Valcourt Lafayette IIS Square Wood Burning Fireplace — FP10RS
The Valcourt Lafayette IIS Square Wood Burning Fireplace combines refined elegance with advanced non-catalytic heating technology. Inspired by classic European design yet engineered for modern performance, this high-efficiency wood fireplace delivers powerful, clean-burning heat while maintaining a sleek square profile. Its upgraded combustion system maximizes warmth and efficiency, making it an ideal choice for homeowners seeking a sustainable and renewable wood heating solution.
Designed for customization, the Lafayette IIS Square allows you to tailor the look to your space with five faceplate louver options and decorative door overlays available in black or brushed nickel finishes. At 1.2 g/h of particulate emissions it sits well inside the EPA 2020 standard, and it heats 750 to 2,200 square feet from a 2.5 cubic foot firebox. Mechanically it is the same appliance as the arched Lafayette II — the difference is the square faceplate.

Framing Dimensions
Give these to your builder before framing. Note the alternate widths — a fresh air intake or a forced air distribution kit needs a considerably wider framed opening for a centred installation, and that has to be decided before the wall goes up:
| Framing width — standard |
37 3/4" (960 mm) |
| Framing width — with fresh air intake |
60 3/4" (1,543 mm) |
| Framing width — with forced air kit |
72 3/4" (1,848 mm) |
| Height to first header |
41 5/8" (1,057 mm) |
| Framing depth |
24 7/8" (632 mm) |
| Total framing height |
80" (2,032 mm) |
Clearances to Combustible Material
| Maximum mantel depth |
3" (76 mm) |
| Minimum mantel height above the door opening |
8" (203 mm) |
| Side wall, measured from the door opening |
13" (330 mm) |
| Minimum distance to the wall in front |
48" (122 cm) |
| Minimum ceiling height, measured from the base of the fireplace |
80" (2.03 m) |
| Enclosure — back, sides and floor beneath the fireplace |
0" (zero clearance) |
| Chimney clearance to combustibles |
2" (50 mm) |
| Minimum chimney height |
15' (4.6 m) from the base of the appliance |
The 3" maximum mantel depth is the figure most often missed on this model — a deeper decorative shelf is not permitted above the opening.
