- Traditional foundation not necessary - There are other alternatives to a concrete foundation! The area should be a smooth level surface to match the unit, (supplied by other contractor)
- Venting Can be installed into a existing chimney or a class A chimney . Ask us for placement
Step Two
The outer layer of soapstone is put into place first, then the firebox and the internal flues are built.
- Inside view - Get a true understanding of how the unit works. See how the chambers are made and the flow pattern of the flue gases.
- Clearances - Can be reduced to as little as three inches!
Step Three
The stones are then carefully set and squared, The fire cap stones and internal insulation are placed on the top of the fireplace.
- Insulation - Under the cap stones provide heat down and then out of the unit.
- Hearth - Dean's can provide you with matching soapstone tiles to compliment your fireplace and protect your floor from sparks.
