Is heat resistant caulk required where the flue penetrates the roof deck (approx. 7' from firebox)?
1 Answer
The vent pipe should have the proper clearance as it passes the roof deck, and this should be void space with no material - the underside penetration can be flashed with sheet metal and the top side is covered by a roof flashing (mounted to the roof deck under the shingles). The clearance requirement will depend on the manufacturer and model of the fireplace and chimney/vent pipe you are installing.

How often do you have to replace gas fireplace logs? thx.
1 Answer
For the ceramic fiber log material offered with the lower-priced log sets, this material will break down over time and require replacement in roughly 5-10 years. For the higher-tier refractory ceramic logs, these will last a lifetime.
