I'm putting a ventless gas fireplace in my house it comes with gas logs and a firebox with a fan. I need to build a fireplace/hearth around it preferably out of faux stone, but i dont know where to begin. i would like to find some plans or instructions online. please help!
Hang on a minute.
As a HVAC professional, I must ask you to please reconsider a vent less fireplace.
Every day in America 1 to 10 people are killed by accidental carbon monoxide poisoning.
A gas appliance is one of the biggest producers of carbon monoxide, thus this is the biggest offender.
When you burn a fossil fuel, you have a by product, and need to vent it outside.
Check with your local building department in your town, or county.
And be safe first.
Where can i find plans for building a fireplace/mantel for a ventless gas firebox?

I did exactly what you are thinking of doing. I just wasted money and time. We knew we were getting fumes because of no vent AFTER it was all installed. Don't do it. We now have an electric fireplace.. NO RISK.
