Most owners of private houses dreamto establish a stylish, romantic and cozy piece of interior - a fireplace, the dimensions of which largely depend on what function it will perform - heating or decorative.
A living fire conceals in itself not only beauty, but also a high probability of a fire, so the laying of the fireplace must be preceded by careful calculation.
A full-fledged source of heat (even auxiliary, rather than basic) often serves as a fireplace. Dimensions of this heating structure for a room, the area of which is 20 m2, the following:
The sectional area and height of the chimney are notless important values that require a separate and especially careful calculation. A fireplace, the dimensions of which are calculated incorrectly, can pose a real threat to human health and life, which lies in the possibility of getting into the room of combustion products and carbon monoxide. The optimal ratio of the area of the chimney and the fuel hole is 1/10, however, the standard size of the fireplace is not an axiom, since individual individual calculations require each individual case.
Камины дровяные – это конструкции, у которых often and with pleasure gather all the members of the family during the cold autumn and winter evenings. The sound of crackling firewood and the sight of dancing flames inevitably create a unique atmosphere of tranquility and coziness. Real fireplaces made of bricks are not a cheap pleasure, therefore many home craftsmen have a desire to do this work themselves. Of course, this lesson can not be called simple, but if everything is done in accordance with the rules, the result will necessarily be positive.
The fireplace includes the following mandatory components:
The size of each element must have the necessary ratio with the dimensions of the heated room.
For example, the area of the combustion chamberrelative to the total area of the room should be 1:50. In this case, the height and width are related as 2: 3, and the depth and height of the furnace varies from 1: 2 to 2: 3.
The largest influence on the size of the smoke holeit has a furnace area. The required level of thrust can be ensured as follows: the area of the furnace should be 8-15 times larger than the sectional area of the chimney. In this case, if a round pipe is planned for installation, a smaller cross-section can be chosen than if the chimney were square or rectangular.
Wood fireplaces are best constructed of red, full-bodied fireclay bricks.
In addition, you will need:
Also you need to buy:
Before starting to build a home, you need to take care of a separate foundation. The depth of the excavation should be 60 cm, and the width of 10 cm exceeds the dimensions of the future base.
The bottom should be covered with rubble and carefully punched to maintain horizontality.
Next, you need to make the formwork, for which you need wooden boards. For waterproofing, you need to buy roofing material or tar.
Installed formwork must be filled up with brokenbrick, stones or rubble, and then pour thoroughly diluted cement mortar. The top of the foundation should be leveled and checked for horizontality. After 7 days, you can start building a fireplace.
Before the construction of such a usefulinvention, as a fireplace, the dimensions of which were determined by us earlier, it is necessary to provide waterproofing. This will require a roofing material, laid in 2 layers. Laying should start from the corners. In this case, you need to constantly monitor the level. To give the design an original appearance, you can perform the laying of the bottom row on the edge, and all subsequent - flat. External solid rows require the use of a trowel or trowel. The firebox or firebox should be performed manually, as this facilitates the detection of small pebbles in the solution.
Важно помнить, что при возведении дымосборника и firewood stove-fireplace requires removal of excess solution with a damp cloth. We must not forget that the inner wall is not subjected to plastering. The seam must necessarily be thin, otherwise it can quickly crack. Modern fireplaces need a bandage of seams for half a brick in each row.
The lining of the firebox and the outer wall should not be connected, otherwise, due to frequent temperature changes, a masonry violation may occur.
Every person is pleased to hear the soundcrackling wood and feel the heat of the flame. Similar feelings can be enjoyed not only in nature, but also in your own home. To make dreams come true are fireplaces made of bricks. The main tasks of this equipment are not only the creation of comfort and coziness in the home, but also its heating.
Modern fireplaces can consume as fuel:

Fireplace heating requires suchaccessories like poker, tongs, ash scoop and grill. True, modern society is paying much more attention to the emotional and psychological role of this structure. That is why the fireplace is not recommended to be installed in a small room, at the door or in the aisle. Ideal - comfortable chairs, located in a spacious room, a special stand for equipment and a neat little bench under your feet.
The etymology of the word "rustic" speaks of the mostthe characteristic features of this style are deliberate “uncouthness”, “roughness”, stylization for a rustic interior (in a different way this style is called country music). The desire of our ancestors to introduce an element of aesthetics in the arrangement of their primitive dwellings gave rise to this architectural trend, which later became so widely and comprehensively developed.
Country style has natural detailscomponents and materials, emphasized "rough" processing and the open form of the hearth. The most suitable materials are: shell rock, sandstone, tuff stone, etc.
Baroque style, originated in Europe in the middlecentury, is a reflection of taste in the architecture of the Renaissance. This direction is also relevant in such matters as fireplaces styles. It is distinguished by: the dynamism of the image, excessive pomp and luxury, a certain illusiveness of forms and lines, pomp and decorativeness.
Art nouveau lovers will easily give upmost of the decor elements in favor of an unusual color experiment. This direction is peculiar to: oblongness, foam shape, constructive combination of stone and metal parts, as well as the presence of ceramic or glass in the lining.

As a worthy accompaniment of a fireplace in the Art Nouveau style, you can highlight a large abstract or landscape picture, minimally decorated furniture, walls covered with asymmetrical lines and muted colors.
