Re: Fireplace - insulation plate crack

A cracked insulation plate is a common downside of pre-manufactured or pre-cast fireplaces. Once a crack develops, your choices are very limited. However, sometimes a fireplace insert can be installed along with a metal flue liner, which would be less expensive than full replacement. This is not always feasible, so check with the original manufacturer (if known) or your local building inspector. Just so you know you're not alone, see the following article from the Los Angeles Times on this very subject:
