RAISED FIREPLACES AND HEARTHS:
There are a few options with raised fireplaces: raised with no hearth, raised with a raised hearth, or raised with a floor level hearth. If the fireplace is 3 inches (76 mm) or more above the floor, a hearth is not required. This measurement should be taken from the top of the flooring, i.e. the top of the carpet. The fireplace cannot be placed within 41 inches (1041 mm) of the ceiling. When installing a raised fireplace, it is imperative that the support stand is strong enough to hold the weight of the fireplace and venting.
