Go Ahead—Frame & Finish with Wood.

The Passive Heat Flex system efficiently redirects heat away from the top of the fireplace to ensure safe installation in various framing applications. A sheet metal topper captures rising heat, which is then transferred through DuraFlex ducting to the passive heat flex box where it recirculates back into the room through our standardized louvered release.

This system helps maintain proper clearances while allowing you to frame and finish around the fireplace with combustible materials, ensuring both safety and design flexibility.
