Building a masonry fireplace

Dreaming of a traditional brick fireplace built from the ground up? A masonry fireplace is a serious project: it needs its own footing, a firebox built to code dimensions, a smoke chamber, a damper and a lined chimney, all in masonry.

Planning starts with you at the footing and follows the Florida Building Code's fireplace chapter, and you'll hear about the permit and inspections it needs. It's the biggest fireplace job there is, and it's priced in stages so you can see where the money goes. Speak with a local pro about building a masonry fireplace in East Bronson by calling (352) 675-6366.

Local Conditions

Tight homes and combustion air

If your home in East Bronson is tightly sealed, with strong kitchen and bath fans, a new wood fireplace may need outside combustion air to draw properly. Our specialists plan the air supply with the fireplace, placing the intake where the building code allows and screening it against animals. The duct and intake are priced on their own line.

Installing to the listing

A factory-built fireplace and chimney must use the components and arrangement permitted by their applicable listing and instructions. The labels identify the actual system. Our pros check that information before choosing pipe, supports, shielding or a termination.

The permitted components are identified by the appliance and chimney instructions. A compatible part may be specifically named by its system or manufacturer; matching dimensions or a similar appearance alone does not establish approval. Substitutions need to be checked before installation.

The maker's manual stays on hand throughout the job and a copy stays with you, with the model and parts recorded on your quote.

How thick the firebox walls are

The walls of a masonry firebox keep the fire's heat away from the house. The code's figures: 8 inches of solid masonry in total when a firebrick lining of 2 inches or more is part of it, and 10 inches of solid masonry when there's no lining.

Our specialists build fireboxes with a firebrick lining laid in refractory mortar and solid masonry behind it, to the full thickness.

It's more material than you see from the room, and it's what keeps the framing around the fireplace cool through years of fires. The build is priced in stages, so you can see where the money goes.

Swapping out an old factory-built unit

Swapping a factory-built fireplace isn't as simple as sliding a new box into the old hole. The old chimney was listed with the old unit, and a new unit from another maker, or even a newer model, needs the chimney listed with it.

Some makers offer a matching replacement that works with the existing chimney; if yours doesn't, a new chimney is planned with the new unit.

The old unit and chimney come out, the opening is checked and adjusted to the new unit's framing dimensions, and the new system goes in to its manual. Each stage is priced.

FAQs

Fireplace installs, the short version

Do you run the gas line?

No, a gas contractor runs the gas line to the unit. Our pros install the fireplace and its venting and coordinate the timing, and the quote names who does each part.

Can I put a TV above the fireplace?

That's up to the unit. Each maker's clearance chart sets what can go above, and some units are made for a TV wall. Our specialists check before the wall is framed.
