A TV or mantel above the fireplace

Planning a mantel or a TV over the new fireplace? Heat rises from the opening, and every fireplace's manual or the building code sets how close combustible materials can be and how far they can project.

Reading the clearance charts for your unit before the wall is framed means the mantel height and the TV location work from the start. Some units are made for a TV above them; others aren't. Finish carpentry and the mantel itself are named on the quote with the trade that handles them. Ask about planning the wall above your fireplace in LaCrosse at (352) 675-6366.

LaCrosse recorded a population of 316 in the 2020 Census. LaCrosse is an inland service location, separate from the sea coast.

Local Conditions

A fireplace on a concrete slab

A concrete slab under your home in LaCrosse keeps floor support simple for a factory-built or gas unit. The unit can sit on the slab with the hearth the manual calls for.

A masonry fireplace still needs its own footing, and our pros check whether the slab can serve or a separate footing has to be poured. The slab's thickness and condition are checked first.

Metal system or brick built on site

One path is a factory-built fireplace: a metal firebox and chimney that were tested and listed together. It's lighter, quicker to install and fits more rooms, including upstairs ones. The other path is a masonry fireplace, laid up in brick or stone on its own footing, which is heavier, slower and more costly.

Both can burn wood, and both have rules: the factory-built unit follows its listing and manual, and the masonry fireplace follows the building code's fireplace chapter.

Our specialists explain what each would mean for your house, from the floor to the roof, and price both where both fit.

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.

The gap between masonry and framing

Combustible framing must remain outside the clearances required for the masonry fireplace. The design also determines the appropriate fireblocking. Concealed details need to be established before finishes cover them, with any required inspection planned into the work.

Our specialists establish the required separation for the proposed fireplace and check the framing arrangement before surrounding finishes conceal it.

Trim and facing near the opening have their own limits, and those are checked too, so the finish work doesn't undo the clearances hidden behind it. The checks are noted on your quote along with the framing plan.

FAQs

Choosing a fuel? Ask us

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.

Is a fireplace install covered by a warranty?

Two warranties apply: ours on the workmanship of the install, and the maker's warranty on the unit applies under its own terms. Reserve your free planning visit in LaCrosse at (352) 675-6366.
