Custom Chimney Shroud | Decorative Chimney Surround | Copper, Kynar & Galvalume | Archaic Metal
$1,850.00
Select your approximate chimney width, then your approximate chimney length. Your cap will be custom fabricated to your exact dimensions.
Shipping
Because copper is a premium material, we don't trust cardboard. Every Archaic Metal cap is secured inside a custom-built, heat-treated wood crate. This prevents dents and 'fret marks' during transit. Your order is fully insured and shipped via heavy-duty freight to ensure it arrives in 'New Penny' condition.
Please note: Large caps ship via LTL Freight. If your property cannot accommodate a full-sized 18-wheeler, please let us know so we can arrange a terminal pickup or a smaller delivery truck.
A chimney shroud is a decorative curtain wall built around the top of your chimney — no lid, no spark screen. Just a clean architectural enclosure that hides exposed pipes, ugly repairs, or a plain masonry top and replaces it with something that actually looks like it belongs on the house.
I build these to your exact chimney dimensions in my Berlin, NJ shop using the same materials and techniques I use for every piece — standing seam panel construction, copper rivets with solid brass mandrels, tight hemmed edges. Every shroud is custom. No stock sizes, no shortcuts.
Available in 16oz copper, Kynar aluminum, or Galvalume. Curved panel, flat panel, tapered, or multi-tier profiles available — if you have a design in mind, send me a photo or sketch and I'll work from it.

"Amazing quality. The custom chimney cap exceeded my expectations!!" — Jerry Meehan, verified buyer
What I Build
Side mount skirt with drip edge that wraps the outside of the chimney top. Open bottom construction — ventilated, no lid. Standing seam panel detail in curved or flat profile. Any size, any chimney type. Ships anywhere in the USA.
How to Order
Call or message me with your chimney dimensions — outside length, width, and the height you're looking for. A photo of your chimney top is always helpful. I'll confirm the design, quote shipping to your zip code, and send an invoice once I've confirmed everything.
Please contact me before purchasing — every shroud is custom and I need to confirm dimensions, design, and shipping before fabrication starts.
Call or text: (609) 352-9840
You can also submit your dimensions and photos directly using my custom order request form.
Lead Time
Most orders ship within 3–4 weeks. Rush timelines considered — call or message with your needs.
I've been fabricating architectural sheet metal in New Jersey since 1994. Every piece built by hand, one at a time.

Measuring & Ordering
Measure the outside of your chimney at the top — length and width at the crown or chase cover surface. Width is always the shorter dimension.
For side mount caps, add a minimum of ¼″ to each dimension before ordering — the drip edge shelf must clear the chimney sides. For top mount caps, measure the exact footprint.
If your chimney is out of square by more than ¾″–1″, contact me before ordering — a template may be needed. All caps are custom fabricated to your dimensions. No returns on custom orders.
Top Mount vs. Side Mount
Side Mount (recommended): The drip edge shelf sits on the chimney crown or chase top and wraps the sides. Fastened through the drip edge face into the chimney — screws, masonry pins, tapcons, or anchors. Construction adhesive optional under shelf in thick 4″ beads every 4–6″ — never a continuous bead. Covers the full chimney top.
Top Mount: The flange sits flat on the crown or chase top. Fastened through the flange — tapcons, screws, anchors, or construction adhesive. Any fastener penetrations through the top surface must be waterproofed.

Installation
Installation is straightforward but I recommend a roofing contractor or chimney professional for any work at height.
Hardware included or available on request: copper-clad rubber grommet screws for copper caps; color-match rubber grommet screws for Kynar, Galvalume, and stainless caps. EPDM rubber gasket pieces available on request for top mount applications.
All lids require a screwdriver to remove. See the full installation guide: Chimney Cap Installation Tips →
Shipping & Lead Time
Lead time is typically 3–4 weeks from order. Caps ship via LTL freight (ABF) in a custom wooden crate.
Residential delivery includes curbside liftgate service — make sure your address can accommodate a tractor trailer.
Commercial addresses are typically less expensive, especially with a loading dock or forklift on-site. Terminal pickup is also available and less expensive than door delivery.
Freight quotes require your delivery address and property type — call or text (609) 352-9840.
