Your Fireplace Installation in University
Every installation follows the manual or the code, and our workmanship warranty covers the work.
Chimney pipe rated for wood fires
Wood fires produce hot exhaust, and the chimney has to be built for it. Section R1005.3 of the Florida residential code requires factory-built chimneys serving solid-fuel appliances in homes to meet the Type HT requirements of UL 103, and to be marked Type HT and Residential Type and Building Heating Appliance Chimney.
That marking is on the pipe itself. Our pros confirm it, along with the fireplace maker's list of approved chimneys, before anything is ordered. The chimney rising through your house in University is then the one the fireplace and the code both call for.
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 University, and the estimate shows who builds each part.
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 University while still reading clearly as the hearth.
Ashes and everyday use
Every wood fire leaves ashes, and they hold heat longer than most people expect. NFPA safety guidance says ashes should cool first, then go into a metal container that is kept well away from the house.
Keep a metal bucket with a lid and a small shovel for that job, and close the screen or doors while a fire is burning. Our pros go through these basics with the fireplace manual when the installation is done, so your household in University starts with good habits from the first evening.
