Vitaly Lviv fireplace - this is the most ancient elements of the home. He began to take shape as early as the Neolithic Age as a circle of stones, "frame" for the fire, on which ancient people cooked their own food. Fireplace becomes recently very popular. Nice to ignite fire in bad weather inhabitant of modern comfortable apartment, and even better - in a comfortable "summer house" or rural living. Fireplaces are becoming increasingly popular, not only because it is a fad. They provide an opportunity to make our home cozy and personal, they will decorate it and give you an opportunity not to depend on the whims of nature or of public utilities. Modern fireplaces are not only beautiful but an excellent job of keeping heat in the house and can be useful in solving many other problems. Device Technology fireplace came to Russia from Europe and the fashion to sit by the open fire densely rooted in our soil already in the eighteenth century. In this case, calculation and installation of fireplaces, as a rule, engaged in foreign masters. Our Ivan was a good lay down the famous Russian stove - a nurse, a subtle matter to go there was no need. Therefore, the Russian tradition of "kaminologii" is still somewhat different from overseas and do not always correspond to the preparatory work in a scientifically sound requirements. There are several types of fireplaces: classic, carved fireplaces in the Art Nouveau style limestone fireplaces. Classical fireplaces peculiar bright geometric shapes, rationalistic ordering, monumental simplicity and clear harmony, restrained decor and expensive, high-quality materials carved fireplaces peculiar symmetry, harmony, strict adherence to the proportions, the game of light and shade, decoration anatomical sculptures and reliefs. Fireplaces in Art Nouveau style are based on the total rejection of the old principles of architectural design. Their walls are covered are not formed, it would seem, no fancy patterns, asymmetrical shapes, whimsical writhing lines. Now, thinking about the fireplace in your home, preferably in the initial period of construction to invite a specialist. This will help later to avoid unnecessary waste of time and money, and the specialists of our company will help you make the right choice. Fireplace consists of several components is a chimney, fireplace either open or closed itself facing. In order for your fireplace is working well and please you and your friends need her beauty very seriously the chimney. In the initial period has already laid with the architect and designer fireplace that will stand in this place, but here goes chimney. It is advisable to put a chimney fire in a warm part of the building and close to the ridge. After these approvals, you can choose himself a fireplace. By selecting a fireplace, experts on the installation prompt, a section shall be the chimney. Argued that the fire in the house is destined to be in a designated fire room. This is an obvious error, both in terms of architecture and interior design. Fireplace organically fits into any space - from kitchen to bedroom, in fact, the house may be several fireplaces. Originally stylish fireplaces made of glass and metal are the direct expression of a new time, located in the interiors of public buildings: banks, offices, etc. Now this trend is changing, as the use of the latest achievements harmonized the fireplace in any environment. It's very interesting to consider various options: when the same model of the fireplace is located in the interiors of different styles and looks organic. To do this quite a bit - show imagination and creativity. First: make small changes to the basic model. Second: to date, the company producing contemporary fireplaces, offering so many technically innovative solutions that the threshold is impossible to recede. Element number 1 - Chimney theater starts with a hanger, a fireplace with a chimney. Before you choose a model needs to be done serious preparatory work and without expert advice can not do. So the first recommendation to those who decided to get a fireplace, start to think and plan the chimney once that is called dance of the stove. After all, the fireplace - it's a whole organism, which can not be neglected if you want to have him "alive." So the first thing to take care of - it's about proper design and location of the chimney. He was in the fireplace serves as the lungs, he was responsible for proper air circulation. If a building already constructed, it is desirable to place on the "fact" to examine the existing chimney. Specialist should make a conclusion on its suitability and make recommendations on the compatibility of the chimney with the fireplace design selected, identify gaps and ways to overcome them. If the house is not even it exists only on the plan - a task easier: in conjunction with an architect to lay the project exactly the design that best blends with the selected fire, materials used and the wallet of the future owner. General rules to be followed when planning a fireplace and chimney are as follows. First of all, it is important to immediately determine the wall where the fireplace will be installed. Well, if it is possible to place the chimney in a warm part of the building, but still close to the ridge. And if not? Certainly allowed to have a chimney in the outer wall and away from the ridge, you should only take into account all the negative factors inherent in this decision. First of all, the channel chimney must not freeze in winter - the outer wall of the chimney (or all of its wall at free-standing structures) should be thicker and have more effective insulation than the flue channel, which is located inside the heated space. Failure to do so will entail a number of troubles, which may eventually cause a complete disappointment and reluctance to use the fireplace. Smell and cold air from the non-working fireplace, a lack of traction, dymlenie and difficulty in firing, can cool the enthusiasm of even the most ardent fan of the fireplace. In terms of our Russian climate chimney should lay the inner wall of the house. Investigating the flue should not be ignored quality, shape and material of which made its inner walls. The surface of the walls made of a refractory and acid resistant materials, it should be smooth and vertical. Optimal shape - round, a little worse - a square with rounded corners. Selected form the channel cross section should be followed throughout its height, narrowing and bends can ruin the whole thing. Wake-up call when assessing the state of the channel and the suitability of the chimney should be considered the following facts: - the presence of several oblique sections of the chimney - the existence of the site at an angle from the vertical more 45grad - extruded into the lumen of the channel mortar (for constructions made of bricks) - protruding into the channel Concrete slabs fragments intercommunication floors or metal fittings - insufficient removal of combustible building structures on the inner walls of the channel - a suspected partial absence of the tightness of the flue - the existence of any communications in dangerous proximity to the chimney - a dubious headband waterproofing chimney. Not just any high-quality brick suitable for laying brick chimney channel - only full-bodied clay, burnt. Achievement of new technologies have enhanced the range of materials for the chimney, which successfully pushed the once exclusive brick. Chimneys on stainless steel produced by different manufacturers and are very popular in modern construction. On this there is good reason: the optimal shape of the channel, high corrosion and temperature resistance, smooth walls, light weight and durability. Few shortcomings - relatively high price and low self-supporting ability. Range of offers on these products is divided into insulated chimneys - the "sandwich" and "hot" pipe. The word "sandwich" is commonly understood structure, consisting of round metal chimney, placed inside a special fireproof insulation, which in turn is inside the outer metal tube. Inside the pipe move the heated products of combustion, and that the internal pipe takes up the main impact of high temperatures and chemically aggressive compounds. Material for her - a quality stainless steel. Thermal insulation is also not simple, it is not only non-flammable and has low thermal conductivity, but it does not emit fumes and gases under the action of high temperatures, which could jeopardize the health or comfort. These tubes are available either in the form of a broad set of various items, sufficient for the assembly of a chimney, or made to order for a specific project. Hot pipes are divided into "hard" and "flexible." "Hot" rigid pipe - a metal chimney without insulation. It can be useful when installing one or several chimneys, for example, within an existing stone or a mine, the walls of which are not suitable for direct contact with fire and combustion products or do not provide integrity. "Hot" flexible pipe can be called universal, since they allow to carry out removal of gases from the furnace without the use of different rotary designs and intermediates, and also come with pieces up to 30 meters! The special postmark will help secure and tightly connect a pipe to a cast-iron firebox or brick chimney of the building. Good manufacturer guarantees a long service life of these pipes, even if fuel is not only wood, but coal, gas or diesel fuel. Fireplace or stove work properly when inside the furnace are provided with appropriate conditions: discharge for closed chambers and the rate of gas movement to open. The minimum height of a chimney fire about 5,5 meters from the burning surface to the mouth of the chimney. But one condition for height is not enough, there is not a simple relationship between the shape and cross-sectional area chimney height and the geometrical parameters of the fireplace hearth. Errors in the evaluation of all conditions can cause poor performance fireplace - dymlenie, the difficulty of ignition, etc. If the chimney is short and for some reason it can not be done earlier, but he has a sufficient cross-section, you can install a forced smoke. It is installed on top of the chimney, and a turbine with electric drive. The turbine, in turn, activated from the premises. Such a device will compensate for the shortcomings of the height, and sometimes cross the channel chimney. The chimney is much higher than the norm can be frustrating user closed the fireplace hearth. This creates a chimney is so high negative pressure inside the chamber that fire can not be adjusted to the slow-burning. Even with fully enclosed air intake ducts to the furnace (it is the podduvale), wood will be burned up quickly. In such cases, set the stabilizer rod. Once adjusted, it works automatically. Due to the strong low pressure at the bottom of the chimney damper it reopened, and cool the indoor air is mixed into the hot exhaust gases moving through the chimney. In addition to height is very important to determine the size and shape of the chimney. In practice, the narrowed section of the channel is very common, which limits the possible choice of the furnace or cause poor performance of the existing furnace. On the question for the builders: why was chosen this or that section, or form more common to hear the answer: "as we always do ..." The shape and cross-sectional area channels, primarily affect the capacity of the chimney, that is, the amount of gaseous products of combustion, which can pass through this cross section per unit time at a particular vacuum. Accurate view of the internal friction of gases let the fluid dynamics involved and the specialist should be aware that in most cases, the rate of flue gases inside the chimney, usually less than 5 m / s, and a working open fireplace consumes air from the room at a rate of about 0.5 m / s entering the chamber. Should not be upset, however, if you are installing a chimney is not possible. Fireplace with electric heating elements look just as good. He warms and serves as an excellent decoration element. Moreover, in an electric version of the firm can produce any model of a wood fire. Special lighting the hearth and chimney to the ceiling create the illusion of classical wood fire, causing genuine confusion in your guests: as in a normal city apartment managed to install it? Element number 2 - Furnace Furnace - a place where there is a fire, is not as wild, not as unpredictable as in the ancient hearth. A new fire, carefully tamed and awakened to life in the modern world. He still creates an atmosphere of coziness and comfort, allows you to relax and feel at home. Furnaces in the main are of two types - open and closed. Open - just a niche of refractory bricks or ceramic blocks. Fireplaces with open fires began to be used for heating long before the furnace. Open hearth for fireplaces can be lined with a refractory brick or ceramic blocks. Heating capacity of the open fireplace is no more than a campfire. Heating occurs only when the burning firewood. Fireplaces, equipped with an open furnace, heat from the radiant energy released by an open fire. Efficiency of the open fireplace is not more than 20%. Efficiency small due to the fact that the fireplace is working with the free access of air, and most of the heat escapes just in the chimney. And also because of the refractory bricks, which gives off heat is much worse than cast iron or metal. When you install a fireplace with open fires must be taken into account floor area, which establishes a fireplace. Open fires must be made of high quality and smooth refractory bricks. Install an outdoor fireplace best left to professionals. If improperly installed, and possibly getting smoke in the room which stain not only the mantel, but also your entire interior. If the fireplace is installed properly, then the fire will burn only the back wall. Fireplaces with a closed furnace can be either cast iron or metal. Depending on the model of the furnace can be one or four sides with glass. Glass in the furnace of a special quartz can withstand temperatures up to 800 degrees. Using a cast-iron fireplace firebox you greatly increase heat loss and heat a room much easier. Heat transfer from the furnace depends on its size and weight. The greater the mass, the more iron in it, and hence more surface area for heat transfer. Many furnaces presented in our market already have built-in damper (damper) is a positive factor in the selection. Just fireplace inserts can be opened only in the side and opening up and away and up. Fireplace inserts, opening up have a special device, the counterweight with his Wake the door is very easy. Solution of some problems can be regarded as replacing the open hearth furnace cast iron, with a transparent door made of special glass. Tightly closes the door securely protect the wooden floor of the "firing" coal and mischievous kid does not throw up in flames your slippers. I wanted to relax by the open fire - please: current models of furnaces have a mechanism to lift the protective door and hide it in the "body" of the fireplace. When closed, the burning rate of wood can be adjusted, firewood spent economically, and a fireplace heat releases more. Box of ashes, hidden inside the furnace, will facilitate the procedure of restoring order. Fuel type originally intended design fireplace. There are fireplaces in gas, liquid or solid fuels. Should always be strictly guided by the instructions and use only the manufacturer admitted fuels. Than stoke the fireplace? This article will look at what you can sink the most common solid fuel fireplaces. As fuel for the fireplace, you can use wood briquettes from brown coal and peat, and coal and anthracite, which has a high calorific value and yielding little soot. Buying firewood, choose varieties depending on the species of trees. For hard rocks carry firewood from deciduous trees (oak, ash, hawthorn, yew, birch, hazel). Most of them are hard to crack and melt, but they all have a high calorific value, have a long flame. It is well suited for fireplaces with a larger fuel hole.

Should always be strictly guided by the instructions and use only the manufacturer admitted fuels. Than stoke the fireplace? This article will look at what you can sink the most common solid fuel fireplaces. As fuel for the fireplace, you can use wood briquettes from brown coal and peat, and coal and anthracite, which has a high calorific value and yielding little soot. Buying firewood, choose varieties depending on the species of trees. For hard rocks carry firewood from deciduous trees (oak, ash, hawthorn, yew, birch, hazel). Most of them are hard to crack and melt, but they all have a high calorific value, have a long flame. It is well suited for fireplaces with a larger fuel hole. Softwood inherent low calorific value, it does not spark, creating a characteristic crackling, throwing embers from the open hearth, and quickly consumed. Heat of combustion of wood is very dependent on its moisture content. For example, during the combustion of 1 kg of dry pine wood stands 4,500 kcal, with a moisture content of wood 30% - 3250 kcal, 50% - 2050 kcal. Humidity cut wood is 50-55%, and only after 1-2 years storage timber in the open air humidity decreases to 25%, and in a warm room - up to 15%. That is why cooked for firewood is desirable to make the house in advance and let them wait in the wings near a chimney fire in a niche-Log holders, prudently designed in many models of fireplaces. Just fleeting fiery life of over-dried wood. Firewood with an optimum moisture those lay under a canopy in woodpile from year to year and a half. But the wood of ash and birch trees are lit, even raw. Fuel from alder and aspen burns without soot formation, and even burn it out of the chimney. Birch logs are good for heat but give a lot of soot. Very pleasant scent create burning boughs of cherry, apple and juniper. In addition, you can get the flame with "drawing", using the stumps and roots, as well as "paint" the flame, for which there are various supplements and solutions, which were impregnated wood. Normal salt gives the flame a bright yellow color, and copper chloride - shades of green and blue. It should be borne in mind that you only need to heat the chimney air-dried logs with a maximum humidity of 15%, only then they will burn with no emissions of harmful substances and give great warmth. Prior to burning firewood must lie in well-ventilated, dry place not less than 1,5 years, it is better - 2-3 years. Store firewood is best under a canopy of shade or in a shed - woodsheds with adequate ventilation. If we add the cross-shaped wood crates, they will be kept best. Be stowed svezhezagotovlennye firewood in the basement. There, they not only dry but also zaplesneveyut. Only very dried wood can be moved into the basement well ventilated area. Never cover the logs with plastic wrap. Firewood drying needed skvoznyachok. Useful Tips A few days after you place your order for installation of a fireplace or stove. But workers have already finished laying, remove garbage, your kitchen or bathroom began to look comfortable. Want to quickly flood the fire, stretched in an armchair or sofa. But wait ... After finishing masonry joints in the stove is a lot of moisture, which should be gradually removed. Otherwise, if you immediately begin to use the stove in full force, with high probability it can be argued that its walls will crack. First 2-3 days of oven to dry the natural way: open up all the bolts, door damper, forming a draft. Then you can perform the first firing, which lasts a short time - 20-30 minutes. Tourniquet chips or paper. This was repeated for several days, gradually increasing its duration. In addition, for a long time, it should leave open the chimney and possibly dig into the house windows and doors wide open. Of course, this is possible in good weather, the warm season. Depending on the design of your stove or fireplace, drying them can last from one to three weeks. The furnace can be considered dried when on the outer surfaces remained moist places, and the valves no moisture. Heating furnace quality depends not only on the material of which it consists, but also on how well it operates owners. If you do not use the oven for a long time, say, did not live in the winter at the cottage, you must first check the chimney and the presence of thrust. Thrust in the oven should not be excessive. When wood combustion, the flue damper gradually cover, thereby reducing the traction, but the smoke did not go into the room. Blinding white light of the flame indicates the excess thrust, and the dark red of her shortcomings. High humidity affects the wood burning. Therefore, their pre-dried. Stack firewood into the firebox to a Prozorov and so as to to the top of the fire remained no less than 20 cm can not overheat the oven - in the lining and masonry will crack. Only when above the layer of the remaining coal is not a blue-blue flame burner is considered complete. After 5-10 minutes, you can tightly close all doors and latches. Where to place the fireplace? Stove should be placed in the way of possible drafts. At the same time, the room needed access the oxygen it needs for combustion. Better if the room with a fireplace - not less than 20 meters. Since the weight of the fireplace in the gathering - from 700 to 1300kg, the floor beneath it must be of sufficient strength to mandatory concrete screed. Moreover, we must be adjusted so that the fireplace was on the level of pure sex. Need to lean against the wall was made of fireproof materials, and there were no communications. When the wall - outside, its thermal insulation. To do this, use a special material - mineral wool covered with foil. It does not melt, not burn, with a strong heat does not emit harmful substances. For each type of fireplace is a project of lean against the wall. If you put a fireplace in a wooden house (where the floors are also made of wood) and he has a lean against the wall, in this case can not be done under a separate fireplace foundation. Since the separate motions of the bases fireplace and lean against the wall at home bias associated with the foundation of the house, can cause destruction of the fireplace. In this case, a wooden floor with an iron reinforcing profile. Depending on what area (or rather, cubic content) will have to heat the room, choose a fireplace with a furnace of a power. In order to best choose the size and power of the fireplace in accordance with the size of the room, can be useful, such figures: If you know the power of fire in kilowatts, then proceed on the basis that 1 kW provides domestic fuel are 10 sqm area. Area Portal fireplace must be equal to approximately 1 / 50 floor area. Too big fireplace, where it does not burn, will vystuzhivat room through the chimney and cause drafts. Too small fire does not warm the room. To improve the efficiency of the fireplace is very important that the area of ??the inner surface of the chimney teplovosprinimayuschey furnace for the size of the furnace. Otherwise, if this area is insufficient, the heat will go into the chimney underutilized. And when too much surface area chimney flue gas temperature is too low, and this will cause condensation in the chimney. The result - reduced traction and gradual deterioration of the chimney. More accurate calculations will help you make the company's experts. Paul fireplace and base the portal should be above floor level. This will reduce the influence of convection currents in a room on the burning fuel. The area of ??the fireplace hearth is usually a section of the chimney 0.7 - 0,1 - 0,15 square portal. To fire worked well, all of its elements should be linked to numerical harmonious relations. When working fireplace is a constant circulation of air inside it. Heated in the furnace air, rising upward, causing reactive thrust, when a special slot and Log holders cold air enters the furnace. And, in turn - is also heated. Cast Iron Radiator (outer surface furnace gives off heat) can increase efficiency furnace. The air in contact with the radiator heats up and through a special metal grill in the shell fire in the environment. Sometimes, these lattices have the blinds to control the flow of warm air coming into the room. The greater the heat sink temperature, the faster the air flow. Heatsink is not smooth and ribbed. Edges are needed to increase the cooling surface. Some furnaces at the outlet has a special valve, whose position can be changed by the drive - cable. If you close this valve, the hot air for longer stays in the oven, and more heat will get into the room. Other furnace flame is regulated only by the bottom flap blowing air. Normally, the furnace attached to the chimney with steel pipes. Now the French offer for this purpose, flexible corrugated stainless steel (an alloy of zirconium that emphasize the strength of product). They can make all the connections more tight and easier to work with them. If you can not afford conventional fireplace, you also have a good option - buy electric. Now comes a lot of beautiful models, imitating a real fire. Such fireplaces are particularly useful in a city apartment and can even heat your you. Their power is 2 kW. The special wiring they require and are included in the regular grid. If you put the electric heater in the veneer of natural stone or wood, it is even difficult to distinguish it from the fire, which plays a "live" fire. A significant role in the selection of the fireplace has its price. Of course, it's pretty expensive. But do not forget that you are buying a fireplace for many decades, the reliability of its work depends not only on your health and lives. And cheap - well not exist. Installation of the fireplace at home at the customer's costs from $ 1000 to $ 1600 (depending on the complexity of construction of the fireplace). This includes work and a mounting kit, which costs about $ 600 (insulation, drywall, specials. Glue and sealant, the reinforcing fibers for bonding pieces of stone cladding). Assembling the fireplace typically takes 3 days. Our advice - do not try to save on the installation of the fireplace if you have already decided to spend the money to purchase it, invite experts to build the fireplace and will serve you faithfully for many years.
