I bought my townhouse, new in 1991 direct from the builder. The fireplace came with the townhouse and is now 12 years old. Here is my problem, In the front left & right corners of the bottom of the fireplace where the floor of the fireplace and metal frame come together there is a gap of about 1/4 inch. It looks like the floor and the metal warped from the heat. It appears to me that the joints were never air tight and to me it looks like I should still be able to use the fireplace.
I talked to two fireplace salesmen and they tell I can't use the fireplace at all and it should be replaced at $6000.00
Plus. Can you help me out, can I use the fireplace? If I can't use it, can it be repaired or does it have to be replaced.
