Many people dream of having an open brick fireplace – what do you need to know before building one? You can find detailed information in the following article.
A brick fireplace in the living room can be equipped with an open hearth. Before starting to build this type of heating device, it is very important to choose the place where the open brick fireplace will be located. A good solution is to place it in the center of the living room. When building a fireplace in your house, remember to make a flue, a smoke chamber, a hood, a combustion chamber and a fireplate. It is very important to ensure that the flue pipe connections are airtight so that the exhaust gases are safely discharged outside the building. High-quality refractory materials are available from the Vitcas online shop, with which you can build an open fireplace quickly and easily.
Advantages of an open fireplace in the home and garden
Both a fireplace in the house and an outdoor fireplace can be a perfect decorative element. The design of such a heating device allows you to admire the view of the burning fire. This solution introduces a unique atmosphere to the room and allows the household to relax comfortably after a day at work or university. It is a great decoration for the interior of the house, but also for the garden. It is worth emphasizing that the fireplace casing made of fireclay brick looks exceptionally attractive, but also protects the fireplace against heat loss and the surroundings against excessive heating. When building a fireplace, it is worth using high-quality refractory bricks, high-temperature furnace glue or insulating cement, which are sold in the Vutcas store.
What materials should I choose for building a fireplace?
Building an open brick fireplace requires care and the use of high-quality refractory materials. Fireclay bricks, thanks to their durability and resistance to high temperatures, are an ideal choice for fireplace construction. To ensure complete tightness and durability, it is worth using high-temperature adhesives and fireplace mortars. A well-designed fireplace will not only provide heat, but will also become the focal point of the living room, creating a warm and cozy atmosphere.
