Modern shiplap fireplace installation for Western North Carolina homes, framing efficient gas or electric hearths with clean, farmhouse-style paneling.
Professional Shiplap Fireplace Installation in Asheville & Western NC
Shiplap gives a fireplace that clean, modern-farmhouse look, horizontal boards running up a feature wall to a mantel and hearth. Steady Flame Fireplaces designs shiplap fireplaces that look effortless and, more importantly, stay safe around real heat. The key is clearances: wood paneling is combustible, so we plan the layout around the appliance's listed distances and use non-combustible materials wherever the code and the firebox demand it. The result is a warm, inviting wall that meets the standards the manufacturer set.
What's Involved
We frame the feature wall, install the firebox, and set proper non-combustible surrounds and hearth before the shiplap goes up, so the wood keeps a safe distance from the heat. As a licensed gas-piping contractor, we can run the gas or propane line and pull the permits North Carolina requires, then set a Napoleon, Kozy Heat, or Dimplex appliance to suit your fuel. We finish with paint-grade or stained boards and a mantel that ties the room together, giving you a stylish centerpiece that also delivers dependable, outage-proof heat when winter storms hit the mountains.
