Fireplace installation, explained by our Belmere team
Three parts of the job our fireplace specialists walk through with Belmere homeowners.
Along a wall, across a corner or in a chase
A factory-built fireplace offers more placement choices than masonry. One manual we work from shows the same fireplace used as a room divider, along a wall, across a corner or set in an exterior chase, with framing details for each arrangement.
Each placement changes the framing, the chimney route and how much floor the hearth extension takes. We sketch the options that suit your room during the free inspection and explain what each one would involve, so you choose the layout with the work in view.
Weather protection for the chase top and cap
Detailed instructions for the chase top, storm collar and termination cap come packed with those parts. To protect against corrosion on parts exposed to weather, the E-series manual recommends painting the chase top and termination cap with a rust-resistant paint.
We follow the packed instructions for each part, including the air space between the chimney and the enclosure, and we tell you at handover which parts are exposed and what their upkeep looks like over the years.
Metal strips where the hearth meets the fireplace
Some fireplaces ship with small parts that matter. The E-series units come with metal hearth strips that slide under the front edge, overlap in the middle and extend past the front and sides of the opening, protecting the joint where the fireplace and the hearth extension meet.
Small parts like these are easy to lose in a busy renovation. We fit them as the manual describes before the hearth goes down and seal the joint with the noncombustible sealant the manual calls for, so the seam between fireplace and hearth is protected.
Taking the old fireplace out
Removing a factory-built fireplace means opening the face finish, disconnecting the chimney, lifting out the pipe sections and sliding the firebox out through the room. The old chimney is usually removed from the roof down.
Our crew protects the floor and furniture, keeps the roof opening closed at the end of each day and hauls the old unit away when that is in the scope. Removal and disposal are separate lines on the estimate, and the room is cleaned before the new fireplace arrives.

Answers on adding a fireplace for Belmere households
Honest answers from our Belmere fireplace specialists, no pressure attached.
Is the inspection really free?
Yes. We look at the room, the route to the roof, the structure and any existing fireplace, then give you a written estimate with upfront pricing. Save 10% on any service booked within 72 hours after the free inspection.
Does an addition with a fireplace need a carbon monoxide alarm?
Under Florida Statutes section 553.885, a new building or addition with a fireplace gets an approved, working carbon monoxide alarm no more than 10 feet from each bedroom, or wherever the building code places it. We raise it while planning and price the alarm work on its own line.
