Fireplaces, as a rule, are of two types – with an artificial and living flame. Living fire requires gas or firewood. Electricity is enough for artificial. As a result, you get a fairly realistic look of fire. It can have different effects – burning or smoldering firewood, as well as burning or smoldering coals. During burning, such a fireplace makes the sounds characteristic of the real fire.

We will continue the topic of fireplaces with living fire. The installation of such units requires a thick pack of documents and chimney. All this costs a significant amount, but the firewood is worth it. Its design includes three parts – firebox, cladding (portal), chimney. The firebox can be brick or from any fireproof material. It is in it that firewood burn. Dolomite or marble portal carries a purely decorative function. The chimney, respectively, removes smoke from the room. It would seem that the device of the fireplace is absolutely simple. However, its masonry needs to be trusted only to professionals. Otherwise, instead of a fireplace exuding the heat, you will get a useless steaming structure for the whole house. The arrangement of the furnace will cost you a perfectly acceptable amount – about $ 1000. But do not forget about the need for a chimney and a portal. Moreover, the price of the portal can be arbitrarily high, depending on the materials and other things. Only your wallet will serve as a restriction.
