Vents: Why are vents required

Fresh Air:

A fresh air inlet is required for all fireplaces. In the case of a built in or insert type fireplace, the fresh air vent must allow fresh air from outside the home to enter the cavity where the fireplace is installed. In the case of a freestanding fireplace, the fresh air vent must allow fresh air from outside the home into the room where the fireplace is installed. Ideally immediately behind the fireplace as to not cause a draft. Alternatively as close to the side of the fireplace as possible. Try not to fit the vent on opposite walls from the fireplace as this will again cause a draft in the room.

Heat exchange vents / warm air circulation vents:

In the case of a built in / insert fireplace, these vents must be placed above and below the fireplace to allow hot air within the built cavity to be released into the living space. The below vent will naturally draw cooler air into the cavity where the fireplace will warm the air. As the air heats up, it will naturally rise and by a seal within the cavity, be forced out through the top vent into the living space. This process provides massive additional heat into the room and also helps prevent overheating inside the cavity that will result in cracked walls.
