Category: Chimney - Topic: Vinyl Siding And Chimney

Vinyl siding has become a popular house covering and the question of covering it with vinyl comes up. Vinyl can cover a chimney, but space allowances must be made based on what you burn in the chimney. Burning wood or oil air space requirements should be addressed by a professional. If gas, there should be a 1-2 air space from combustibles. The space requirements are based on the possibility of heat transfer causing spontaneously combustion. Covering a chimney with vinyl should be done by a professional vinyl contracting company.
