What Is A Zero Clearance Wood Fireplace?
A zero clearance wood fireplace is a type of fireplace that can be installed in tight spaces without the need for masonry work or a traditional chimney. It is designed to have insulated walls to keep the heat from the fire from reaching any combustible material surrounding the fireplace. The firebox is surrounded by a metal shell which acts as a heat shield. These fireplaces can either be used for burning wood or converted to gas, and they are an efficient and safe heating option.
