When considering how to make a fireplace, you first need to decide whether it will be a real wood-burning fireplace or an imitation of it. <\/p>\n<h3>How to make a fireplace in the house?<\/h3>\n<p>In order to equip a fireplace in the house, you need to take care of a fireproof base for the hearth, a good chimney and thermal insulation of the walls. The latter is necessary to improve the energy-saving qualities of the room. Suitable thermal insulation materials are aerated concrete, sheet asbestos, refractory brick, magnesite. They are usually fastened in two ways &#8211; using special solutions or mechanically, using screws and fastenings made of alabaster wire. <\/p>\n<p>The fireplace itself is best made of refractory brick, concrete, chimneys can be made of ceramics or stainless steel. <\/p>\n<table class=\"center\">\n<tbody>\n<tr>\n<td><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/womanadvice.ru\/sites\/default\/files\/imagecache\/width_200\/kak_sdelat_kamin1.jpg\" alt=\"how to make a fireplace1\" class=\"imagecache-width_200 leftart\">\n<\/td>\n<td><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/womanadvice.ru\/sites\/default\/files\/imagecache\/width_200\/kak_sdelat_kamin2.jpg\" alt=\"how to make a fireplace2\" class=\"imagecache-width_200 leftart\">\n<\/td>\n<td><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/womanadvice.ru\/sites\/default\/files\/imagecache\/width_200\/kak_sdelat_kamin3.jpg\" alt=\"how to make a fireplace3\" class=\"imagecache-width_200 leftart\">\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n<p>The equipment of a fireplace in an apartment differs only in the specifics of the chimney outlet &#8211; it must be determined individually for each home, depending on the layout and communications that are in the house. <\/p>\n<p>The minimum length of the chimney for a fireplace is 5 meters, the size of the pipe opening should be approximately equal to the size of the brick. Also, the design of the fireplace chimney requires the presence of special channels that will remove soot and prevent it from settling on the fireplace shutter. If the dimensions of the room do not allow constructing a chimney of sufficient height, then it will have to be equipped with an electric smoke extractor.<\/p>\n<p>It is also worth mentioning that there are two types of connecting a chimney to a fireplace:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>French (the chimney is located directly above the fireplace, convenient, but only suitable for solid fuel fireplaces);<\/li>\n<li>connection method (the chimney is installed away from the fireplace).<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>The materials most often used for chimney equipment are brick, ceramics and stainless steel.<\/p>\n<p><!-- Yandex.RTB R-A-2199404-8 --><\/p>\n<div id=\"yandex_rtb_R-A-2199404-8\"><\/div>\n<p><script>window.yaContextCb.push(()=>{\n  Ya.Context.AdvManager.render({\n    renderTo: 'yandex_rtb_R-A-2199404-8',\n\tstatId: \"477\",\n    blockId: 'R-A-2199404-8'\n  })\n})<\/script> <\/p>\n<table class=\"center\">\n<tbody>\n<tr>\n<td><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/womanadvice.ru\/sites\/default\/files\/imagecache\/width_200\/kak_sdelat_kamin_6.jpg\" alt=\"how to make a fireplace 6\" class=\"imagecache-width_200 leftart\"><\/p>\n<\/td>\n<td><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/womanadvice.ru\/sites\/default\/files\/imagecache\/width_200\/kak_sdelat_kamin4.jpg\" alt=\"how to make a fireplace4\" class=\"imagecache-width_200 leftart\">\n<\/td>\n<td><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/womanadvice.ru\/sites\/default\/files\/imagecache\/width_200\/kak_sdelat_kamin5.jpg\" alt=\"how to make a fireplace5\" class=\"imagecache-width_200 leftart\">\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n<h3>How to make a fireplace from a stove?<\/h3>\n<p><!-- Yandex.RTB R-A-2199404-4 --><\/p>\n<div id=\"yandex_rtb_R-A-2199404-4\"><\/div>\n<p><script>window.yaContextCb.push(()=>{\n  Ya.Context.AdvManager.render({\n    renderTo: 'yandex_rtb_R-A-2199404-4',\n\tstatId: \"477\",\n    blockId: 'R-A-2199404-4'\n  })\n})<\/script><\/p>\n<p>In many houses, as well as in apartments of the old building, stoves have been preserved &#8211; initially wood-burning, later converted for gas heating. They can easily be converted into a fireplace &#8211; it\u2019s much easier than building it from scratch. The advantage is that in houses with stove heating there is already a chimney, that is, half the work is done for you.\n<\/p>\n<p>Before making a fireplace from a stove, you should make sure that the chimneys are in good condition and that there is draft necessary for the normal operation of the fireplace. To do this, you need to turn to the services of a stove maker. <\/p>\n<p>If the stove is made well, the main efforts to remodel it should be concentrated on re-equipping the pipe. The fireplace may also require a larger firebox opening. Then you can begin to equip the decorative fireplace door, and then start decorating the hearth.<\/p>\n<h3>How to make a decorative fireplace?<\/h3>\n<p>Creating a decorative fireplace usually involves installing an electric fireplace, thermal insulation of the adjacent walls, and also designing a decorative panel. To do this, in fact, you can use the same materials as for decorating a real hearth, for example, brick, various types of artificial stone, ceramic tiles, forging to create fireplace grates.  <\/p>\n<table class=\"center\">\n<tbody>\n<tr>\n<td><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/womanadvice.ru\/sites\/default\/files\/imagecache\/width_200\/kak_sdelat_kamin_iz_gipsokartona1.jpg\" alt=\"how to make a fireplace from plasterboard1\" class=\"imagecache-width_200 leftart\">\n<\/td>\n<td><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/womanadvice.ru\/sites\/default\/files\/imagecache\/width_200\/kak_sdelat_kamin_iz_gipsokartona2.jpg\" alt=\"how to make a fireplace from plasterboard2\" class=\"imagecache-width_200 leftart\">\n<\/td>\n<td><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/womanadvice.ru\/sites\/default\/files\/imagecache\/width_200\/kak_sdelat_kamin_iz_gipsokartona3.jpg\" alt=\"how to make a fireplace from plasterboard3\" class=\"imagecache-width_200 leftart\">\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n<p>One of the most common materials for creating interior architectural elements in rooms is plasterboard. It is well suited for creating a decorative panel for both electric and wood-burning fireplaces. Before installing a plasterboard structure, you should prepare the base for the fireplace &#8211; this is especially true if you plan to install a wood-burning fireplace. In this case, the optimal height of the fireproof cushion is at least 20 cm, the distance between the base for the hearth and the firebox of the decorative plasterboard panel should be about 10 cm. <\/p>\n<div style=\"clear:both;height:4px;\"> <\/div>\n<ul class=\"social-likes\">\n<li class=\"facebook\" title=\"\u041f\u043e\u0434\u0435\u043b\u0438\u0442\u044c\u0441\u044f \u0441\u0441\u044b\u043b\u043a\u043e\u0439 \u043d\u0430 \u0424\u0435\u0439\u0441\u0431\u0443\u043a\u0435\">\n\t<\/li>\n<li class=\"vkontakte\" title=\"\u041f\u043e\u0434\u0435\u043b\u0438\u0442\u044c\u0441\u044f \u0441\u0441\u044b\u043b\u043a\u043e\u0439 \u0432\u043e \u0412\u043a\u043e\u043d\u0442\u0430\u043a\u0442\u0435\">\n\t<\/li>\n<li class=\"odnoklassniki\" title=\"\u041f\u043e\u0434\u0435\u043b\u0438\u0442\u044c\u0441\u044f \u0441\u0441\u044b\u043b\u043a\u043e\u0439 \u0432 \u041e\u0434\u043d\u043e\u043a\u043b\u0430\u0441\u0441\u043d\u0438\u043a\u0430\u0445\">\t<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<div style=\"clear:both;\"><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<p><br \/>\n<br \/><a href=\"https:\/\/womanadvice.ru\/kak-sdelat-kamin\">Source<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>A fireplace in a modern interior is a symbol of home comfort and immutable family values.
