Modern simple fireplace, real fire fireplace why expensive?
The real fire fireplace is expensive, the first is the production cost, the general real fire fireplace is made of cast iron or steel, the weight of the big fire fireplace is about 200-300kg, such a heavy material, naturally not cheap, the second is the cost of sales, the real fire fireplace in the country is still a niche industry, in the premise of no big demand. Operating costs, inventory costs, etc. will be divided into a single product, so the price of the real fire fireplace is generally not too cheap! The price of domestic fireplaces is about 10,000 yuan, and the price of imported fireplaces is about 30-50,000 yuan!
When you say that you make a fireplace by yourself, you mean a brick fireplace or a welded one by yourself. If it is a brick fireplace, there are standard construction standards in China. Improper design will cause many problems, common problems are as follows:
1, the diameter of the chimney is too large, resulting in excessive wind, most of the heat released by combustion is pumped away by the chimney, only a small part of the heat remains in the room, resulting in a huge waste of energy, the room can not be effectively heated. A large number of draught makes burning very fast, consumes a lot of wood, and increases the cost of using the fireplace; Rapid combustion consumes a lot of indoor oxygen at the same time, affecting indoor air quality.
2. The chimney is not effectively insulated.
3, the chimney height is insufficient, weak pumping force.
4. Poorly designed chimneys can cause backwind, causing flames to fall into the room and sparks to splash around, creating a fire hazard.
5, the furnace is not heat preservation treatment, just fire resistance is not enough, there is good heat preservation in order to maintain a high temperature in the furnace, to achieve efficient combustion.
6, the furnace does not take a multi-point air inlet structure, resulting in inadequate combustion.
7, due to the fuel pile burning on the ground, resulting in a large number of incomplete combustion (produce a lot of black smoke). Incomplete combustion will produce harmful gases such as carbon monoxide, and in the case of improper chimney design (which is mostly the case), toxic gases will partially flood into the room.
8, incomplete combustion at the same time to produce smoke, in the chimney wind is not good or strong weather, smoke will be poured into the room, polluting the top of the wall and furniture. If inhaled carelessly, it will directly endanger health. Incomplete combustion will produce coke ash, which accumulates on the chimney wall for a long time, and may cause a chimneyfire when it reaches a certain thickness. The temperature of a chimney fire is very high and can pose a fire hazard.
9, when the furnace is not used, in the case of low outdoor temperature in winter, because the flue can not be effectively closed, a large number of cold air in the chimney will be poured into the room, not only reduce the temperature of the area around the fireplace, resulting in energy waste, but also the dust in the chimney into the room, seriously polluting the indoor environment.
10, at present, most of the domestic chimneys do not use fire-resistant insulation materials, the burning heat may make the chimney wall wall discolor, or even fall off, because the chimney internal space is small, simply can not be repaired.
11, the chimney interior has not been fireproof treatment, some of the chimney wall is even the insulation layer of the external wall of the building, these insulation materials are highly flammable materials, if encountered an open fire will be severely burned, endangering the safety of the entire building.
12, a large amount of chimney wind will cause indoor air negative pressure, forcing cold air from the doors and Windows to continue to supplement into the room. When the radiant heat of combustion is not enough to heat the cold air coming in, the average temperature of the whole room can be lowered instead of rising.
If you welded a fireplace by yourself, the real fire fireplace is not so simple as an iron box!
How to design a fireplace in a simple style of residential design?
Enjoy life and love design. I'm Yifan, an interior designer! Welcome to consult and discuss the decoration together.
How to design a fireplace in a simple style of residential design? Personally, there are several options.
The first option is a simulated fireplace. The simulated fireplace is based on the reflection of light to produce a two-dimensional flat flame, with a simulated carbon fire, the effect is realistic but not a real flame, but it is exactly the same as the real fireplace. It is usually constructed with simulated wood and anti-pebble.
Modern simple fireplace, real fire fireplace why expensive?
Practice: This kind of fireplace is used in modern simple style, and is used in the TV background wall. The general practice is to embed the simulation fireplace in the wall, but the general home wall is thin, at this time, according to the size, with wood keel and woodworking board to make the base, the surface can use solid wood or stone veneer, to make the size required for the simulation fireplace.
Buy: Like this simulation fireplace, there are many on a treasure, the price is generally hundreds to thousands, can be customized according to the size of the simulation fireplace designed by the TV wall of their own.
The second option is a stone or wood fireplace. This kind of fireplace is also a kind of decorative fireplace, and the style of the fireplace can be selected according to the design style of the interior. Simple interior style, the fireplace style choice should also be as simple as possible. Refer to the figure below for details.
Practice: The practice of this kind of fireplace is similar to the practice of simulation fireplace, you can refer to the simulation fireplace.
Purchase: The purchase of this kind of fireplace, it is recommended to find a regular manufacturer customized. It can design its own personalized material fireplace according to its own size. You can choose different stone, you can also choose different wood colors according to your preferences. The price will also vary depending on the material and shape.
The third option is a real fire fireplace. This kind of fireplace has become an indoor heating device, using fuel as energy, and the chimney is passed inside. Because the domestic heating methods are mainly central heating, this kind of fireplace has many decorative components and little practical effect.
Practice: Reserve the location of the fireplace in advance, and reserve the holes of the chimney in advance.
Purchase: need to find a special manufacturer to customize.
Personal advice: In the modern simple style of the fireplace design, it is recommended to choose the first or second. The third decorative effect is not as good as the first two, and the size and smoke exhaust must be considered. I hope my answer will be helpful to you.
If you have good opinions or suggestions, welcome to follow, leave comments or private messages and discuss together. I'm Yifan, an interior designer.
What's the difference between a cast iron fireplace and a steel fireplace?
First, the production process is different
Cast iron fireplaces are made of various cast iron parts combined by bolts and nuts. Each cast iron must be cast through the process of mold opening, sand turning, iron melting, casting, demoulding and so on. Casting process is a high energy consumption, high pollution industry, with the national environmental protection policy more and more stringent, steel fireplace instead of cast iron fireplace gradually become a trend.
The steel plate fireplace is the steel plate cut out the required size by a large laser cutting machine, and then welded out the fireplace body by bending, stamping, grinding and other processes, and the internal assembly is completed with vermiculite and other refractory materials. Steel fireplaces have high processing precision, diverse shapes, larger sizes, and have certain advantages in fireplace sealing and thermal efficiency.
Two, the weight and size are different
For the same size, a cast iron fireplace with a large number of cast iron pieces is much heavier than a steel fireplace. And the larger the size, the more difficult the production of castings, in the large fireside fireplace market, cast iron fireplace has no advantages. The following is a comparison of the parameters of the F900 steel fireplace and the Caesar cast iron fireplace of the Saint Roman brand:
At present, the domestic fireplace like Caesar width 900mm has been a rare large-size cast iron fireplace, while the steel hearth steel can easily break through one meter, the width of F1200L produced by Saint Roman is 1103mm, and the width of F1600H imported from France AXIS brand can be 1586mm. Therefore, choose a large fire fireplace to choose a steel fireplace.
Third, the aesthetic feeling is different
Due to different production processes, its shape has its own characteristics.
The cast iron process, in which molten metal is poured into a mold, can produce embossed patterns and curved surfaces, often with decorative details. Cast iron fireplace its surface unique rough feeling, giving a retro and elegant texture.
Steel plate is easy to make a variety of special-shaped parts, so that it has the characteristics of avant-garde shape and fashion trend. The steel fireplace pursues a sense of design, and its smooth and simple lines and angular characteristics are more suitable for modern decorative style and integrated with modern furniture.
Abroad, has more than 20 years of export experience, products exported to Greece, Albania, Lithuania, Poland, Ukraine, the United Kingdom, Ireland, Jordan and other countries.
