The '2-10 rule' in fireplace installations refers to the required clearances from combustible materials. For gas fireplaces in Oregon, this means maintaining at least 2 inches of space from the sides and 10 inches from the top of the fireplace unit to any wood framing or other flammable surfaces. We ensure these clearances are met during every installation.
