In a fire
place, chimney caps are most

restricting any sort of foreign materials to get into the shaft, on the roof
top of the smoke shaft. Most of the time, due to the empty space, animals also enter
into the fireplace. The chimney caps are very useful in providing a healthy
environment, and preventing any foreign material to enter. Sometimes, the
clogging of flue is also caused due to some small animals such as birds and
squirrels. In doing so, many times these small animals get stuck up into the
gaps, because of which they die suffering by suffocation. An intolerable odor
inside the house is caused due to their death.
