Chimney cowls serve several important purposes. Chimney caps can help to reduce the risk of wildlife entering the chimney itself, while chimney pots with covers also protect against water ingress during rainfall. Terracotta chimney cowls date back to the Georgian era to increase the height of chimney stacks, improving combustion in wood and coal fireplaces, and reducing the presence of fumes and soot in the home. Nowadays, chimney pots are used for the same benefits, and are often used for gas fires, and even in properties where the fireplace has been removed but the chimney remains.
