Fireplace Installation Planned From the Ground Up
Our specialists use the listed chimney system for your fireplace, backed by our 100% satisfaction guarantee.
Framing the enclosure and the chase
A factory-built fireplace sits in a framed enclosure, and its chimney runs up through the house or up an outside wall. DuraTech instructions call for interior chimneys to be enclosed where they pass through closets, storage areas or living space, and for a chimney mounted on an outside wall to be enclosed in a chase.
The enclosure keeps people, stored items and furniture away from the pipe and holds the required spacing. Our team plans the framing, the chase and its finish to match your house in Apollo Beach, and the estimate shows who builds each part.
The cap on top and decorative shrouds
The top of a factory-built chimney ends in a termination cap listed for that system. Some homeowners want a decorative shroud to hide the metal. Section R1005.2 of the Florida residential code allows a shroud only where it is listed and labeled for use with that specific chimney system.
An unlisted box built around the top can trap heat and change how the chimney draws. Our team shows you the listed cap and any shroud options the manufacturer offers, so the top of your chimney in Apollo Beach looks finished and still meets its listing.
A masonry fireplace starts below the floor
A site-built masonry fireplace is heavy, and it needs a foundation of its own. Section R1001.2 of the Florida residential code calls for a footing at least 12 inches thick, made of concrete or solid masonry, that reaches at least 6 inches past the face of the fireplace or foundation wall on every side.
On an existing house, that often means opening the floor or the ground outside the wall. Our pros look at the footing first when you ask about a masonry fireplace in Apollo Beach, because it shapes the schedule, the disruption and the price long before the firebox takes shape.
Mantels, trim and the surround
Heat from the fire reaches the wall around it. For a factory-built unit, the installation manual sets how close a combustible mantel and trim may sit to the opening and how far they may project. For a masonry fireplace, the clearance rules in section R1001.11 of the Florida residential code govern the wood around it.
Our pros check your chosen mantel height and trim against those limits before anything is fixed to the wall. Stone, tile and other noncombustible surrounds give more freedom, and we talk through the options that suit your room.
