Kamloops, BC – Firecast Fireplaces have achieved UL and ULC certifications for zero clearance of its full repair fireplace system; an innovative product for heritage home fireplace restoration safeguarding authenticity, safety, efficiency and heat. Now owners of heritage era home fireplaces have more choice.
The benefits of the Firecast system are threefold. First, the Firecast insert can replace historical fireplace fireboxes without compromising traditional aesthetics while ensuring the highest safety standards. Firecast’s zero clearance accommodates the traditional wood framing against firebox and chimney found in the construction of most heritage homes. Until recently, the only remedy was to install a gas unit or steel airtight wood burning insert into an old fireplace and chimney. Second, the Firecast system’s zero clearance means that fireplaces and chimneys are safe and code compliant. The certification of Firecast’s high-temperature, refractory fireplace insert means that an open wood burning fireplace can be retrofit into an existing masonry fireplace and chimney which make it not only safe but also protects the historical aesthetics of the homes’ fireplace. And third, Firecast fireplaces deliver cost-effective, clean burning heat.
Firecast Fireplaces’ fire box and optional stainless-steel smoke chamber is installed into the existing brick firebox and smoke chamber, coupled with a liner system tested to zero clearance. Max Kirton, Firecast Fireplaces president says, “Upon the completion of installation the owner is left with a brand-new fireplace insert maintaining the traditional appearance, ambiance and function of a wood burning fireplace and all the merits of safety and efficiency of the Firecast system”.
Firecast Fireplaces, manufactured in Vancouver, BC since 1981, are made of high-temperature, refractory materials. The Firecast system provides the most effective insert to maintain the traditional integrity, look and character of a home’s fireplace while providing a cost-effective, clean burning, safe heat source. The Firecast system increases the efficiency and enjoyment of conventional wood burning fireplaces with more heat, less fuel, and less smoke.
