The lintel which has features similar to those used in window and door openings is meant to bear the load from the firebox. The firebox also referred to as the inner lintel is the main burning unit. Its architectural plan is fundamental to the successful function of the fireplace. Some defects related to the firebox are water damage, heat damage and dimensions.

The throat is where the firebox ends and the beginning of the vent. Poor throat construction may lead to leaks in the firebox. Once you have a good understanding of the fireplace you will have an easy time when carrying out an inspection of your fireplace.

Some of the fires radiate heat, however fires also warm the air from your room by circulating this inside of body of fireplace, and separately from combustion procedure.

This type of the flue is built in fire and runs directly through wall behind. This takes the fresh air in & lets the combustion gases out. The balanced flue can be used with the glass fronted fires thus there is not any contact between fire and air in a room.

Flueless and Vent-Free

Combustion gases can be cleaned by catalytic converter & released in the room, and making flueless fireplaces totally efficient as no heat gets lost through flue. The flueless fireplace is only installed in the larger rooms. Minimum room size differs, thus carefully check out manufacturer's specifications.
