What a proper fireplace installation involves in Flamingo
From our family-owned crew, the details that decide how a new fireplace works.
The chimney pipe is a listed product too
Under section R1005.1, factory-built chimneys shall be listed and labeled and installed and terminated in accordance with the manufacturer's instructions. The chimney is not generic pipe; it is a tested product with its own rules for joints, supports, spacers and the parts at the roof.
When we plan chimney installation for a new fireplace, the chimney model comes from the fireplace manual, and its own instructions govern every section above the firebox. That is how chimney pipe installation stays inside the same listing as the fireplace it serves.
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.
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.
Counting chimney sections before ordering
A factory-built chimney is ordered as a parts list: straight sections, any offsets and their straps, a firestop for each floor or ceiling, an attic shield, the roof parts, a storm collar and the listed cap. The count comes from floor heights, attic depth, roof pitch and the ten-foot rule.
We measure each of those at the planning visit and build the list from them, with a little margin where the manual allows. That way the crew arrives with the right chimney for your house and no second trip to the supplier.

What Flamingo homeowners want to know about adding a fireplace
If we missed your question, our Flamingo fireplace team answers the phone.
What happens where the chimney passes through attic insulation?
Section R1005.8 calls for a steel insulation shield at least 0.0187 inch thick wherever a factory-built chimney crosses insulated space, so the insulation stays off the pipe. We fit the shield listed for your chimney system and check the insulation around it before we leave the attic.
Will our roof be left open overnight?
No. The chimney goes through a framed opening between rafters or trusses and is closed with the listed roof parts and a storm collar. Any open roof is covered at the end of each working day, and the estimate says how we reach the roof and protect it while we work.
