1. Selecting Fireplace Locations
This fireplace may be used as a room divider, installed
along a wall, across a corner or used in an exterior chase.
See Figure 2.2.
Locating the fireplace in a basement is not recommended.
Locating near frequently opened doors, central heat outlets
or returns, or other locations of considerable air movement
can affect the performance.
