Determine exact position of fireplace, including hearth height, width, and depth, (if applicable). If possible, place fireplace in such a manner
that vent termination will be placed between two studs, eliminating the need for additional framing.
If masonry is to be used (optional), prepare necessary foundation for the masonry load. When masonry construction is being used, a lintel
must be used over top of fireplace to support the added weight.
Build hearth to desired size and height. If a hearth extension is desired, combustible material may be used. If carpeting or other combustible
flooring is desired in front of fireplace, fireplace bottom must level or above flooring material level.
