Product Overview
Introduction
Thank you for choosing Burntech® Fireplace Solutions for
your masonry fireplace needs.
Rest assured that every component of the Fireplace has
been tested to ensure long-term durability.
Product Overview
Burntech® Fireplaces are designed as factory-built blocks
to be assembled on-site. These fireplaces may be installed on
either combustible or non-combustible floors. In order for the
fireplace to be installed on a combustible floor though (TFS
models only), it is necessary that the fireplace be supported
on a platform or sub-floor that is non-combustible.
The Four Components of the Burntech® Fireplace:
Combustible or Non-Combustible Floor (TFS models only)
Non-Combustible Raised Platform (optional)
Burntech® Masonry Fireplace

If asked, advise the local authorities that the Burntech®
Fireplace is designed for installation per the National Fire
Protection Association Standard for Chimneys, Fireplaces,
Vents and Solid Fuel-Burning Appliances (NFPA211).
When choosing the location of your Burntech® Fireplace,
keep in mind you must maintain 2” (two inches) minimum
clearance from left, right and rear of Fireplace to surrounding
structure. Also, when choosing a location, consider outside air
requirements to determine if it will be on the left or right side
of the Fireplace. In the case of an island installation, outside
air accessibility may be obtained through sub flooring. See
section on Installing Outside Air on page 28.
