sun and moisture damage
- Lifetime warranty for craftsmanship
- Best custom chimney cap for its price on the market, guaranteed
- Attractive appearance
- Customizable to fit any chimney top
Style #2 Chimney Cap
This cap is similar to Style #1 Chimney Cap by making usage of masonry chimney crowns and stone castable chimney crowns. However it can be installed over top of a chimney chase cover if the spark arrestor fits inside the lid.

Why Buy a Master Cap?
Moisture creates expansion and contraction of the chimney resulting in major repairs and fire hazards. Water penetration allows moisture to soak into the bricks, mortar joints, and the flue. Master Caps cover the first row of brick and the entire mortar crown protecting from water and sun damage. They prevent brick spalling (face detachment), mortar cracking, and flue seperation. A chimney can be almost completely damage resistant with complete coverage from a Master Cap.

Why Should I Care About My Chimney?
A chimney that has not been maintained can turn into a financial nightmare. A chimney cap reduces, or in some cases, completely eliminate repair costs from water and sun damage. Protect your chimney now before the inevitable nightmares begin.
Lets face it, don’t become a water cooler story for all of us chimney professionals.

What Kind of Benefits Can I Expect From a Chimney Cap?
A good strong chimney cap can keep any birds, raccoons, squirrels, and other woodland critters from invading your home and chimney. Birds and squirrels nesting in the chimney leave behind debris that can also be a fire hazard. Not to mention the unpleasant odors and diseases that will occur from the dead animal carcasses dying inside the chimney! Think of a 40 pound raccoon dead in your house for a week?
The inital cost of a good Master Cap saves you all the clean up and $$$ of a wildlife removal service!

Why Should I Install a Chimney Cap?
Upgrades on your house appraisal! Home improvements means home values goes up. Think about this: If you were at a car lot and the salesman told you for $500-$800 we could upgrade your appearance of your car and double the value, you wouldn’t even think about it. You would do it. Now apply that same logic to your house.
Appearance! Just simply makes your house look better.
