LOCATION OF FIREPLACE

Carefully select the proper location for heat circulation, aesthetics, chimney obstructions, air inlet location and clearance to side wall(s). With proper pre-planning, a slight adjustment of a few inches can save considerable time and expense later during construction and assembly. See Figures 5 & 6 for examples.

When locating the fireplace, consideration must be given to combustibles and final finishing. See Figure 5 and confine the final location of combustible finish materials to the "Safe Zone."

DO NOT permanently place furniture or other items such as decorative pillows within 60" of the fireplace front face.

Indoor Locations - Carefully consider the position of the fireplace opening with respect to the location of adjacent or nearby stairwells, bath or kitchen exhaust fans and/or return air registers for forced air furnaces/air conditioners that could cause a smoking fireplace condition if the house is tightly insulated.
