You all well know that the fireplace is not a piece of furniture and therefore it cannot be built where you want. Rules require certain rules to arrange a fireplace.
So, if the area of the room is up to twenty square meters, and you want to place a fireplace there, then this is not realistic to do it. You will ask why?”, So such a small room will not be able to sufficiently provide an air flow in order to completely burn the fuel. But, if you still want to build a fireplace there, then you should make an additional flow of air, at least in the combustion zone.
You still need to take into account such a precaution as placing a fireplace outside the drafts zone. The location of the fireplace in the draft leads to the interruptions of the thrust and, of course, to a strong smoke. With such problems you will lose a calm life.
It is very bad if the fireplace is in the way of moving air flows, that is, regarding windows and doors. You can not put a fireplace opposite the entrance doors, windows, next to the stairs and in the corridor. In order for heat losses received from the fireplace to be minimal, the doors and windows should be insulated.
Most often, fireplaces are placed in the supporting inner wall of the house.
In this case, it takes up a minimum of space without taking away a useful area, and retains heat much longer. Best when the fireplace is fasting or built -in and is located in the middle of the wall.
It is not appropriate to have a fireplace at the outer, cold wall, since the smoke channel, in this case, should be located in the outer wall of the building, which leads to severe cooling of the smoke gases, t.e. heat loss, the craving in the fireplace decreases and the formation of condensate is possible and possibly.
If you, place a fireplace at the inner wall of the house, then you do not need to insulate the chimney. True, the flows of cold air, which move along the floor and walking towards the fireplace, can cause discomfort. Only the fireplace is deprived of such a shortage, since it is located in the center of the room, but the fireplace-focus takes up a large amount of space, and additional designs are required to fix the collection of smoke and chimney.
A fireplace located in the corner can heat three rooms at the same time. In this case, he will give little heat. The fireplaces located in the corner of the room are most aesthetic in nature.
The fireplace installed in the center of the room has the largest heat return, and the heat from it is distributed comprehensively and evenly. The island fireplace uses a lot of useful space consumed, so it is suitable only for those whose room area is very large. As a rule, the island fireplace is placed on a raise, and the convector, hangs down from the ceiling on springs or chains so that it is located above the firebox of the fireplace.
Pay attention to how you have a fireplace, its portal is turned into the center of the room, which is heated and access to the portal should not be fenced.
The fireplace can be placed on the terrace. Some owners set a fireplace in the gazebo, garden or other places of rest. But the only disadvantages of fireplaces located outside is that they are not used when the cold season, when a strong wind or thunderstorm.
If you install a fireplace on the veranda, then it can be separately standing, attached or built -in. They have it so that while by the fireplace, your face was turned into a garden, courtyard or a beautiful landscape.
The only thing where you can not install a fireplace is a fire hazardous place on the path of transport and the movement of people.
Building such fireplaces, much attention should be paid to the factor of the wind. A variable wind can cause the appearance of smoke. And then you need to build a protective wall, which must be associated with the design of the situation or room.
Of great importance for the inhabitants of the dwelling in which there is a fireplace, has equipment near it recreation area. Use chairs, banquets, couchs, sofas and coffee tables. All listed items should be selected depending on the area of the room in which the fireplace is placed.
For the recreation area by the fireplace, be sure to arrange additional, but not bright lighting, for example, a floor lamp or a suspended lamp. That is how you can create an island of comfort and prosperity.
