Fireplace Installation Types
1.Double story - flue outside:
The freestanding fireplace will be placed with the first section of flue section inside going through the wall and then the remaining flue pipes on the outside. Ideal for those who do not want the flue stack visible upstairs.
2.Freestanding in front/inside:
The freestanding fireplace will be placed either in front of or inside the existing hearth or cavity where the old open fireplace used to be. We recommend running flue pipes all the way up to the top to the cowl to prevent any smoke entering the home, unless confident in the chimney structure, where the flue stack can installed partially up the chimney.
3.Insert:
The insert fireplace will be placed in the existing cavity of the old open fireplace. We recommend that flue pipes be installed all the way up to the cowl, unless confident in the chimney structure. Most insert fireplace comes with removable face plates or surrounds, but might need some brickwork or plastering to close up any gaps around the fireplace.
4.Standard double story:
The freestanding fireplace will be placed and flue pipes will be installed through the ground floor ceiling, exposed in the top floor and running through the top floor ceiling.
*All installation are shown as a guideline only. Although they might seem standard, no two installations are the same. Installation costs shown (if present) are an estimate and subject to a site visit.
5.Standard single story:
The freestanding fireplace will be placed with the flue pipes going through the ceiling.
6.Single story - flue outside:
The freestanding fireplace will be placed with the first section going through the wall to the outside just below the ceiling and upwards. For those who feel the Standard Single Story installation is too intrusive with regards to ceiling, roof space and waterproofing issues.
7.Single story - high ceiling: (refer to no.5)
The same method applies for this installation as that of the Standard Single Story installation. Meant for those who have higher ceilings NOT of 2.6m in height.
8.Double story - high ceiling: (refer to no.4)
The same method applies for this installation as that of the Standard Double Story installation. Meant for those who have a higher lower or top floor ceiling NOT of 2.6m in height.
