Fireplace Installation Planned From the Ground Up
Our specialists use the listed chimney system for your fireplace, backed by our 100% satisfaction guarantee.
How high the chimney stands above the roof
A wood fireplace chimney has to clear the roof by enough to draw well and keep sparks away from the roofing. Florida's residential code sets the rule for masonry chimneys in section R1003.9, and factory-built chimney instructions such as DuraTech's quote the same rule from NFPA 211. Under that rule, the chimney needs a 3-foot rise above its own roof opening, plus 2 feet of height over any portion of the building that is 10 feet away or closer.
Next to a taller wing or on a steep roof, that can mean more chimney than people expect. Our pros measure it on site in Cheval and show you the finished height before work starts.
The hearth extension for a factory-built unit
The floor in front of a wood fireplace needs protection from sparks and rolling embers. For factory-built units, section R1004.2 of the Florida residential code has the hearth extension installed as the fireplace listing directs, and it must be easy to tell apart from the floor around it. A listed hearth extension must comply with UL 1618.
The fireplace manual gives the size and the material for that extension. Our pros build it to those numbers and help you pick a finish that suits your floor in Cheval while still reading clearly as the hearth.
The damper in a masonry fireplace
A masonry fireplace needs a damper to close the flue between fires. Section R1001.7.1 of the Florida residential code wants that damper made of ferrous metal, set no lower than 8 inches above the top of the fireplace opening and worked from the same room as the fireplace.
A damper that is easy to reach and easy to work gets used, which keeps cooled indoor air in the house between fires. Our team fits it as part of the build and shows you how to open it before lighting a fire and when to close it once the fire is completely out.
Concealed parts checked before the walls close
Much of what makes a fireplace installation safe ends up hidden. The firestops, the attic shield, the air space around the pipe and the supports all sit behind drywall and above ceilings once the job is finished.
Our pros leave those parts open until they have been checked, by our team and by the building inspector where an inspection is required. Only then are the walls closed and finished. Anything that needs adjusting is handled while it is still easy to reach, which keeps the work tidy and the schedule honest.
