Why is the modern market attractive? First of all, by the fact that for little money you can purchase or realize your long -standing desires. The fireplace actually applies to such opportunities. And given the all kinds of modern innovations, you can not only acquire a almost ready -made design, but also minimize various kinds of turmoil related to the change in the plan of the home arrangement, as well as the direct layout of the ashin, the chimney, the very structure of the future fireplace. All this is easily leveled by the acquisition of a finished fireplace with a cast -iron furnace. Indeed, in addition to simplicity, it has increased heating efficiency in comparison with the standard option. So, this article will consider detailed instructions for installing a fireplace with your own hands.
1
The market allows you to choose a fireplace for your own needs. Moreover, if it is necessary small, and there is one. There are several acquisition options, namely the conveyor - the factory version. Or in the case of special wishes - custom -made manufacture. It makes no difference, this is a central or corner option, they are all present.
2
Often such structures have an impressive weight, are able to give out high temperatures. Therefore, you need to think about organizing a reliable base for a fireplace. Having decided on placement, you should take on the preparation of the base.
3
Prepare the floor under the fireplace. For this, a reinforced cement screed should be implemented. First you need to prepare a layer of appropriate waterproofing material, after which if the floors are wooden, add another layer of thermal insulation material for greater safety. It should be noted that the thickness of the screed is the minimum ten, or even fifteen millimeters. And for increased rigidity, metal rods or nets are used as reinforcement.
4
Having implemented the base, we proceed to the formation of a place to install a cast -iron furnace. It all depends on your imagination. A brick implementation of the pedestal, other similar materials is possible. Or the direct acquisition of a finished pedestal made of natural stone. An artificial option is possible.
5
If there are doubts about the stiffness and strength of the base, you should pay attention to aerated concrete. In addition to excellent heat -resistant parameters, it has impressive indicators of lightness, strength. It should be said that this material is perfectly succumbing to processing, cladding, plaster - therefore, there will be no problems with decoration.
6
Installation of the pedestal is carried out using special adhesive mixtures or a more familiar cement mortar. Upon completion of the preparation of a pedestal structure for cast -iron top, complete this stage with a coating with a layer of plaster, at least one and a half centimeter thick.
7
A thermal insulation material is installed on the prepared base - at its own discretion, preferably a roofing sheet of iron or asbartic material. Before installing a cast -iron furnace, think about how to arrange it. Since it is necessary to leave a small gap between the cladding and its walls to ensure convective heating of the room. This implementation will make it possible to use a fireplace more effectively.
8
When installing the furnace, you must first put it on the bars on its pedestal, and then align exactly in level. Next, after the next verification of the correct installation, the bars are removed, they begin to install the chimney in the opening allotted for this.
9
The installation of the chimney must be carried out in accordance with all fire safety rules. The areas around it, as well as places of contact with the roof and the ceiling, are necessarily isolated by the heat insulator. Also note that there are norms about the possibility of deviation from the vertical of the chimney pipe. So, in the case of a length of not more than five meters, the angular deviation should not exceed 45 degrees. In the case of a larger length, deviation indicators are less than 20 degrees.
The finale of the composition can be performed in two versions: the first is a completely brick option. Masonry is made to the ceiling, hides a chimney and all the elements of insulation. The second option is a frame of metal profiles. It forms a tightening frame that is made from any available material. The final stage is the stage of the implementation of ventilation holes, for the removal of preheated air into the room.
