  • Page 69: Flare Fireplaces - Double Glass

    OVERVIEW With an effort to make our fireplaces safer, Flare Fireplaces is offering our full line of products with a safety double glass technology. The Flare Fireplace double glass is built with two layers of glass. The design allows cool air to flow between the two layers, with the help of built-in blowers, which significantly lowers the temperature of the external glass making it safe for a brief touch.
  • Page 70: Power Requirements

    The following sizes MUST be maintained for the lower air intake: For fireplaces sized 60” / 150 cm and above - vent area must be at least 70 square inches. For fireplaces sized 50” / 125 cm and below - vent area must be at least 50 square inches. For See Through and Room Definer fireplaces, the air intake requirements are double.

  • Page 76 6. Fireplace shelf enclosure – The minimum height to the inside of a shelf above the fireplace is 6 inches (12 inches above the glass). The shelf must be built with non-combustible material at least 5/8” thick. Due to the low size of shelf enclosure, it is recommended to build the enclosure using a Skamol board.
  • Page 77 10. Minimum clearance to sides and back – Combustible – Clearance to combustible material at the back or sides of the fireplace, below the non-combustible line is 8” . Please note this does not include minimum clearance directly above the fireplace inside the chase. Please see items starting 12. 11.
