Variety And Care Of Fireplaces
by: Lisa Sparillo

There is a great variety of fireplaces when it comes to the choice of fireplaces as there is a great variety of it and many advantages associated with it also. There are many fireplaces like the ones that are soot free. There are many fireplaces which are used to give a new look to the house with artificial stones with a caution that when you look at an operating gas fireplace it doesn’t look fake to you due to the perfection in building up of the fireplace. Outdoor these fireplaces are famous as they are attached to the main house or outbuildings, while others stand alone in the landscape to give a dual view to it.

Cleaning of fireplaces:

There are many brushes which are available in a great variety of shapes and sizes for a perfect cleaning system and they are a designed to use specific rods with specific tools to clean flues of creosote, break flue tiles when relining, and make cleaning easier and faster. Fireplace damper handles are used to close the fireplace flue when the fireplace is not in use but one must fully open it before lighting the fire.

Other types:

A compact space-saving design adds to any décor as well as thermostatically controlled heat is given out throughout the room. The electric ones have the most realistic flame technology on the market today and are available with a wide range of options to suit your individual needs. Radiant logs used to reinforce with molded-in steel rods for extra strength and long life so that there is an assurance of durability. Fireplace inserts are used to give an informal touch with a fresh and new look for the best of causal country décor to add to the style and look of the place.








    *Note: If you have a terra cotta clay chimney
    flue lining, be sure to measure the true length and width of the
    inside of your chimney flue space.

    *If there is a terra cotta clay flue liner, does it protrude out of
    the top of the chimney at least 2 inches? If there are at least 2
    inches and the terra cotta clay is in good condition, you will use
    our stainless steel, terra cotta top plate that has a 1 1⁄2inch edge
    that goes all the way around (like a shoebox lid).

    *If your terra cotta clay flue is in bad shape at the top, you may
    need to just take a hammer and tap all around that terra cotta,
    taking it away to make the surface flat at the top of your chimney.
    In that case, you will simply use the flat top plate that comes with
    our liner kit.



    *Note: If you have a terra cotta clay chimney
    flue lining, be sure to measure the true length and width of the
    inside of your chimney flue space.

    *If it is on the back of the stove, is it parallel with the back of the stove or is it at an angle, like 45 degrees?

    *If it is at an angle you will use an insert stove adaptor (an insert liner kit) rather than a two-part tee with cleanout cap.


    Usually pellet stoves have an exhaust hole id of 3 inches. However, if you are going up more than 15 feet to the top of your chimney you need to use a pipe and/or flex liner that is 4 inches diameter.





    If you are only venting a hot water heater then the exhaust hole diameter is probably 3 inch diameter. If it is 3 inch diameter and you are going up more than 15 feet to the top of your chimney, you must use a 4 inch diameter flexible liner or ridged pipe for proper draft. We also suggest to go ahead and use a 4 inch diameter flexible liner or ridged pipe even if the total length is 15 feet or less.


    Not the depth or any other dimension inside your fireplace.

    Most gas log fireplaces require an 8 inch liner kit or rigid kit. But do not assume that is the case for the gas log fireplace kit you are installing. Obey the requirements for that specific unit that are in your installation/instruction manual.
