Non-metal chimney caps

Recommended Posts

We need to put something on the top of three chimneys to keep out the rain.  Two of the chimneys each have two flues.  Since ours is a rather old house with a tile roof, we would like to find chimney caps of terre cuite to be more harmonious with the roof.  Are these still made?  If so, does anyone know where we could buy them.  Do they have a special name?  Searching chapeau pare pluie, I only turn up caps made of aluminum or stainless steel.

Thanks.

Hi Tenniswitch

I got one of the terre cuite type at Point P they have branches I think it was quite expensive but looks the part it come in two parts with a cowl to stop rain going directly down the chimney.

I've seen loads of old terracotta chimney cowls in building material reclamation yards:  "materiaux anciens" in Pages Jaunes if you don't know of any.  Good for old terracotta tiles too.  But depends if these particular items are common on old buildings in your area.
