Page 64: Flare Fireplaces - Double Glass
OVERVIEW With an effort to make our fireplaces safer, Flare Fireplaces is offering our full line of products with 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 65: Double Glass - Instructions
DOUBLE GLASS - INSTRUCTIONS The double glass design depends on the blower’s ability to move room temperature air from the lower air intake, up between the internal and external glass, through the chase above the fireplace, and out the upper heat release. These relatively quiet blowers cannot be turned off and are required for the continued operation of your Double Glass system. -

Flare fireplaces are not designed to be load baring or support weight of any architectural framing. All framing should be self- supported, supported by back wall, side wall, or ceiling. Attempting to mount framing to a fireplace subjects’ glass to unsupported weight and could result in damage to fireplace or breakage of glass.
- Page 73 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 74 12. Minimum clearance directly above the fireplace inside the chase – Combustible • First 18” directly above the fireplace MUST be framed using non-combustible material. Metal Studs. Zone A • All combustibles above the 18” must be covered. Zone B. There should be no combustible materials left uncovered above the fireplace inside the chase.
- Page 75 14. Hearth Clearances – A. Clearance to an uncovered combustible hearth below the glass is 2 inches as seen in EXAMPLE 1 B. When bringing your hearth to glass height it must be non-combustible for the first 7” extending from the glass before any combustible material can be used to finish the hearth.
- Page 76 16. Finishing around front of the fireplace Non-combustible finishing material (i.e. cement board, brick, stone, tile & minimum ½” inch Type X fire rated drywall) MUST be used to finish around the front of the appliance. Covered combustible material, can be used to finish around the fireplace, if the proper distance from the fireplace is maintained. Use example below to find proper distance.

CLEARANCES SPECIFICATION Non-Combustible Materials Specification Material which will not ignite and burn. Such materials are those consisting entirely of steel, iron, brick, tile, concrete, slate, glass or plasters, or any combination thereof. Materials that are reported as passing ASTM E 136, Standard Test Method for Behavior of Materials in a Vertical Tube Furnace at 750 ºC shall be considered non-combustible materials. -
Page 79: Mantel Clearance
MANTEL CLEARANCE Combustible mantel clearance can vary per the mantel size and location. Use chart and provided table for information on mantel install. Do not anchor any mantel or shelf to the fireplace. Only use metal studs above the fireplace as anchor points. Non-combustible mantels do not have a minimum clearance to the fireplace opening and can be brought as close to the glass as allowed by the frame of the fireplace. -
Page 80: Clearance To Sprinkler
CLEARANCE TO SPRINKLER In a situation where a sprinkler head is installed within proximity to a Heat Release, the diagram below MUST be followed. The distance between the sprinkler head & Heat Release opening cannot be less than 60” in length at every point from the origin of the Heat Release. -
Page 81: Heat Releases
HEAT RELEASES All Flare Fireplaces (both safety screen and double glass units) require heat releases for warm air to flow back into the room. This controls the temperature of the surrounding walls, keeping them relatively cool. Top Hot Release - The release/ outlet for hot airflow from the wall enclosure MUST remain OPEN. The outlet must be at the top part of the enclosure but not necessarily at the front, so long as the measurements below are maintained. -
