Fireplace installation, explained by our Aloma team
Three parts of the job our fireplace specialists walk through with Aloma homeowners.
Keeping the new fireplace dry during construction
A fireplace delivered to an open framing job can sit in the rain if nobody plans for it. One maker cautions against exposing its fireplace to the elements and asks that it be kept dry at all times, noting that wet insulation will produce an odor when the fireplace is used.
We schedule delivery for when the unit can go under cover, and a roof opening is closed at the end of each working day. Those small steps keep the first fire from smelling like a wet attic.
Glass doors that belong to the listing
Section R1004.5 says a gasketed fireplace door shall not be installed on a factory-built fireplace unless the fireplace system has been specifically tested, listed and labeled for such use in accordance with UL 127. The E-series manual lists the door models tested with its fireplaces.
Aftermarket doors that seal tightly can trap heat the fireplace was not tested for. We order doors from the manual's list, and if you already bought a set, we check the model before hanging it.
When a factory-built fireplace has reached its end
Factory-built fireboxes wear. Refractory panels crack and crumble, metal warps or rusts through, and damper parts stop working. When the maker no longer supplies parts, or the damage reaches the firebox itself, repair stops being practical and replacement becomes the honest answer.
We look at the unit, its label and its chimney before recommending anything. If replacement is the right call, the estimate covers removal, the new fireplace, its listed chimney and the finish work to put the wall back.
The flue of a new masonry chimney
A new masonry chimney carries its smoke through a flue liner sized to the fireplace opening. The code sets how the liner is built and supported and how much space surrounds it.
We size the flue to the firebox and the chimney height at the design stage, because an undersized flue makes a smoky fireplace and an oversized one draws poorly. The flue size appears on the drawings and on the estimate, so it is settled before the chimney rises past the roof.

Fireplace installation questions we answer in Aloma
Undecided? These help, and the fireplace visit in Aloma costs nothing.
Do I need outside air for the fireplace?
The code generally wants an outside air supply, unless mechanical ventilation keeps the room at neutral or positive pressure. One maker notes that adding an outside air kit later means significant reconstruction, so we plan it from the start.
How large must the hearth in front of a factory-built fireplace be?
Section R1004.2 hands that decision to the fireplace listing, so the manual sets the size and the material. Embers land there when a log rolls, which is why we build it to the manual, face it in the noncombustible finish you choose and point out its edges before the rugs go back.
