Questions people ask us
Does the Matrix need a faceplate or overlay?
Osburn lists no required accessories for the Matrix insert. For a larger fireplace opening, faceplate backing plate kits and a 2" or 4" projection kit are optional, sold separately in the trims and fronts collection.
Is the blower included?
Yes, a 90 CFM blower comes with the insert.
Can the Matrix go in a factory-built fireplace?
No. Osburn states that its wood-burning inserts must only be installed inside an existing masonry fireplace with a lined masonry chimney, never in a factory-built (zero clearance) fireplace or any wooden or combustible structure.
What chimney liner does it need?
A continuous 6" liner from the insert to the top of the chimney, listed to UL 1777 in the US. The chimney must be at least 12 ft tall and the whole system at least 15 ft from the floor.
