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 Lithia, and the estimate shows who builds each part.
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.
Reusing an old fireplace opening
Remodels sometimes uncover an old fireplace opening, or a family wants a fireplace back where one used to be. The space may look ready, but the original unit's chimney, hearth and framing may not suit a new fireplace. A new unit has to meet its own listing and the current code, whatever stood there before.
Our pros open up only what is needed to see the framing and the old chimney, then report what can stay. If the opening needs rework, the estimate says so and prices it on its own line for your home in Lithia.
The order of work on an installation
Installations run in stages. Framing and any structural work come first. Then the fireplace is set and connected, the chimney is run through the ceilings and the roof, and the roof opening is closed with the parts listed for the system.
Inspections may fall between those stages, before walls and ceilings are closed. The hearth, surround and mantel come last. Our pros give you the sequence and a realistic number of visits for your project in Lithia, so you know when rooms will be open and when the work is done.
