Covid-19

As the on-going global pandemic Coronavirus (COVID-19) continues to unfold, we want you to know that the well-being of our customers and Nordic team members is our top priority. Following the lead of the town and state we’ve made the decision to temporarily close our storefront business effective Tuesday March 17th at 5pm.
During this time service work and installations will be on hold but you may email us with questions — Martha and I will be monitoring emails and will respond to them as quickly as possible.
If you need any of our products (fireplace or barbeque items) please email us. We will take the order over the phone and set up a time for curbside pickup.
We have decided to be proactive in this role in an effort to keep our customers, our staff and our community safe. Precautionary measures hopefully make a difference to the current situation.
The coronavirus pandemic has brought on a lot of stress, anxiety, uncertainty, opinions and misinformation. Businesses are struggling and some won’t make it. People will lose their jobs and many already have. Many are sick, will get sick, or worse. And right now, many are feeling isolated.
We are all put on this earth to help each other out. Keep that in mind. Be kind to each other and try to understand what others are dealing with. We will make it through this together.
Stay healthy. Be safe.
Scott & Martha

Wood Fireplaces

There is nothing quite like a fire in the fireplace to stir the soul and warm the heart. Contrary to what you might think, you do not need a professional mason or a large investment to add a fireplace to your home.   There are however, several different types of fireplaces to choose from.  Factory-built or zero clearance fireplaces, high efficiency units, clean burning open fireplaces, and brick or stone masonry units.

Factory-built fireplaces are pre-constructed and ready to be framed into virtually any room in your home. Basically, factory-built (commonly referred to as "zero-clearance") fireplaces are metal fireboxes with an insulated cabinet built around them. Spacers allow them to be installed against wooden framing materials and on combustible floors. A metal chimney attaches to the top of the unit and runs to the top of the building.

High efficiency wood burning fireplaces heat like a stove, and are installed like a pre-fab fireplace.  They have gasketed doors, controlled combustion air, and allow the option of dumping extra heat into other nearby rooms.  The fireboxes are smaller than a conventional fireplace but will provide 75% heating efficiency compared to about 12% with an open fireplace.  Many options are available with these types of units including face / surround options, blowers, door design, and more.
