Selecting
the right product for your home.
When
to choose an insert – When converting
a wood burning fireplace to gas.
A fireplace insert is a convenient
and affordable way to convert your existing wood
burning fireplace to natural gas. Inserts fit
into your existing fireplace and use the existing
chimney. To determine the size you will need just
measure the opening of your fireplace –
(width x height x depth) and visit a Dealer nearest
you to select the right product for your home.
When
to choose direct vent - When you don’t
have a chimney. A Direct Vent Fireplace is a perfect
solution for homes that don’t have an existing
chimney. The sealed combustion units draw outside
air in without using a chimney or flue. You can
install these units in almost any room in your
house and several options and styles are available.
When
to choose a stove – Can be used with
or without a chimney. Freestanding gas stoves
are an attractive and functional addition to any
room. The stoves are available with multiple venting
options and can go virtually anywhere in your
house. The Vermont Castings cast iron and steel
stoves are admired for their esthetic beauty and
are available in a variety of colours and options
to suit your every need.
When
to choose Gas Logs – When converting
a wood fireplace to a natural gas. Vermont Castings
Natural Gas Log sets fit easily inside your existing
wood fireplace providing fireplace ambiance with
less heat and mess. Available in 3 sizes with
a cast iron grate front.

Your
fireplace components
Installing
your new fireplace and cabinet combination
is easier than you may think. The hard part
may be narrowing down your many customized
options available. Here is how a typical Vermont
Castings fireplace and cabinet mantel could
be put together: |
 |
- The Base and Hearth are
part of the cabinet kit and placed against the
wall area first.
- The ‘Firebox”
shown with optional brick lining is then placed
on top of the hearth
- The chosen Cabinet Mantel
is then assembled and placed around the Firebox.
- The fireplace is then accessorized
with assembled customized trims available in
Pewter, Polished Brass, Antique Brass and Black.
Choosing
the Size of Your Cabinet Mantel
The size of your cabinet mantel
is determined by the size required to accommodate
the firebox you have chosen. The size of the Firebox
will be determined by the size of the room, and
the supplemental heat source desired.
Use the brochure to determine
dimensions and specifications of each cabinet,
and be sure to check around your area of installation
for light switches and electric plugs that may
potentially be covered by the cabinet. |
