Prefab Chimney & Fireplace
A prefabricated fireplace, often called a "prefab" or "factory-built" fireplace, is a complete heating appliance constructed in a factory. 1 Unlike traditional masonry fireplaces built on-site from brick and mortar, prefab fireplaces are typically made of metal components and are designed for easier and faster installation.
Firewall Repair & Replacement
The firewall (or firestop) around your prefab unit acts as a critical heat barrier between the fireplace and your home’s walls. Over time, exposure to heat and settling can cause gaps, warping, or deterioration.
