Planning a linear fire feature in Fernandina Beach

On the mainland side of Fernandina Beach, newer communities have open backyards and builder patios that are ready to be extended. Downtown Fernandina's National Register historic district runs from the Amelia River waterfront through downtown. Behind an older home, the fire feature's materials are chosen to suit the house, from brick-toned block to natural stone.

Lighting in the caps and shelves makes a linear fireplace wall look finished even when the fire is off. Before we draw a linear fire feature in Fernandina Beach, we check the length that suits the seating, the view from the main seats and how the fire reads from inside the house.

DarkSky International recommends aiming outdoor lights downward with shielding, using timers or motion sensors, and choosing warmer colors where possible.

Approvals and Permits in Fernandina Beach

Fernandina Beach projects go to an HOA board, the Historic District Council or neither, depending on where the home is. We check first. For a linear fire feature, the board typically wants the location, the elevation of the wall and the materials. Confirm current guidelines with your association.

Many homes with a Fernandina Beach address, including newer communities on the mainland side, are in unincorporated Nassau County, while homes inside city limits are permitted by the City. We confirm your jurisdiction before we design, and a Notice of Commencement is required for most permitted projects. Every permitted structure gets its necessary engineered documents.
