How Our Pros Install Fireplaces in Egypt Lake-Leto
What our installers check, plan and build on a fireplace project in Egypt Lake-Leto.
A factory-built fireplace is installed to its listing
Under section R1004.1 of the Florida Building Code, Residential, a factory-built fireplace must carry a listing and label, must have been tested to UL 127, and must go in according to the conditions of that listing. In practice, the manufacturer's installation manual becomes the rulebook for the whole job.
That manual sets the framing dimensions, the clearances, the hearth, the chimney parts and the finishing limits for one exact model. Our pros work from the manual for the unit you choose and keep it on site through the installation, so nothing is left to habits carried over from a different model.
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 Egypt Lake-Leto, and the estimate shows who builds each part.
Support for the chimney and the roof framing
A fully assembled factory-built chimney is heavy. Florida's residential code, section R1005.5, requires joists, rafters and other members that support it to be designed for the added load. DuraTech's instructions also advise choosing a location that avoids modifying roof beams and other structural parts.
Our pros look at the framing before settling on the spot for the fireplace and the path of the chimney. If a rafter or joist would have to be cut or reinforced, you hear about it in the estimate, along with who handles that framing work and how it fits the schedule.
Closing the roof opening
Every chimney that passes through a roof creates an opening that has to shed rain for years. Factory-built chimney systems include listed roof parts and a storm collar for that job, and the manual shows how they fit with the roofing around them.
Our pros install those parts as the manual shows and work them into your roofing so water runs past the chimney. When a roofer is needed for tile or metal roofing, we coordinate the work and include it in the estimate for your home in Egypt Lake-Leto.
