Q: Are chimney crowns the same thing as a chimney caps?

• <div><p>No, a chimney crown is not the same as a chimney cap. A chimney crown is a flat cement area on top of a masonry chimney.

It is usually made of metal and allows smoke to escape without letting in rainwater.</p></div>

Q: Can I use a flat TPO roof for a recreation area?

• <div><p>You can enjoy your TPO roof by making it into a rooftop deck. However, homeowners should use caution when hosting events on the roof. Specifically, no one should ever smoke a cigarette on a TPO roof, as they could burn holes in the roofing material and cause leaks. Also, it can be slippery. Homeowners can buy no-slip walk pads to keep people safe on the roof. You can also install a &quot;floating deck&quot; over the top of the TPO, but your roofer has to be sure to never put any fasteners through the TPO.</p></div>
