Installation of fireplaces

Works directly in the house take, as a rule, 1-2 days, although, depending on the complexity of the forthcoming work, there may be exceptions to this rule. The approximate sequence of work will be as follows:

• Installation of the lower part.
• Setting the hearth.
• Connecting the hearth to the chimney.
• Mounting the cladding.
• Installation of the future box.
• Installation of thermal insulation.
• Installation of convection gratings.

In the process of work, it is very important to monitor the air intake holes - they should not be covered by anything. It should be remembered that absolutely any solution that will be used in the installation, necessarily contains moisture. Accordingly, before you start using your new fireplace, you should wait a certain period, the moisture should evaporate. As a rule, this period does not exceed a month, but it is absolutely necessary to consult the installers on this topic.

Quality installation of fireplaces will become a guarantee of durability, long-term safe service for structures from any price category, any complexity.
