Ordesa Chimney Cap - Flue Outlet with Stone Finish
Ordesa chimney cap: topping the flue outlet with a stone finish
The chimney top is the part of the whole roof that ages worst. It takes rain from above, hot smoke from inside and ice in winter, and when it's finished with a concrete slab cut on site, it ends up cracked, soot-stained and chipped at the edge. The Ordesa range caps the flue with precast pieces in a stone finish available in three tones, Caliza, Champagne and Pirineos, giving a clean, long-lasting finish with not a single cut made on the roof.
✅ Key advantages
- Pillar and cap pieces that work together: the 30 × 30 and 40 × 40 cm footprint pieces, 20 cm tall, stack to wrap the flue, and the 45 × 45 cm cap tops the assembly, overhanging the 40 × 40 cm piece so water falls clear of the brickwork.
- Fast, cut-free installation: the sizes come ready-made from the factory, so there's nothing to set out, cut or trim with an angle grinder up on the roof.
- Three stone finishes: Caliza, light and warm; Champagne, sandy; and Pirineos, greyer. Chosen to match the roof tile and façade color.
- Can be used to build up height: adding courses of the pillar piece raises the chimney mouth using the same cap material, instead of leaving a stretch of unfinished exposed brickwork.
- Concrete with no internal reinforcement: there's no steel inside for acidic smoke condensates or rainwater to corrode. It won't flake from corrosion and needs no maintenance.
- Manageable pieces: between 12 and 16 kg for the pillar pieces, light enough to carry and place without lifting equipment.
🏗️ Recommended applications
- Topping and capping chimneys in single-family homes, terraced houses and country houses.
- Building up chimneys that don't reach the recommended height above the ridge.
- Renovating cracked, stained or poorly finished chimney tops.
- Ventilation and boiler outlets visible from the street.
- New builds where the cap needs to match a stone façade's material language.

🧰 Installation
- Measure the outer section of the flue and choose the pillar piece that wraps it; the 45 × 45 cm cap tops the 40 × 40 cm piece.
- Level the existing top with mortar to get a flat, horizontal surface for the first course.
- Bed the pillar pieces with fine-joint mortar, checking plumb and level on every course.
- Always keep the internal flue section clear: the pieces wrap the duct, they never narrow it.
- Fit the cap centered, with an equal overhang on all four sides, and seal the perimeter joint.
- Remove mortar residue from the visible face before it hardens; on a stone finish it won't come off afterwards.

💡 Professional tip: plan the number of courses on the ground before carrying anything up. Each pillar piece gives 20 cm of height plus the joint thickness, and the final height needs to come out as a multiple of that measurement: if you're half a piece short, there's no clean fix except cutting, and a cut piece breaks the texture right where it shows most. Also check that the mouth sits 1 m above the highest point within a 2 m radius — standard good practice in Spain — and use this cap to gain that height if you're short: it's much cheaper to add two courses now than to come back in a year because the house fills with smoke every time the north wind blows.
Frequently Asked Questions
¿Qué piezas necesito?
Piezas de pilar para envolver el conducto y dar altura, y una tapa para coronar. Se piden por separado porque cada chimenea necesita un número distinto de hiladas.
¿Qué tapa corona qué pilar?
La tapa de 45 x 45 cm remata la pieza de pilar de 40 x 40 cm, volando por los cuatro lados.
¿Por qué tiene que volar la tapa?
Para que el agua de lluvia caiga separada de la fábrica. Si no vuela, el agua resbala por la cara vertical y deja regueros oscuros de hollín por todo el pilar.
¿Se puede recrecer una chimenea corta con estas piezas?
Sí. Cada hilada suma 20 cm, de modo que es la forma habitual de ganar altura sin dejar un tramo de fábrica vista sin rematar.
¿Se estrecha el tiro al colocarlas?
No, y no debe hacerse. Las piezas envuelven el conducto por fuera; la sección interior del tiro tiene que quedar libre.
¿Qué diferencia hay entre Caliza, Champagne y Pirineos?
Solo el tono: Caliza es claro y cálido, Champagne arenoso y Pirineos más grisáceo. Las medidas y el acabado son los mismos.
¿Pide mantenimiento?
No. Al no llevar armadura de acero interior, ni la lluvia ni los condensados del humo tienen hierro que atacar.
¿Cómo calculo cuántas piezas necesito?
Divide la altura que quieres alcanzar entre 20 cm más el grueso de junta. Conviene que salga un número entero de hiladas para no tener que cortar.
