Clay Chimney Pots, Chimney Pot Covers and Rain Guards
Clay Chimney Pots
Top off your beautiful brick chimney with a decorative chimney pot. These hand made works of art are designed to last a lifetime and add an impressive touch to the exterior of your home. Created from naturally occurring clays and minerals, chimney pots are fired to temperatures of 2000° F to produce a quality vessel that will withstand severe weather. Chimney pots are selected and sized according to the base dimensions. The chimney pot base should fit over the outside of the clay chimney flue liner and attach firmly with mortar to the concrete chimney cap. Sometimes the chimney pot (round based pot on a square chimney flue liner) cannot fully sit on the cap. In such cases it is recommended that the chimney pot base should not impinge upon the interior of the flue (the corners) by not more than ¾”. Chimney pots typically have a smaller top opening than the flue it is covering. If the chimney flue liner and fireplace are sized correctly, the smaller opening of a properly selected chimney pot should not inhibit the draft of the fireplace. In fact, chimney pots can sometimes help increase the draft by adding height and help to eliminate wind effects.
