Choosing a wood fireplace
Every fireplace on this page is a factory-built unit, which means you don’t need a masonry chimney to have a real wood fire. It’s framed right into the wall during construction and vents through an insulated metal chimney — far simpler and far less expensive than laying brick, with the same crackle and the same warmth. If you’re building or remodeling, this is the moment to plan it in. We’ll help you pick the size that suits the room, and handle the framing, the chimney, and the finish work so it’s done right the first time.
What Does "Zero Clearance" Mean?
A zero-clearance fireplace is a factory-built unit that can be framed directly against combustible materials like wood studs, unlike a masonry fireplace which needs significant clearance and its own foundation. It's the practical, budget-friendly way to add a real wood fireplace to a home.
New Build or Remodel?
These fireplaces are typically framed in during construction, but retrofitting one into an existing wall is possible too — it's a more involved project, and we'll walk you through what that looks like for your specific space.
How Does the Chimney Work?
Unlike a masonry fireplace, these vent through an insulated metal chimney system rather than brick — a simpler, faster installation that still safely carries smoke and gases outside.
What Size Do I Need?
Our models range from 36" to 54" — sizing depends on the room and the visual scale you're going for, not just how much heat you need.
What Does EPA Certification Mean?
EPA-certified models burn cleaner and more efficiently, using less wood while producing more heat and far less smoke than older, uncertified units.
Options Worth Considering
Glass doors, blower kits, and finish or facing choices all shape both how the fireplace performs and how it looks in your room — we'll walk you through what's available for each model.
From framing to chimney installation to the annual sweep that keeps it safe, we handle every part of owning a wood-burning fireplace.
