Knight - Fireplace
Inspiration fireplace design. As we've discussed, I recommend adding a concrete mantle to limit heat exposure to the TV. - Knight’s: we agree on the mantle. We’ve settled on a 55” TV. Also, please note that we definitely want a hearth spanning the entire length of the fire place — maybe 12” out from the face. Darlene: Yes, agree. the hearth I've drawn does span the whole length of the fireplace as you requested. It is 14" deep with an overhang of 1.5".
Built into roof extension - back view. - Knight’s: is there a standard chimney-stack height? We don’t like how tall this is. Darlene: The chimney has to clear the roof line by a minimum of 2-feet. I have drawn the chimney at the minimum requirement - I totally agree the shorter the better in terms of chimney aesthetics. This is one reason why the fireplace is best situated where the roof-line at at its lowest point. the fireplace seating arrangement works best in this configuration as well, so it's a win-win.
