Before any wall is opened for a fireplace in Wyndham Lakes
Explained by the crew that frames and pipes fireplaces in Wyndham Lakes.
Type HT chimney for a wood-burning fireplace
Wood fires need a chimney rated for them. Section R1005.3 requires factory-built chimneys in homes with solid-fuel-burning appliances to meet the Type HT requirements of UL 103, marked Type HT and Residential Type and Building Heating Appliance Chimney.
For a factory-built fireplace, the chimney that meets that requirement is the one its manual names. We check the marking on the pipe we install and on any existing pipe we are asked to reuse, because a chimney without the right marking is not one we connect a wood fire to.
What may cover the face of the fireplace
The metal face of a factory-built fireplace may be covered only with noncombustible materials such as ceramic tile, brick or stone, according to the E-series manual, which warns that combustible finishes over the face may cause a structure fire. The same warning forbids covering cooling air slots or any part of the opening that would prevent an authorized glass door from being installed.
That is why the finish plan belongs in the installation plan. We confirm the tile or stone you want suits the manual and leave the slots and the door frame clear.
The screen and the doors in use
The E-series manual says a firescreen is always provided to control sparks, and when the glass doors are open, the screen must be closed. It also says glass doors and screens must not be used to hold logs in place.
We show you the screen and the doors at the walkthrough and explain how the manual asks you to use them together. A screen left open during a crackling fire is how embers reach the rug, and a log propped against the doors is how glass cracks.
Taking the old fireplace out
Removing a factory-built fireplace means opening the face finish, disconnecting the chimney, lifting out the pipe sections and sliding the firebox out through the room. The old chimney is usually removed from the roof down.
Our crew protects the floor and furniture, keeps the roof opening closed at the end of each day and hauls the old unit away when that is in the scope. Removal and disposal are separate lines on the estimate, and the room is cleaned before the new fireplace arrives.

Fireplace questions Wyndham Lakes homeowners ask next
If we missed your question, our Wyndham Lakes fireplace team answers the phone.
Why can the chimney not take any path it likes to the roof?
Section R1005.7 holds a factory-built chimney to 30 degrees from vertical at most, with four elbows as the limit for the whole run. If a spot in the room would break either limit, the spot moves. We draw the route before recommending where the fireplace should sit.
Does an addition with a fireplace need a carbon monoxide alarm?
Under Florida Statutes section 553.885, a new building or addition with a fireplace gets an approved, working carbon monoxide alarm no more than 10 feet from each bedroom, or wherever the building code places it. We raise it while planning and price the alarm work on its own line.
