Roman Gable Roof Multi Flue Chimney Cap

Available in Copper, Lead Coated Copper, Freedom Gray, Stainless Steel, Kynar Aluminum and Galvalume

Inspired by the Roman architecture, more specifically the Maison Carrée temple seen today in many structures, this chimney cap features a gable roof at a standard 6 pitch. It can be side mounted or top mounted and it features a removable roof for easy cleaning.
A gable roof is a style of roof with 2 slopes that meet forming a ridge and a gable at each end.
Because of its design, this chimney cap allows for even more ventilation, due to the extra screen section at the gable ends.
Copper or aluminum screen (expanded metal) is used to allow for ventilation.
This product is cut by laser to ensure a perfect fitting.
The ridge will feature a seam when needed. Each side of the roof may also need seams depending on the size of your cap and the material chosen.
Vertical supports (screen area) are added as deemed needed by K&M.
For special requirements, custom designs, sizes and different materials, please contact us for pricing.
Made in the USA.

Ordering Instructions
  • A - Please pick the approximate width and length (fields 3 and 4). These fields are used to calculate the price of your chimney cap.
  • B - Please do not place an order for a chimney cap out of square. Instead, contact us for a quote. A template or sketch may be necessary.
    It is also common to order square caps and use shims for installation on out of square chimneys.
  • C - Requests for an specific amount of seams / width of panels can be accommodated via a custom request for quote. Please do not order via this page if you have such requests as we will leave it up to our craftsmen to manufacture the roof as they best see fit. Adding panels will add cost.
  • D - Vertical reinforcements / divisions on the screen are added as deemed necessary by our craftsmen. Please contact us prior to ordering if you have an specific request about this.
  • E - Although installation is considered simple and straight forward, we recommend that it be done by a professional.
Top Mount vs. Side Mount

Mounting: Top Mount vs. Side Mount Chimney Caps

Top Mount: A top mount chimney cap is ideally used on irregular shape chimneys, those with out of square corners or made out of stones for example. It can also be used when a cap smaller than the chimney itself is desired, or simply if its visually preferred, when the vertical side skirt portion present on side mount caps is not a desired feature. Typically, a top mounted cap will be either soldered to an existing chase cover when present, or attached via tapcons, screws, anchors or construction adhesive. If a chase cover is not present, adhesive is the most common way to install a top mounted chimney cap because there is no drilling through the top of the chimney, which is normally not desirable as it is something that would need to be waterproofed.
Side Mount: An outside mount chimney cap features a vertical mounting skirt covering part of the side of the chimney, usually around 3.5". This is the ideal way to mount a chimney cap in most instances, as it covers the whole top of the chimney, protecting it against the weather. Just like a top mount, this can be mounted via screws, masonry pins / anchors or tapcons, however, unlike a top mount cap, this is to be mounted from the side, through the vertical side portion of the chimney cap base which can be easily drilled. It can also be mounted via construction adhesive added to the top of the chimney, although that is not as common.
Side mounting is ideal in most situations if possible.
To see the difference between both when filling out the ordering form in the correct order, look at the changing main image when selecting the mounting type.

Choosing the right material

Chimney Cap Material: Copper, Stainless Steel, Aluminum or Galvalume?

Colored Materials: The first thing to consider is whether something in colors is desired. If so, that narrows choices down to either Kynar Aluminum or Kynar Galvalume (steel). Kynar-based PVDF are coatings formulated to resist sun and weather damage.

  • Galvalume (Colors): Zinc Aluminum coated Steel for higher corrosion resistance, coatted with Kynar colors. Comes in the same colors as aluminum with a more rigid substrate, however, it is also heavier. Galvalume materials have self healing properties where cut or scratched.
    Since this material is steel based, it is not an ideal choice for coastal (saltwater or brackish water) environments. For those, aluminum is the better choice.
  • Aluminum (Colors): Offering the same colors and look as Kynar coated galvalume steel at a lighter weight. Unlike galvalume, this can be used in costal environments.
  • Galvalume Plus (Acrylume): Zinc/Aluminum coated steel with an acrylic coating. Galvalume has a similar look to galvanized steel while being vastly more corrosion resistant. Galvalume materials also have self healing properties where cut or scratched.
  • Copper: Our most popular material. Copper does not rust and has antimicrobial properties. It is widely used in any environment. Copper can can be soldered or welded, which makes it a much better choice for now and future repairs. Copper comes with a raw finish that will start to patina immediately once outdoors, turning partly brown the day after the installation and mostly brown within a month. Although there's no precise way to determine due to many factors, copper will typically start to turn green within 25-35 years.
  • Freedom Gray: This copper based material offers all the same advantages as copper with a tin/zinc coating that will develop a mature slate gray patina after around one to three years of weather exposure.
  • Lead Coated Copper: Copper that has been dipped in lead. A traditional material that offers all the same advantages as copper. Because of the lack of solubility, not only lead coated copper prevents most if not all staining, it's environmentally safe.
  • Stainless steel: A trade off between color choices and sturdiness/longevity. While stainless steel withstands the test of time, it is limited to its mill finish (2B finish) look. The stainless steel we typically offer is a 304 alloy (most common). This alloy should not be used in coastal environments. A 316 marine alloy can be offered as a special order material.
  • Zinc: Special order. A traditional look at the cost of a more malleable, lighter material. While easier to work with, zinc is soft, and not always (depending on size and configuration) the best choice for a chimney cap. It can be offered as a special order in either a raw or other finishes.
