FIREPLACE LINING
4.6.1. LININGS
Fireplace lining
has to be made
of fireproof materials
(i.e. stone or
clay panels, ceramic clay panels for stoves). Avoid direct contact between
linings and fireplace. The lining can overlap only a separated frame, which
is mostly mounted to a wall.
You should also
cover the dome (11)
for decreasing the exterior
temperature of the dome. Apply a 0,6 mm thick layer of white galvanized
metal sheets on the dome.
4.6.2. AIR VENTS
Hot air inlet and outlet openings
cross section shall be 600 cm
2
at the
minimum
. After mounting the fireplace mentioned openings
shall not be
covered with any building materials
.
You
shall not
mount grates into such openings, especially not grates,
(Venetian)
blinds or leaves, so basically any object that can’t be open.
Openings must be always free for air circulation.
4.6.3. DECORATIVE BEAMS
You can add decorative beams only in a
distance at least 10 mm from
the fireplace lining
, but only if the decorative beam is not a part of the
building and if the interim area to the lining is free, otherwise a heat block
can happen. Also the decorative beam shall not be mounted in the fireplace
irradiation area.
4.6.4. FIRE PROTECTION
After mounting the proper chimney attachment you need to carry out
pre-masonry work and insulate the area around the fireplace against
heat
. You need to ensure a 800 mm safety distance in front of the fireplace
and on the sides (see (26)
Figure 13
).
