Generally, the installation of fireplaces depends on the structure of the house itself. For modern fireplaces, there are generally two types. One is a simple steel structure fireplace, which is generally produced by factories in mass production; The other is traditional European Style masonry fireplace, handmade by professional technical workers.
Steel fireplaces are more common in the Chinese market, and their installation is convenient. The installer only needs to discharge this fireplace directly to the reserved position in the room, but pay attention to avoid placing flammable materials and burns to children around this fireplace.
The masonry fireplace conforms to the orthodox European style, which is not only unique in appearance, but also has the advantages that the cast iron furnace does not have: extremely high internal combustion temperature and safe outer wall temperature. The construction process of a reasonably designed fireplace is relatively complicated, so it needs professional and technical personnel to implement it. It is not used in ordinary residential houses in China, but it is worth having in villa-type housing.
When installing a new fireplace, it is necessary to decide the best installation location according to the internal conditions of the house. The more suitable installation location is the living room. In European culture, the fireplace is the core of the traditional living room. There are three types of installation positions: one is in the middle of the partition wall; the other is in the shaded foot where the outer wall and the inner wall are orthogonal. The back room of these two types must have another fireplace close to the partition wall. They share The same flue; the third type is set independently in a prominent position in the hall, and the upper and lower fireplaces are generally aligned. According to safety regulations, the fireplace needs to be hermetically burnt, that is, it has its own air inlet and exhaust channel to eliminate pollution to the interior.
For cast iron fireplaces, the installation requirements for each model are different. Carefully check the location that needs to be changed and then decide the product model, it will do more with less. In general, the simplest installation is to install a smokeless fireplace. It only needs to connect the smoke pipe to the machine through the wall or the floor. The fireplace chimney with a smoke exhaust pipe can pass through the external wall and discharge the exhaust gas to the outside. Therefore, the choice of the location of the fireplace must consider that the fireplace chimney can easily lead to the outdoor.
The structure of a wood-burning fireplace has special requirements for the installation location, and requires a straight-through chimney. The smoke pipe extends out of the roof and has sufficient distance from the surrounding buildings, so it is necessary to discuss the feasibility with the dealer before the final purchase and installation. Fuel storage should also be considered. A wood-burning fireplace is best placed near the garage and attic where wood is stored.
