What Is a Zero-Clearance Wood Fireplace?

A zero-clearance wood fireplace is a prefabricated fireplace that can be installed closer to combustible materials, such as wood framing, than traditional options. They are highly efficient and are often considered a safer heating alternative because they are built with insulated fireboxes and other heat-resistant materials.

They also offer flexibility in placement and can fit into various spaces, making them a popular choice for homeowners seeking the warmth and ambiance of a wood-burning fireplace, just without the need for extensive modifications or masonry work.

Why else are these such a popular option for homeowners?

  • There are many style and design options. Modern wood fireplaces are designed in a wide variety of shapes, sizes, styles, and finishes. You’ll find it easy to bring home the perfect model to match your heating requirements and aesthetic wishes.
  • The ambiance is hard to replicate. Gas and electric fireplaces certainly will perform well for home heating, but for some people, only a real wood fire will do. Leaping flames, subtle aromas, crackling logs…these features bring a unique feeling of tradition and nostalgia to a hearth area.
  • They have advanced burn technology. Open-style masonry fireplaces usually carry efficiency ratings of just 20% – and often much lower. Modern zero-clearance wood fireplaces, on the other hand, have ratings of 75%, 80%, and even higher. Advanced burn technology makes these appliances far more powerful than traditional fireplaces.
  • They provide a better overall burn. This technology also results in a more complete burn of your wood fuel, which means you’ll get a lot more heat out of every stack of logs you ignite – and less smoke during the burn time. That means more power with less fuel used.
  • Wood is a carbon neutral fuel. This means that the amount of carbon dioxide released during a fire is roughly equal to the amount the tree absorbed during its lifetime. This means using wood as a fuel doesn’t add extra carbon to the atmosphere, as long as the wood is sustainably sourced and replanted.

What Is the Wood Fireplace Installation Process Like?

Well, it depends on the type of wood fireplace. Building a masonry wood fireplace will look a lot different than installing a zero-clearance option or a fireplace insert.

  • The masonry wood fireplace installation process involves a lot of planning and site preparation, where a professional evaluates the desired location, checks clearances, and ensures the structure can support the fireplace and chimney. Then, they’ll lay a foundation, after which the entire fireplace is constructed brick by brick, with necessary metal components and lining systems being added after.
  • When installing a zero-clearance wood fireplace, you won’t have to have a chimney built. These appliances come with a special steel vent pipe designed to vent your specific model of fireplace. Zero-clearance wood fireplaces are heavily insulated for safer operation, but should always be installed by trained and certified fireplace installers.

The SureGlow technicians are experts in the installation of all brands, sizes, and styles of wood-burning fireplaces. When we perform your installation, you’ll have the peace of mind that comes from knowing it was done right by industry-leading professionals.

Let us help you choose the best model for your home, and install it safely and in accord with all manufacturer’s requirements and local safety codes. Learn more about the benefits of heating with wood, call us today or reach out online.
