Fireplaces at the dacha - this is beauty, and comfort, and, of course, the necessary element that will warm in the winter cold. However, if the cottage is built of wood, many are afraid to install fireplaces in it. Indeed, the tree is a combustible material. But with all the safety measures, and first of all, all the rules for installing the unit, no fires are terrible.
But we'll figure it out, which can cause a fire in the house. There are three main reasons for this. Cheap and substandard materials that were purchased from an untested vendor, an unprofessional installation of country fireplaces, especially a chimney. Well, the last reason, which will always keep in fear the inhabitants of the cottage, is the originally incorrectly constructed construction of the house itself, which did not provide for the installation of a fireplace.
Rules for installing a fireplace in the country
Coal is a very unpredictable element. You can jump out and get on wooden floors, textiles, furniture - and this is dangerous. So, if you decided to install a fireplace, equip the surrounding materials with a surrounding area. For example, near the unit, it is better to lay an iron sheet or a stone tile immediately. This decoration will accentuate the fireplace and the noble fire living in it.
The base for a fireplace is better to make concrete. After all, the construction is quite heavy, especially made of bricks. Do not forget that the base must bear the weight of the protective wall, which is done in order to protect the wooden wall, to which the unit will "lean". Also, take into account the pressure that the chimney and the main wall of the house will have.
Installation of different types of fireplaces
Modern fireplaces provide for a basalt layer, but this does not allow you to attach them directly to the wooden lining. In this case it is easier to cope with the installation of the owners of houses built of brick and other non-combustible materials. For protection between the fireplace and the wall, silicate brick and composite materials are laid.

Fireplaces for a summer residence from a brick provide the device of the chimney executed from the same building material. The casing of the pipe can be metallic. And this is an impressive weight, which requires a heavily reinforced fireplace base. An excellent solution is the redistribution of weight on all reinforcing elements, which will "help" keep the entire installation.

When installing the chimney, it is necessary to take into account the seasonal changes in the parameters of the walls, which is due to temperature changes and humidity. And from the fireplace it is better to remove carpets, furniture and other easily combustible objects away.
Cast-iron fireplaces - the beauty and warmth of your home
Cast-iron fireplaces for cottages can look like a modification of a long-known furnace "burzhuyki" or inserted into a frame of brick. They are easy to install, their weight is not so great as that of brick. The main thing here is to properly install the chimney and the surrounding area. After all, the coal can "jump out" and out of the womb of a cast iron furnace.
Of course, it is possible to install a cast-iron electric fireplace . And you do not need to be afraid of a fire. Although this will not prevent the observance of fire safety, otherwise fire may occur with any installation. But you can indulge yourself with a shish kebab, using a cast-iron fireplace in the role of a kind of brazier.

A nice and warm place in your house
And the truth, corner fireplaces for a summer residence allow, not occupying the most part of the area of a premise, to create a cosiness and beauty, having filled in the empty corner. After all, in a corner you can not put most of the furniture, and being empty, it looks ugly.
Angular fireplaces are divided into two types: a structure for the protruding angle and the usual angular. In any case, installing a fireplace at any angle saves space, making the interior complete and complete.
