What decides where a fireplace can go in Rowena Gardens
A closer look at the chimney route, the hearth and the face in Rowena Gardens.
Glass doors that belong to the listing
Section R1004.5 says a gasketed fireplace door shall not be installed on a factory-built fireplace unless the fireplace system has been specifically tested, listed and labeled for such use in accordance with UL 127. The E-series manual lists the door models tested with its fireplaces.
Aftermarket doors that seal tightly can trap heat the fireplace was not tested for. We order doors from the manual's list, and if you already bought a set, we check the model before hanging it.
The hearth of a masonry fireplace
Section R1001.9 has masonry fireplace hearths and hearth extensions made of concrete or masonry, carried on noncombustible supports and reinforced for their own weight along with every load put on them. Section R1001.9.1 sets the minimum hearth thickness at 4 inches.
The hearth under the fire and the extension out front carry weight, so they are structure first and decoration second. We plan the support below them before choosing the finish stone on top, and we make sure the floor framing around the hearth is kept the required distance from the masonry.
Fireblocking around the fireplace
Section R1001.12 ties fireplace fireblocking to section R302.11, the code's general fireblocking rules. Fireblocking closes concealed spaces in the framing so that fire cannot travel through walls and floors alongside a chimney.
Around a masonry chimney and in a chase, those details are hidden once the house is finished. We install them as the code requires, leave them visible until the inspector has seen them and only then let the drywall go up.
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 Rowena Gardens homeowners before a fireplace goes in
If we missed your question, our Rowena Gardens fireplace team answers the phone.
Does a new fireplace need a permit?
A new or replacement fireplace and chimney is permitted work under the Florida Building Code. We check what the building department asks for at your address, list any fee separately and keep framing open for inspection.
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.
