Fireplace Insert Facings and Surrounds

You don't have to let an inadequate surround or mediocre facing ruin the appearance of your fireplace insert. With our large collection of face plates, outer frames, and metal fronts you'll have no problem taking full advantage of your fireplace insert's natural charms. And, because some inserts require facing and a surround for installation, your investment can serve both a visual and practical function.

I am looking for either a fireplace facing or a surround for a squire. I need to know if you may have anything that may fit or know where I could look.
By Collin C. - NFI Master Hearth Professional on January 10, 2013

Answer:
The facings that we carry are intended for use with certain brands and models of fireplaces. I will be happy to check into the dimensions of one of the surrounds we carry, as it may be able to be retrofitted to your brand of insert. What are the dimensions of the firebox that the surround would encompass?

How do I determine what size face to purchase?
By Collin C. - NFI Master Hearth Professional on March 4, 2013

Answer:
The fireplace facings and surrounds that we carry are all intended to be used with specific models of fireplaces and inserts. You will definitely need to know that manufacturer name and model number of the fireplace to determine what parts will work with the unit. There should be a build tag or sticker with the unit, either just inside the opening at the left or right side, or in the void space beneath the firebox floor.

I have a regular brick fireplace that has a huge opening.-- about 49 wide by 32 high. I can't find glass doors to fit. Do you have a shroud or facade that would minimize the opening so I can use glass doors?

I have a Pacific Energy "super" insert. It's their midsize insert. But I'm not crazy about the surround. My fireplace opening is s bit high so I hit the jumbo size surround and it's just a monstrous wall of black metal. The fireplace itself is only a few inches wider than the stove. Can you point me toward some taller narrower options that would fit?
By Collin C. - NFI Master Hearth Professional on January 14, 2013

Answer:
Fireplace insert manufacturers produce their own line of surrounds that must be used with their specific products. Unfortunately, I do not carry a universal type of surround that would work with your insert. It is likely that your best option would be to purchase the larger surround that is offered by Pacific Energy and have the item modified by a local sheet metal fabricator. They will be able to cut and finish the surround to smaller dimensions that would better suit your needs. I apologize that I do not offer a surround that could work.

I am looking for a high efficiency wood fireplace insert for a 44" x 30" fireplace opening. The sides are recessed by 2", so I need a faceplate of exactly 30" high. I can find faceplaces of either 29" or 32" high but nothing 30" high.

I thought of getting a 32" faceplate and cutting it down but I'm not sure I could a good seal. Are their any adjustable faceplaces?
By Collin C. - NFI Master Hearth Professional on November 19, 2012

Answer:
Because fireplace insert manufacturers make their shrouds to exact measurements, it would be necessary to purchase a larger shroud and have it cut down to fit your needs. Achieving a tight seal against the fireplace opening is not necessary, as the insert's firebox is completely sealed and will vent into the chimney using a flexible liner. Some air interchange between the room air and air behind the flashing is normal.

My mom currently has a fireplace insert with cast iron doors and was wondering if there is a way to replace the cast iron doors with glass doors so that she can actually see the fire burning?
By Collin C. - NFI Master Hearth Professional on January 14, 2013

Answer:
Unless the manufacturer offers glass doors as an option, there will be no other way to make the fire viewable. Do you happen to know the manufacturer name and model number of the insert? Please let me know and I will be happy to check into this further.

We have a decorative gas fireplace that vents directly outside through the back wall. Very little heat comes through the glass. No fireplace masonry. We would like to replace it with a unit that will be decorative and provide heat during a power outage.

With no masonry, I assume that we need zero clearance sides to the firebox. The current unit looks to be 36 inches high by 36 inches wide and about 22 inches deep. We have about 12 inches of tile on the sides and top that we are planning to replace. Some of the units I have looked at required the masonry fireplace surround. I expect that I will be able to install this myself once I am able to figure out everything that we need.
By Tyler M. - Fireplace Specialist on October 31, 2012

Answer:
Yes, you would indeed need a zero clearance direct vent gas fireplace, and we have plenty of options in a 36" width size. Please see our full selection of zero clearance direct vent fireplaces and, once you have chosen a few that interest you, we would be happy to make a recommendation for your application.

I want to place a Dimplex electric firebox into an existing old fireplace. I will need a shroud to cover gaps above and both sides of openings. The fireplace measures 29.5W x 26H. Insert measures 27 3/8 x 23.5H. Do you have a shroud which would cover my openings?
By Tyler M. - Fireplace Specialist on February 1, 2013

Answer:
Unfortunately, we do not offer any shrouds for electric inserts or any universal surrounds for an application such as yours. We apologize for this inconvenience.

I need to replace the surround for my Majestic Gas Insert Fireplace Model RHEDV32RN. The dimensions of the glass viewing area of our unit are 28.75" wide by 13.5" tall and the dimensions of the firebox opening is 36" wide by 30 inches tall. Do you have anything that will fit this space?
By Tyler M. - NFI Certified Specialist on April 10, 2013

Answer:
Unfortunately, we do not offer anything for this model. All of our surrounds and trim kits are model-specific, only for use with current units we sell. We apologize for this inconvenience.

We bought a house with a gas fireplace, and the front face of it is just a hideous black with gold stripes going across. We would love to replace it, but we're not sure exactly what we need to do.

The front face is easily removable via two screws from the bottom. The firebox itself is about 5 or 6 inches off the ground, and the blowing unit and all the remote control switches and such are below. There is also about 3 inches of space on top where the air comes out, and it is recessed in the wall about 1/2 inch.
By Kevin E. - Fireplace Specialist on November 2, 2012

Answer:
We do offer a selection of fireplace surrounds and fronts. However, they are highly model specific. Please reply with the manufacturer name and model number of your fireplace, so we'll be better able to research a replacement fireplace surround.

What size shroud do we need for a 36" high, 40 1/2" wide Osburn 2400 Insert?
By Chris on April 17, 2013

Answer:
Being that the fireplace is 36" high, you would need to have an additional shroud fabricated to cover the distance from the medium sized 32" high shroud.
