Fitting a gas insert to your Storey Park fireplace, explained
Plain answers about how gas inserts are installed in Storey Park, and why each step matters.
What counts as noncombustible
Insert manuals use the words combustible and noncombustible precisely. The Supreme manual defines noncombustible materials as those made entirely of steel, iron, brick, tile, concrete, slate, glass or plasters, or materials reported as passing ASTM E 136. Wood, compressed paper, plant fibers and plastics count as combustible, even when flame-proofed.
That matters when you choose a new face for the fireplace. Tile over a noncombustible backer may qualify where a painted wood panel would not. We check your finish choices against those definitions before anyone starts cutting.
Keeping the space in front clear
A gas insert throws its heat forward. The Supreme owner's manual shows a clear space of three feet in front of the fireplace and warns against placing combustible objects there or blocking the louvers. It also advises keeping candles and other heat-sensitive objects off the mantel and hearth.
Furniture layout is part of the plan. We point out the clear space at the walkthrough, so a favorite chair or a rug does not creep too close over the cooler months.
Setting the air shutter
Many gas burners have an air shutter that controls how much air mixes with the gas before it burns. Heat & Glo lists the air shutter setting among its installation steps and puts it on the installer's checklist, set according to the type of installation.
The setting affects flame color, flame height and how much soot builds up on the glass. We set it to the manual's figure for your installation and look at the flame again once it has warmed up.
What a sealed insert changes
An open fireplace feeds its fire with room air and sends that air up the chimney. A direct-vent gas insert burns behind sealed glass, with its own air supply and exhaust, so the fire no longer depends on the air in your room.
The result is a fireplace you start with a switch or a remote, with a steady flame and no ash to clear out. We explain honestly what to expect from the model you choose, including the heat it is built to give.

Gas fireplace insert FAQs for Storey Park
Not covered here? Our Storey Park team will answer on the phone.
Will a gas insert work during a power outage?
Many electronic-ignition inserts include a battery pack for outages, and Heat & Glo's Supreme series is one. The maker treats batteries as an emergency power source only. We show you how your model handles an outage at handover.
Do you service the insert after it is installed?
Yes. Makers recommend a yearly service by a qualified technician, covering the glass seal, logs, embers, venting and cap. We can schedule yours before the cooler months.
