A fireplace on an upstairs floor

Hoping for a fireplace in an upstairs room? A heavy masonry fireplace is rarely practical there, but factory-built, gas and electric units can be. The floor still has to carry the unit and its hearth, and the building code wants the structure supporting a factory-built chimney designed for the load.

Floor framing and the route for any chimney or vent decide which units suit, and our specialists recommend from there. If the floor needs reinforcing, that's named on the quote with the trade that does it. Ask our pros about an upstairs fireplace in Andrews by phoning (352) 675-6366.

Local Conditions

Permits in an inland home

For a fireplace installation in Andrews, approval requirements depend on the appliance and the proposed building work. Ask which inspections are needed before enclosure and completion, and who will arrange them. Clarifying those steps helps avoid planning the finish around an unconfirmed installation date.

Three questions about your room

Before any model is chosen, our pros look at three things. The wall: an outside wall lets a gas unit vent straight out, while an inside wall means a chimney through the attic. The floor: it has to carry the unit, its hearth and, for masonry, a footing.

What's above: any wood-burner has to send its smoke up through the ceiling and the roof, clear of framing and at the height its maker or the code calls for.

Those answers narrow the options quickly. You'll hear which kinds of fireplace fit your room, which don't, and why, before anything is priced or ordered.

The throat and damper of a new masonry fireplace

Above a masonry fireplace opening, the lintel supports the masonry and the throat leads toward the smoke chamber. The damper arrangement must suit the fireplace and its fuel. Their positions and construction are considered together rather than copied from a different design.

Getting the throat right is what makes a fireplace draw instead of smoke. Our pros build it to those rules and fit a damper that seals tight when closed.

A top-sealing damper is considered only where the fireplace and fuel permit a closable flue. The proposed option must preserve any required permanent vent opening, and its operating instructions are explained before the system is used.

Facing and mantel clearances

The materials around a fireplace opening have rules. On a factory-built unit, the maker's clearance chart sets how close combustible trim and mantels can sit and how far they can project. For a masonry fireplace, the building code sets those limits.

The chart for your unit gets read before the wall is framed and the mantel height is chosen, so the finish work fits the rules from the start and nothing has to be torn out later.

Noncombustible facing is used where the manual or code calls for it. The mantel itself and the finish carpentry are named on the quote with the trade that handles them.
