How To Measure Your Fireplace

A few easy measurements and photos to bring on your first visit (totally optional!)

Last updated on 05 Oct, 2026

We make it easy! You don't need to measure a thing to get started. Our technicians always take exact measurements at your home before anything is ordered.

But if you'd like to bring a little information with you on your first visit, these few things help us show you options that fit your space right away.

A few helpful measurements

  • Width of the fireplace opening, across the front

  • Height of the opening, from the floor of the firebox to the top

  • Depth, from the front of the opening to the back wall

  • Back width (many fireplaces get narrower toward the back)

Our printable guide below shows exactly where to measure. And if the tape measure isn't cooperating, no worries. A rough idea is plenty!

Snap a few photos

  • Your fireplace, including the mantel and the flooring around it

  • Your chimney, from outside

  • Your whole house, from the street

Photos help us picture your space, see how your chimney runs, and suggest styles that suit your home.
