The attic is where the details live
The attic holds the details that keep a chimney run safe. Where the pipe passes the ceiling, a listed firestop keeps the clearance to framing. Where it passes insulation, a steel shield holds the insulation back and stands above it. Rafters in the way are cut and headed off with framing sized for the load.
In an attic in Panama Park we also look at what else is there, ducts, wiring and access, because the chimney route has to leave all of it clear. Attic work is done from boards laid across the joists, so the ceilings below are not stepped through. The work area is lit and cleared before any cutting starts. Planning costs you nothing in Panama Park; call (904) 920-5495 and tell us which room you have in mind.
The coastline lies beyond Panama Park. Within Jacksonville city limits, Panama Park is its own named neighborhood.

How our installation pros put in a fireplace in Panama Park
-
Route walked and drawn
The room, attic and roof are checked for a chimney path, and the plan is drawn to the unit's manual.
-
Permit and framing
The permit is pulled, and framing, firestops and shields go in to the listed clearances.
-
Unit, chimney and hearth set
The unit goes in, the listed chimney runs to its termination, and the hearth extension is laid.
-
Inspection, finish, hand-over
The inspector checks the open framing, the finish goes on, and we walk you through the unit.
Shields and firestops for Panama Park installs
Where a factory-built chimney passes an insulated ceiling, the code calls for a steel insulation shield around it, and every floor and ceiling gets a listed firestop.
We fit both on installs in Panama Park and leave them visible for the inspector.

Decorative tops need their own listing
A plain metal cap on a factory-built chimney can look out of place, and decorative shrouds are sold to dress it up. The code allows a shroud at the top of a factory-built chimney only when the shroud is listed and labeled for that specific chimney system and installed to the maker's instructions. A shroud that is not listed can trap heat or change the draft the system was tested with.
If you want a finished look at the top, we price a shroud from the chimney maker's list, or a chase finish that keeps the listed cap exposed. Anything else stays off the top.
The combustion air duct
Outside combustion air reaches the firebox through a duct from an inlet on the exterior. On a factory-built unit, it is a listed component of the fireplace, installed as the manual shows. On a masonry fireplace, a listed duct is installed to its own listing.
Where a duct is not listed, the code keeps combustibles at least an inch from it within 5 feet of its outlet, and the passage into the firebox is sized between 6 and 55 square inches. We route the duct as short and straight as the framing allows. The kit's control at the firebox end closes it when the fireplace is not in use.
What can cover the face of the unit
The face of a factory-built fireplace, the metal around the opening, gets hot, and the manual limits what can cover it. It calls for noncombustible materials such as tile, stone or brick veneer, set with an adhesive rated for the temperature the manual names, and it shows where the facing has to stop short of the opening or the grilles. Combustible board and wood trim stay outside that zone.
We give you the manual's facing rules with the plan, so the tile or stone you choose fits them before it is bought. Grout and setting materials follow the same temperature rule.

Before any wall is opened
Is a factory-built fireplace as safe as a masonry one?
Installed and kept to its listing, a factory-built fireplace is tested as a complete system with its chimney. Its safety depends on that listing being followed, which is why substitute parts are not used.
Is a new fireplace covered by the 10% offer?
It is. A new installation booked within 72 hours of the free inspection comes 10% off like any other job.
