Modern Chimney Flue Cover — Top Mount | Fits 8×8 to 13×13
Most chimney flue covers are designed to clamp onto the clay flue tile — friction is what holds them in place. Mine mount to the chimney crown with a full-perimeter flat flange that can be set in elastomeric adhesive or fastened through the flange — stainless steel fasteners recommended. The lid removes when you need access to the flue. This version adds louvered sides and a crown detail above, matching the full-size Modern cap profile. If you're looking for a full-size cap in this style, browse the Modern Louvered Chimney Cap → The louvered profile with crown detail reads like a miniature cupola — if you searched "cupola chimney cap" or "blade chimney cap" and want the single-flue top-mount version, this is it.

Fits Standard Flue Sizes
This flue cover is 14×14 at the screen area. Most are 17×17 at the 1½" mounting flange — some footprints are larger depending on configuration. Message me your chimney top size before ordering and I'll confirm fit. Fits outside flue tile dimensions including 8×8, 9×9, 8×13, and 13×13. This is a top-mount cap — it sits on the chimney crown, not clamped to the tile. Screen height is 8" — need taller, message me. Need a 13×17, 17×17, 20×20, or 24×24? These can be made in any size. Contact me for a custom quote.
Designed for masonry chimney crowns. Can also be top-mounted on a chase cover using an EPDM rubber gasket — message me if that's your application.

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.
