Why install a chimney cap instead of building one?

In most homes, chimney caps are often built on flue terminals, referred to as chimney pots.

These chimney pots serve various functions and can address different issues.

Common problems with chimneys that one hopes to solve with a chimney pot include water leaks during rain and strong winds, birds entering the chimney from the roof, or purely for aesthetic reasons.

The most commonly used traditional chimney pots are brick or steel. However, despite the construction of these chimney pots, which can sometimes be very costly, there is no guarantee of solving the above-mentioned problems. Traditional chimney pots do not address the issue of smoke and poor chimney draft.

If a chimney is smoking due to strong external winds, curved flue pipes, or other reasons, a traditional chimney pot does not solve this problem.

The solution to resolving chimney smoke issues is to install an electric chimney fan, also known as an aspirating chimney pot, on the roof at the chimney outlet.

Gemi Elettronica offers various models of electric chimney fans with different features such as suction power, heat resistance, warranty years, and construction materials.

Gemi Elettronica aims to meet any need and can provide a dual solution: an electric chimney fan within a chimney pot.

The chimney pot offered by Gemi Elettronica is different from traditional masonry or steel chimney pots as it is made of refractory clay. This material is ideal for flues as it is not only resistant to weather elements but also to heat.

This solution provides a double advantage: aesthetic appeal with a modern chimney pot and functional resolution of the smoke issue with the electric chimney fan.

Moreover, the electric chimney fan features a steel mesh bird guard and its structure prevents water leaks.

The clay chimney pot from Gemi Elettronica requires no adhesive for installation and is characterized by a top-opening system that allows easy removal and disassembly for maintenance purposes.

Gemi Elettronica can address any aesthetic or practical need related to chimney issues.
