I am limited on space in my living room. Do you have any installation suggestions?

Absolutely. Enviro direct vent gas fireplaces can be installed in virtually any room (bedroom, bathroom and even mobile homes), or between rooms with ease. In addition, by installing the fireplace in a corner less space is utilized. We offers cabinets for flat wall, and corner installation applications.

What does the fireplace term zero clearance mean?

Zero clearance simply means "0" inches are required between the fireplace and combustible materials. Therefore, framing dimensions are dramatically minimized - allowing the unit to be placed right up against interior or exterior walls. Because there are no restrictions on clearance requirements needed around the unit itself, the unit can be placed right up to an interior or exterior wall for a tight fit. However, we do recommend a 1/4" space for expansion space. (When metal heats, it will expand.)
