Question:
Answers:
The fireplace was the main, perhaps only, means for the room to exchange air with the outside of the building. If you completely seal the fireplace then the room will be prone to condensation and then dampness. When rooms are found to be damp the solution is often to increase the flow of air by opening up a vent to the outside. The fireplace offers this venting do not seal it.
