Planning a gas fireplace for your Orwin Manor home
Written by the family-owned team that installs gas fireplaces across Orwin Manor.
Vinyl siding and alcoves outside
Siding material and the shape of the wall both change the numbers. In the Novus table, a cap in an alcove needs more room from a vinyl sidewall than from other sidewalls, and much more room from a vinyl soffit or overhang than from other materials.
Vinyl softens with heat, so its clearances are generous. We note the siding and soffit material on the estimate and place the cap to the vinyl figures wherever vinyl is present.
Side walls and mantel legs
Walls and mantel legs beside the opening have their own limits. The Novus manual sets a minimum distance from the side of the appliance to a perpendicular wall, a minimum from the fireplace opening to that wall, and a maximum depth for the projection.
Built-in shelving, stone columns and cabinet ends beside a fireplace all fall under those numbers. We check them on the plan, so a custom cabinet does not have to be rebuilt after it arrives.
Replacing a fireplace after water damage
When a gas fireplace has been under water, its controls are suspect. In the Novus manual, an appliance that has had any part sitting in water stays off until a qualified technician has inspected it and swapped out each part of the control system and each gas control that was soaked.
Depending on the damage and the parts available, replacing the whole fireplace can make more sense than rebuilding its controls. We look at both and explain the difference in price and outcome.

Gas fireplace installation FAQs for Orwin Manor
Your question not here? Our Orwin Manor team will answer it on the phone.
Can I put a TV above the new fireplace?
Often, with the right mantel and distances. We check the fireplace maker's guidance and the TV's own temperature limit and plan the wall before anything is built.
Do you handle the drywall and tile around the fireplace?
The estimate spells out the finish work and who does it. We build the framing and noncombustible zone to the manual and coordinate the facing, so the finishes go on without breaking a clearance.
