Standing Seam Roof Chimney Cap / Shroud
Product SKU :
Straight Standing Seam Roof Chimney Cap / Chimney Shroud
Available in Copper, Lead Coated Copper, Freedom Gray, Stainless Steel, Kynar Aluminum and Galvalume
This standing seam roof panel chimney cap can be produced with a removable roof or without one (as a shroud) to simply hide flue vents.
It is a modified straight panel version of our
Concave Roof Chimney Cap.
Its multi flue design allows for installation on larger multi-function chimneys as well as small ones. The expanded screen allows for ventilation while protecting the chimney from small animals.
The top of the curved metal roof portion is removable via nuts and bolts for easy cleaning.
All of our chimney caps are laser cut to ensure a perfect fitting.
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.

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.

Choosing the right material
Chimney Cap Material: Copper, Stainless Steel, Aluminum or Galvalume (Steel)?
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.
