Almost all designers have always approached the assessment of the role of the fireplace in the interior not only in terms of functionality. Today, the fireplace is rather an important element of “decoration”. It also relaxes perfectly, is able to provide healthy sleep at night, improves performance and relieves tension in relations with loved ones, which is the secret of joyful and long family life.
But you need to clearly imagine that not all can afford such comfort. And the point here is not considerable financial investments that the construction of the fireplace is connected, although this, of course, plays an important role. In addition, there are other restrictions:
The fireplace requires a rather complex installation, which provides for the output of chimneys, which determines its use only in country houses and country buildings;
The installation of the fireplace is a little similar to such a complex process as revaluating fixed assets, because it takes a long period of time, which can reach four months from starting work to commissioning (not counting the time required for a comprehensive and thorough drying of the structure), and requires thoroughness and attention;
It is necessary to constantly remove the ash from the fireplace, clean the chimney channels using a special inventory, and the firewood for the fireplace must be purchased for individual money and stored correctly;
Open fire burning in the fireplace can cause a terrible disaster, and therefore requires a very attentive relationship: do not let the children play near the fireplace, make or disassemble it.
The wood fireplace has a great alternative – electric fireplace. The choice is yours!
