DFC7 See-Thru Single Burner
The DFC7 See-Thru Single Burner delivers clean, balanced flames for two-sided fireplaces. Ideal for modern or traditional see-thru hearths using gas log sets.

Chimneys across the Midwest and Northeast face intense weather shifts—from driving rain and snow to freezing temperatures and strong seasonal winds. The Copper Universal Chimney Cap provides unmatched durability and aesthetic appeal, engineered to handle regional conditions while enhancing your home’s appearance. At Chicagoland Fireplace & Chimney Restoration, we custom-fabricate and install each cap to precise specifications, ensuring a long-lasting, watertight seal that endures through the harshest winters and wettest springs.

The universal configuration allows this copper cap to fit a wide range of chimney types, including both single-flue and multi-flue systems. Its adjustable base and flanged edges secure firmly against the crown, forming a complete barrier against moisture, debris, and pests. Whether installed on brick, stone, or prefabricated metal chimneys, it delivers reliable performance and seamless integration across architectural styles common to homes in the Midwest and Northeast.
Each cap is crafted from solid copper, known for its natural resistance to corrosion and its ability to withstand decades of weather exposure. Unlike painted or galvanized alternatives, copper develops a distinctive patina that deepens in color over time—shifting from bright metallic tones to rich bronze and verdigris hues. This natural aging process adds both character and authenticity while maintaining structural integrity for the life of your chimney.

The cap’s elevated roofline and open-vent design ensure steady airflow while shielding the flue from rain, snow, and high winds. Integrated mesh screens keep out animals and debris without restricting draft, preserving combustion efficiency and preventing blockages. Extended drip edges and sloped panels direct water safely away from the masonry crown, reducing the risk of cracking, freeze-thaw damage, or leaks during seasonal transitions.
Our experienced technicians measure and fabricate each unit for an exact fit, ensuring both functional precision and architectural harmony. Every installation includes reinforced anchoring, sealed fastenings, and post-installation inspection for airflow balance and watertight performance. The result is a copper cap that not only enhances your home’s aesthetic value but also protects your chimney for decades to come—through every Midwest storm and Northeastern winter.
