In a Masonry Fireplace:
Before installing your Firenzo Insert it is important to check the condition of your masonry chimney.
Ensure any cracks are sealed, loose masonry repaired and the chimney swept. Check the
dimensions of your fireplace opening. Firebricks may need to be removed and the floor of the
opening should be level using mortar if necessary. Ensure any gaps between the chimney face and
fireplace surround are sealed with heat resistant material.
