Fireplace insert know-how for Isleworth homes
How the manual, the flue and your fireplace shape the plan in Isleworth.
A wood mantel close to the opening
A mantel that was acceptable above an open fireplace can sit inside the clearance of an insert, because the hot body and door of the unit sit right at the opening. In the Pacific guide, the mantel minimum is 24 inches, measured from the insert body.
When a mantel is too close, the choices are a model whose manual lists a smaller figure, a mantel raised or replaced with noncombustible material, or a protection method the manual itself describes. We lay out those options with their costs in writing and let you choose.
The door seal on a new insert
The door and glass of an insert close against gaskets that make the firebox airtight enough for the air controls to work. The Travis manual lists maintaining the door and glass seal among its safety precautions and describes a door that forms an air-tight seal.
At the walkthrough we close the door on a strip of paper to show how a good seal grips. Gaskets wear over the years, and knowing how a new one feels makes it easier to notice when a replacement is due.
Can an existing liner be reused
A liner already in the chimney may or may not suit a new insert. It must be the size the new manual asks for, be a type the new maker accepts, be in sound condition and connect properly to the new collar.
We check an existing liner's size and condition from the top and the bottom, and we say plainly whether it can stay. If it cannot, the estimate explains why, rather than quoting a new liner as a default.
How install day usually runs
A typical sequence is protection laid, old parts removed, firebox cleaned, liner lowered from the top and connected, insert slid in and leveled, surround fitted and sealed, top plate and cap finished, and a first fire lit together.
The order can change with the fireplace, and we explain the plan for yours at the inspection. You know when the crew needs the roof, when the living room is out of use and when you can light the first real fire.

Asked by Isleworth homeowners before an insert goes in
If we missed your question, our Isleworth insert team answers the phone.
Will my hearth be big enough?
Insert manuals set how far the noncombustible hearth must reach in front of and beside the opening, and whether a flush hearth needs to reach further. We measure yours and write any extension into the estimate.
How often should the insert and liner be checked?
Once a year at minimum, since NFPA 211 asks for chimneys, fireplaces and vents to get an annual inspection, with cleaning or repair when needed. We offer maintenance visits for that check, and one insert maker also asks owners to look over the connector and chimney at least twice a month.
