What decides where a fireplace can go in Fullers
A closer look at the chimney route, the hearth and the face in Fullers.
The insulation shield in the attic
Florida Residential Code section R1005.8 says that where factory-built chimneys pass through insulated assemblies, an insulation shield of steel at least 0.0187 inch thick, No. 26 gage, shall provide clearance between the chimney and the insulation.
In an attic with blown or batt insulation, that shield is what keeps insulation off the pipe. The E-series manual pairs it with a firestop spacer that supports it. We install the shield listed for your chimney system and check the insulation around it before we climb down.
Inspect and clean before the season
The E-series manual asks owners to inspect and clean the fireplace and chimney prior to use and periodically during the burning season, to keep a safe system and prevent soot buildup. NFPA 211 has chimneys and fireplaces inspected yearly, looking at soundness, deposits and whether clearances are correct.
A new fireplace is the easiest to keep in order. We note the install date and chimney parts in your records, so the first yearly visit starts with the facts.
Yearly inspection of a new fireplace
NFPA 211, the national standard for chimneys, fireplaces, vents and solid fuel-burning appliances, sets a yearly inspection for soundness, deposits and clearances, and cleaning or repair follows whenever that inspection calls for it.
A new fireplace is at its best on day one, and yearly visits keep it there. We record the install date and the chimney parts so the first inspection starts with the facts, and we are glad to handle that visit when it comes due.
Throat and smoke chamber in a new masonry fireplace
Above the firebox of a masonry fireplace, the throat narrows to the damper and the smoke chamber tapers into the flue. Their shape decides how smoke is gathered and sent up the chimney.
We build these parts to the code's shape and keep their surfaces smooth, because rough or badly shaped smoke chambers slow the draft and gather soot. They are hidden once the chimney is finished, so they have to be right as they are laid, course by course.

Asked by Fullers homeowners before a fireplace goes in
If we missed your question, our Fullers fireplace team answers the phone.
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.
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.
