Originally Published as: Metal ‘Slate’ Evokes Feeling of French Countryside: Custom Chimney Treatment Keeps Vultures at Bay
The homeowners wanted a metal roof but did not like the aesthetic of standing seam. Green Knight® proposed the Vic West True Nature North Ridge Slate due to the “French Country Home” appearance of their residence. The homeowners loved the idea and decided to move forward.
In addition to the Slate metal roof, the homeowners wanted the chimney wrapped and covered to match so that they would never have to maintain the chimney again, and to keep the vultures from roosting on top. The Green Knight® team fabricated and installed custom chimney wrap and a spiked chimney cap.
