Fireplaces are one of the best ways to improve the home atmosphere and stay comfortable during winter times.
Fireplaces are constructed of solid masonry, stone, brick, reinforced concrete, factory-built metal, or a combination of masonry with a metal insert. A normal fireplace uses only about 10 percent of the energy in the fuel to provide heat to occupants. High-efficiency circulating fireplaces can heat small homes. A circulating fireplace contains a metal insert that circulates heat by fan or by convection.
Columbus fireplaces with gas logs must have a damper block on the damper to prevent the damper from closing. This device eliminates any risks of operating gas logs with a closed damper and dumping flue gases into the dwelling. When gas logs are present in a fireplace, the inspector should observe the damper block and report if it is not present.
Building
Improperly built fireplaces are dangerous if they do not draw properly. They will smoke and may be a serious fire and safety hazard. Careful attention must be given to fireplace construction. Fireplace fires are caused by thin walls, combustible materials, wood mantels, unsafe hearths, and broken or missing dampers. Hazardous conditions also occur when the firebox and flue are not properly installed and sealed. Fireplaces currently built include the following:
Freestanding Columbus fireplaces —prefabricated metal, self- contained, and available in various designs. These fireplaces have an exposed flue that rises through either the ceiling or wall to the exterior. Freestanding fireplaces must be set on noncombustible bases. Open-front fireplaces are the most common fireplace. An open front fireplace is constructed of either masonry or prefabricated metal. Open-two-sided fireplaces—may be cantilevered or post-supported and are bidirectional. Open-three-sided fireplaces—may be cantilevered or post-supported and seen from multi-directions.
Open-four-sided fireplaces—have metal fireplace hood and flue. Depending on their form and proportions, open-four-sided fireplaces may be suspended from above and may be omni-directional. Prefabricated fireplaces—have metal exteriors with heat-resistant insulating fibers and are used in all standard building construction systems. Prefabricated fireplaces are freestanding or open front. Fireplace openings are 29"or 33" high. Hearth sizes are 30" to 36" wide and 16" deep and the flue size is 12" round.
An inadequate flue size may cause malfunctions. Today there are different kinds of fireplaces are available in the market that one could build in their homes. It is important to understand that one chooses the best design or type of fireplaces according to their requirements and budget. Visiting the best fire place store would be the best way to buy fireplaces.
