Everything you need to know about fireplaces

A fireplace is an accessory that adds elegance and style to your home. This improves the atmosphere and is truly spectacular.

What should you consider before buying a fireplace?

When you want to buy a fireplace, there are several things to consider.

Do you want to use it to heat a single room, to heat your home or just for decoration?
The installation should be in a stay or in a separate house building.
The fireplace adapts to both rustic and modern interiors.

What kind of wood is used?

The wood used is important so that the stove or fireplace works correctly. It must be as natural as possible, without chemicals and the driest possible: it is better to buy firewood two years earlier, keep it in a dedicated and well -ventilated room and therefore use it. The optimal thickness of the wood is 5-15 cm.

The heating of solid fuel is known as the cheapest method due to the price/thermal value of the fuel.

Wet wood has a low caloric power and vapors produced during combustion can be blocked on the walls of the burning rooms, baskets and tubes, producing soot and reducing the life of the product and its installation.

When the wood burns, the same amount of carbon dioxide is emitted as if you decompose in nature. Therefore, unlike fossil fuels, wood combustion is a form of ecological heating, which does not produce greenhouse gases.

What are the components of a fireplace?

• Gas exhaust spot burning It is used to adjust the amount of exhaust gas from the stove/fireplace to fireplace. It is easy to act with a handle in the upper part of the boiler.
• The fireplace is used to extract the exhaust gases from the fireplace combustion process and to evacuate them outside. The chimney baskets must be the correct size, so it is advisable to consult an expert or a designer. The smoke channel must have the same size as the edge of the stove.
• Circulation is the combination of the height of the fireplace and the difference in temperature between the exhaust gases and the external air, usually called the «basket of the basket». The lowering of the height of the fireplace also reduces the difference in temperature between the exhaust gases and the external air.

The cleaning of stoves and fireplaces must be performed when it’s cold.

Ideally, don’t force the fireplace to cool down, but wait for it to cool in a natural way. Use mobile and ash grills to remove ashes and waste.

The amount of ash and soot is directly influenced by the quality of the fuel used and working conditions.

If the fireplace is oversized or used at low temperatures, the amount of soot will increase significantly. The absence of a fireplace print also increases the amount of ash.

A general inspection of the fireplace and the fireplace is required after completing the heating season.

Key points for the installation of the fireplace

As for any solid or gas product, it is advisable to make sure that the installation complies with local and European regulations and regulations.

The fireplace is placed horizontally on the floor. It is recommended to position the fireplace on a fixed support 50 cm from the front of the fireplace and 30 cm from the sides, without flammable objects or pyrolysis near it and at a distance of at least 80 cm.

The supply of fresh air of the stove should be at least 4 m3/has 1 kW of thermal capacity. In special cases, if the supply of fresh air is not sufficient, it can be provided by the nearby room or external air.

The main causes of insufficient printing are

• The accumulation of soot inside the fireplace, which reduces the transversal section of the fireplace and increases the resistance of the exhaust gas.
• Cracks in the fireplace wall or weakened rosette.
• The weakened or inserted bellies that are in depth in the basket and reduce the transversal section of the basket or blocked completely.
• The insulated ceilings or open windows cause the phenomenon of the «scale», on the upper floors, creating reverse circulation.
• If connected correctly and if it is constantly maintained and maintained, the fireplace will not emit smoke in the room. However, in this case, the room should be ventilated to remove gases.
