The first step in building a custom barnwood fireplace is framing the area to ensure proper support for the fireplace insert. We begin by constructing a sturdy framework custom built to the chosen fireplace insert. For barnwood fireplaces we reccomend using and electric fireplace that is low heat but other types of fireplace inserts are able to be used as well. Once the framing is complete, we install fireproofing materials such as fire-rated insulation to protect surrounding areas from heat. After that, your fireplace insert vendor carefully positions and secures the fireplace insert and venting. then calls for inspection. Whether you're opting for a gas or electric unit, we make sure the installation meets all safety standards and local building codes. Our expertise as fireplace contractors ensures that each installation is precise and safe.

Before fully cloing it up we run electrical conduit for a TV mount if you plan to hang a television above the fireplace. This allows for a sleek, wire-free look. With the framing and fireplace insert in place, it's time to enclose the fireplace fully. Using fire-resistant material, we cover the framing to create a clean surface for the next steps. This fireplace insert required natural gas and called for a 1-foot fire resistant border around the fireplace insert. We adhered to this with cement board and heat resistant tile immediatly around the fireplace insert. Our fireplace contractors ensure that every step is handled with precision, so your custom barnwood fireplace is safe, functional and visually stunning.

Now that the base structure is complete, it’s time to install built-in shelves, cabinets, and a matching linen closet for added storage and visual appeal. Custom cabinetry not only provides practical storage solutions but also adds a cohesive design element that complements the fireplace. Built-in shelving on either side of the fireplace offers a great space to display books, decor, and personal items. Our team specializes in creating custom cabinetry that is both beautiful and functional, enhancing the overall look of your fireplace and living space.

Once the barnwood surround is installed, the next step is to add trim to give the fireplace a polished, finished look. Trim pieces should match the aesthetic of the barnwood while ensuring clean lines around the edges of the fireplace. After trimming, apply a high-quality wood sealer to the barnwood. This step is essential to protect the wood from wear, tear, and environmental factors while preserving its natural beauty. Our team uses only the best materials to ensure your barnwood fireplace will last for years to come.

With the construction complete, your new barnwood fireplace is ready for decorating! Hang your TV above the mantel, or display artwork, candles, or family photos on the built-in shelves.
