European Style Chimney Cap:The Crown of
Your Home
Every piece is designed to your chimney's exact dimensions, fabricated by hand, and shipped ready to install.
Natural Copper
Fresh from the forge — a warm, luminous rose-gold that commands immediate attention. Over years of outdoor exposure, it develops its own living patina, making each cap a unique record of time.
Aged Copper
Years of character distilled into a single application. A rich, darkened tone evokes heritage and permanence — as though the cap has already earned its place on a storied estate. Depth without artifice.
Patina Copper
The iconic blue-green of centuries past, achieved from day one. This striking verdigris is hand-applied by our craftsmen, referencing the great copper rooftops of Europe while making a bold architectural statement.
Protects your chimney
with style
An improperly protected chimney exposes your home to moisture intrusion, wildlife, and long-term structural wear, details that quietly diminish the integrity and value of a home.
Timeless
materials. Proven performance.
Our solid French curved copper chimney caps are handcrafted by skilled artisans using premium American-sourced materials. Designed for superior performance and timeless appeal, copper develops a rich, natural patina that enhances your roofline year after year.
For homes without compromise
We build for homeowners who expect permanence, precision, and elegance in design. Every cap is carefully fabricated to complement custom architecture, installed once, and trusted for decades, without shortcuts or compromises.

"We contacted Ray Hines at Waterways Sheet Metal Fabrication after seeing one of his beautiful copper chimney shrouds through an internet search. We selected Waterways after reviewing proposals from several other fabricators. We are 100% convinced we made the right decision.
From the very beginning Ray was professional and responsive to all our inquiries. He was highly knowledgeable and his skills as a copper craftsman were quickly self-evident. We were able to confirm all the critical information between Ray and our contractor, which resulted in a beautiful final design.
Waterways completed the fabrication before the promised date and sent us progress pictures
from his shop, which we really appreciated. The shroud was delivered on-time and arrived in a sturdy wood crate that he custom built; not a scratch to be found. It fit perfectly onto our chimney and we couldn't be more pleased. It is now the crowning jewel atop our project.

We decided to replace the original ceramic chimney pots on our French Country home in Ohio with Copper [Chimney Caps]. After an effort to find a qualified local fabricator was unsuccessful, our extensive internet queries led us to Ray Hines at Waterways Sheet Metal in Watts, Oklahoma.
Ray was extremely helpful with completing a design from just photos and basic measurements of the chase, and calculated the opening sizes to insure they would draft properly.
I know the folks at Waterways went to a lot of extra effort to match the patina from a photo we sent them.
Although we never requested them, we received several messages with pics illustrating the fabrication progress and the very important crating. The caps arrived in perfect condition, ahead of schedule, fit perfectly and were beautiful!
We are very glad we chose Waterways. They are a fantastic company!
–Tom Z., Ohio

We are extremely satisfied and happy with our purchase, and highly recommend Waterways!“
