What To Know About Wood-Burning Fireplaces

The open-masonry style of fireplace is what most people think of when considering installing a wood-burning fireplace. Some of these fireplaces have inserts — sealed fireboxes — that make open-style fireplaces more energy-efficient.

Some wood-burning fireplace styles are venting fireboxes themselves; they’re framed into a wall and don’t need a chimney.

Here are some terms and facts about wood-burning fireplaces:

• Catalytic (double-burn): Reburns gases/particulates using catalytic combustor
• Hybrid (triple-burn): Reburns gases/particulates twice; once with super-heated air and once with a catalytic combustor
• Non-catalytic (double-burn): Reburns gases/particulates by mixing with super-heated air
• Regular combustion (single-burn): Traditional open fires; campfires/open-masonry fires
• EPA-certified: Intended as a heat source and must meet U.S. energy efficiency and emissions standards
• EPA-exempt: Decorative-only and used for occasional ambiance

Quality, reliability and knowledgeable service aren’t luxuries. They’re our priority. Our wood-burning fireplaces will enhance your lifestyle.
