What a proper fireplace installation involves in Parramore
From our family-owned crew, the details that decide how a new fireplace works.
A factory-built fireplace follows its listing
Florida Residential Code section R1004.1 says factory-built fireplaces shall be listed and labeled and installed in accordance with the conditions of the listing. In practice that means the manual that ships with the unit carries the weight of the code itself.
Framing dimensions, air spaces, chimney parts, hearth extension, mantel height and approved accessories all come from that document. Our installers read it for your model before the framing is drawn, and the written plan you approve follows it line by line.
The UL 127 label inside the firebox
Factory-built wood fireplaces are tested to UL 127, the standard for factory-built fireplaces. One maker's wood-burning manual, for its E-series fireplaces, states the system was tested and listed to UL 127 and to the Canadian standard, for installation and operation as described in that manual.
The label that records the listing sits on the unit and names the model, the standard and the approved chimney. Inspectors read it, and so do we. It is the fastest way to confirm that a fireplace, its chimney and its accessories belong together.
Keeping framing away from masonry
Masonry stores heat and passes it outward over a long fire, so framing keeps its distance. Under section R1001.11, wood beams, joists, studs and other combustible material keep a gap of 2 inches or more at the front and sides of a masonry fireplace and 4 inches or more behind it.
We frame around a masonry fireplace with those gaps in mind and check them before the walls close. Framing pushed tight against the brick is one of the defects a careful installation avoids from the start.
Opening the roof for the chimney
A new chimney needs an opening through the roof, framed between rafters or trusses where possible and closed around the pipe with the listed roof parts and a storm collar. Where a truss sits in the way, the route is rethought rather than cut through without a design answer.
Our crew closes any open roof at the end of each working day and finishes the roof covering around the chimney parts as their instructions show. The estimate states how we will reach the roof and how the surface is protected while we work.

What Parramore homeowners want to know about adding a fireplace
If we missed your question, our Parramore fireplace team answers the phone.
Can I choose any glass doors?
On a factory-built fireplace, gasketed doors are allowed only when the system is listed for them. We order doors from your manual's approved list and hang them square.
Can a television hang over a wood-burning fireplace?
Sometimes. The fireplace manual sets the mantel line, the television's maker sets its own heat limits, and both have to be satisfied. We show you how warm air climbs the wall, and the answer may be a deeper mantel, a higher mount or a different wall for the screen.
