Types of Chimneys in Westwood
Masonry Chimneys
Masonry chimneys, constructed from brick, stone, or concrete, are traditional and durable. However, they are susceptible to issues like mortar deterioration and spalling. Routine inspections and maintenance are necessary to address these problems and maintain their longevity.
Prefabricated Metal Chimneys
Prefabricated metal chimneys, made from stainless steel or aluminum, are a modern alternative to masonry chimneys. They offer ease of installation and efficiency. Despite their robustness, they still require regular inspections to ensure they remain in good condition.
Factory-Built Chimneys
Factory-built chimneys, also known as prefab chimneys, are assembled off-site and installed at your home. They are designed to be cost-effective and generally require less maintenance than masonry chimneys. However, they still need periodic inspections to ensure they operate correctly.
