Planning questions.

When should we involve Dean’s?

Share the project early enough to review product options alongside the room layout, opening and installation plan.

What should we send for a product review?

Send the room layout, project location, preferred fireplace style and planned timeline. Photos and dimensions of an existing opening are helpful for renovation projects.

Where do we confirm clearances and venting?

Use the current installation manual for the selected model. Our team can help identify the relevant product documentation for review.

Let’s review your project.

Tell us what you’re designing. Include the location, fireplace style and stage of the project so our team can follow up with relevant options.
