What is a Chimney Chase & Chimney Chase Cover?

A chimney chase is essentially a chimney that is made of wood. A chase typically does not have the classic ceramic tile flutes, but does provide for an enclosure for stainless steel flues for fireplaces and other fire-fueled appliances.

Whereas a chimney chase cover is a cover that neatly fits on top of the chase. This is an important aspect for any chimney, since a chimney chase cover helps keep out water, snow, leaves, debris, and animals out of the fireplace and flue. On top of that, they also help to direct smoke and burning embers away from the roof and thus preventing a house fire. All in all, these covers keep the chimney in good working order. These covers can be made of brick, wood, vinyl, or metal siding. But no matter the material, they break down over time. And when they do, you need to turn to a professional for the repair and replacement of the chimney chase cover.

Why Do You Need a Chase Cover?

Chase covers are an external top covering for a pre-fab chimney or a brick chimney. There are several choices of materials when selecting a chase cover, but stainless steel or copper are the best choices for efficiency and safety when running your fireplace. Pre-fab chimneys have a metal covering to prevent water from seeping into the inside of your chimney.

Most chimneys come with an original chase cover that is made from cheap sheet metal and will need to be replaced sooner rather than later after installing your chimney. Noticing rust is the first sign of Chase Cover erosion and one of your service professionals should be called immediately.

Types of Covers on a Chimney Chase

A chimney chase cover comes in various materials with aluminum, stainless steel, galvanized steel, and copper being the most popular options. Let's take a look at the pros and cons for these types of chase covers and how they can impact your chimney and fireplace.

• Stainless Steel: Stainless steel is the most popular option when it comes to the repair and replacement of a chimney chase cover. It is very reliable and holds up great during the harshest of elements. However, on the downside, you pay for what you get. Stainless steel chimney chase covers are on the expensive end. But since it is built to last, it is a worthy investment.
  
  
• Aluminum: When you opt for aluminum for the chimney chase cover, one big benefit is that it will not rust. So it has a longevity to it. However, it is also a softer metal, which means it may not hold up as well against the elements.
  
  
• Copper: Copper is the most high-quality material you can use for the repair and replacement of a chimney chase cover, which also means it is the most expensive option. It holds up great, but it also adds nice aesthetic value which is a bonus.
  
  
• Galvanized Steel: If you are looking to replace your chimney chase cover on a budget or for a short-term fix, then galvanized steel is your option. However, it does rust easily, so you will likely have to replace it sooner than later compared to other options out there.
