Chimney Sweep Useful Tip:

Chimney Caps and Cowls - The Different Types and Cleaning Them
It is very important to always keep a clean chimney, and that is why chimneys should be inspected and cleaned yearly. Every part of the chimney should be cleaned, and that includes the caps and cowls. However, first, the different types of chimney cowls that are available should be looked at.

The Bird Guard Chimney Cowls
These types of cowls are very popular, if not the most popular by volume. They include a metal lid made of either aluminum or stainless steel, which is surrounded by mesh. These cowls reduce the amount of rain which can enter into the chimney stack, and keep out birds, insects like vermin, and leaves.

The Anti-downdraught Chimney Cowls
These kinds of cowls, the anti-downdraught, perform all the functions provided by the bird guard cowl. However, in addition to that, theyhave been designed in a way that helps prevent the wind from blowing down into the chimney stack. Also, they prevent the smoke that comes out from the fire from blowing into the rooms inside the house. Moreover, the anti-downdraught chimney cowls help in burning the fire in a more efficient way.

The Spinning Chimney Cowls
The spinning chimney cowls are just like the anti-downdraught cowls. However, they add to their function the ability to rotate and spin so that the prevention of the wind blowing down the chimney stack is more efficient. One example of the spinning chimney cowls is the Dragon cowl. This back of the Dragon cowl is always against the wind so that downdraught is prevented. Other spinning chimney cowls that rotate inwindy weather at a high speed achieve the same effect asthe Dragon cowl.

The Disused Chimney Caps
The disused chimney caps are used for chimneys that are not serving any kind of purpose anymore. They cap off the top of the chimney,while still allowing some kind of ventilation so that there is no moisturebuildup in the chimney stack.

Cowls and Caps
Whatever the kind of cowl or cap that is being used, it is highly significant to purchase the right size for the right use for the chimney. Moreover, when doing the yearly inspection and cleaning, the cowls and caps should not be disregarded. They also should be cleaned so that they canserve their purpose properly. In order the clean the cowls or caps, one should safely climb on to the roof and remove the cowls or caps. After that, the cowl or cap should be regarded with attention. All kinds of possible debris should be removed. This should be done at the same time of the yearly chimney clean up. In case there was a problem with the ventilation, although the cowl or cap is of the right size and kind, then it should be cleaned thoroughly. The cowls and caps have a very significant role in keeping the proper and adequate ventilation, and that is why they should not be ignored, instead, they should be cleaned and repaired annually.
