Ventilation products are required everywhere. These products are manufactured using highest quality raw materials under the supervision of experienced people who closely watch every step involved.

Round Base Model
To cover chimneys, chimney caps are fitted. These covers improve ventilation, help in preventing downward movement of air and do not let precipitation enter the inside area of chimney. These hoods are made from metals and come in various designs. People do not prefer chimney with no cap as sometimes leaves, bats, birds, squirrels etc. enter into the house through the its outlet. However, by using vent caps that come with screen or course mesh home owners can stay tension-free.
In the manufacturing process of this ventilation shaft, stainless steel is used .Metals like copper, aluminum and galvanized steel also act as raw materials for the this purpose. These metals are used to make the covers resistant to rust. Durability of caps is also important. That is why the manufacturers include substances which add to the longevity of this product.
Chimney Cap Adapters
Chimney outlets come in various shapes and require hoods which are perfect for different vent openings. A cap with rectangular base is right for rectangular funnel structure. For multiple outlets, either a hood that covers all of the openings or separately designed for each passage can be used. The lid that fits over all the outlets is called as “crown mounted”. While installing a double vent pipe, an adapter must be used inside it.
There are number of chimney cover models offered to customers, they are:
• The Wind Directional Cap- It provides great air flow as air when passes the hood creates vacuum (fractional/ partial) in the pipe which helps in preventing downdrafts.

• The Universal Cap- It is built for multi-wall chimney duct. Easily cleanable, this type of cover is a choice of customers.
• The Vacuum Cap- It increases updraft and avoids downward flow of air. Available in round/ square base this lid redirects the air in such a way that it helps in the exhaustion of gases and enhances the efficiency of chimney.
