Fireplaces (a.k.a. zero clearance fireplaces) are typically installed during the construction of a new home or as part of a remodel project. As opposed to an insert, the housing (or firebox) of a fireplace is composed of an inner and outer metal shell. The term “zero clearance” refers to the fact that the framing (studs and subfloor) can come directly in contact with the firebox; no clearance is required, allowing lots of installation flexibility.
Sizing your Fireplace For Your Home
Consult with your authorized Fireplace Xtrordinair® dealer to verify which fireplace size best suits your situation. Before you do, though, take time to answer the following questions:
- How will you use your fireplace: For zonal or supplemental heat or to heat the whole house?
- How many square feet do you want to heat?
- If you’re installing a gas fireplace, will you use natural gas or propane? And is it piped to the house already?
