There is an opinion that the device of a fireplace in a country house can only be performed by a professional. But this is not entirely true, such a heating structure can be done with your own hands, for this you can understand the principle of a fireplace by studying the drawings and diagrams.
The most important preparation points
Preparation for construction sometimes takes longer than the installation of the heating structure itself. There are several important points to understand in this process:
The nodes of which the fireplace consists
The fireplace structure consists of:
- Ash pan. In a simple way, it blew
- The working platform of the furnace or in another way "under"
- Firebox
- Firebox mirror. Inclined rear part of the firebox, from which heat is reflected
- Portal. Responsible for the appearance of the structure
- Smoke tooth
- Haylo or in another way smoke chamber
- Chimney valve or professional - a gate, with the help of it the draft is regulated
- Neck. This element is the transition of the fireplace to the chimney
- Chimney connection
- Chimney
- Grate
Where to install the fireplace and how it should be
The construction of a fireplace is much simpler than a stove. On the one hand, this is an advantage, because it is easier to fold it and much less material is spent. And on the other hand, such a design has a low efficiency because it gives off heat in half less than the furnace.
How to calculate the size of the fireplace
The size of the furnace window should be related to the area of \u200b\u200bthe room as 1:50. The height of the firebox should relate to the width as 2/3, according to the scheme it will be B / A. Next, we experimentally select the height of the fireplace window and find out the width of the firebox using the formula A \u003d 3xB / 2. It is important to pay attention to the calculation of the main parameters A, B, C. The next important parameter is depth. It should be 2/3 of the height of the furnace window and is calculated according to the formula C \u003d 2xB / 3. If this parameter is increased, then the heat transfer will drop, and if it is reduced, then the fireplace will start to smoke. According to the fire safety rules, the shelf in front of the fireplace should protrude into the room by half a meter. The height from the floor should be 80 cm.
If the length of the chimney from the grate to the upper point is more than 10 meters, then at least one knee must be made. Otherwise, the draft will be too great and all the heat will go into the pipe, plus all this will be an overconsumption of firewood.
The protrusion of the chimney above the roof can also be viewed according to the diagram, which gives the minimum requirements, from which it is worth starting from. If your country house is not large, then it is better to raise the chimney pipe higher. The higher the pipe above the ridge, the stronger the draft.
Choosing a place for a fireplace
For this, there are instructions for designing:
- The fireplace is not installed in front of the windows
- Installation in walk-through rooms is not desirable
- Do not use small rooms as oxygen will be burned out. The generally accepted minimum is 12-15 square meters
- The firebox should look to the center of the room
- Must not border outside walls
- It is advisable to install next to the load-bearing wall
For many, having your own fireplace is a dream, but its realization requires high-quality preparation and thorough implementation. It is not recommended to install a fireplace on your own for smaller rooms, since living in such a place can be quite dangerous. But if you want to make a small hearth in a room with an area of \u200b\u200bmore than 20 squares, then this can be done.
The most optimal material for creating fireplaces is considered to be brickwork, but there is also a simpler solution to this issue - an electric fireplace, which can perform not only decorative, but also practical functions. However, for a suburban building, this option will be more expensive and not practical.
First, you need to calculate the area of \u200b\u200bthe fuel portal. For the most part, it is no more than 2 percent of the area of \u200b\u200bthe room in which the fireplace is installed. If the area is 15%, then the size of the portal will be approximately 0.3 "square".
Next, you need to calculate the size of the fireplace.
Elements of a brick fireplace:
A is the width of the portal; B - portal height; B - the depth of the firebox; 1 - chimney; 2 - fireplace board; 3 - portal; 4 - firebox; 5 - fireplace step; 6 - floor; 7 - under the fireplace;
The best proportion of height to width is two to three. The fireplace will be approximately 0.7 x 04, based on what parameters the room has, whether you want a square-shaped fireplace or create a more elongated shape.
With regard to the depth, it should be not very large or not very small. With a room size of 15 "squares", the most optimal solution would be a depth of 20-30 centimeters. More specific figures can be obtained only with information about the length and width of the room.
So that the heat does not leave the building completely, the chimney should be made about ten times smaller in relation to the portal area. Among other things, it is advisable to make a round hole.

can build a quality corner fireplace that works well and looks beautiful. But as a beginner to do all the work by yourself? In this article, I decided to touch on the important points that stove-makers face when building corner fireplaces.
Real wood-burning fireplaces are not going to go out of style, despite the fact that almost every home has efficient modern heating systems. This fact can rather be explained by a person's desire to create a special comfort, rather than a lack of heat, although even a small, properly built fireplace is quite capable of quickly heating a room with an area of \u200b\u200b16 ÷ 20 square meters.
Wood-burning fireplaces for home - how to choose and? This question arises for the owners of country houses, who have long dreamed of and finally got the opportunity to create a comfortable rest corner, the center of which will be this particular device with a live fire.
Fireplaces are called stoves equipped with a large open firebox and a fairly simple system for removing combustion products from it.
The traditional version of the fireplace is brick structures, and in order for such a heating device, you need at least a little mastery of the art of a stove-maker or bricklayer. However, in our time, it simplifies the task that some of the parts necessary for the construction of this appliance, which is desired by many owners of private houses, can be purchased ready-made, or you can try to combine brickwork with other materials.
So, recently, metal combustion chambers have been on sale, which are built into the brick structure of the fireplace. Such furnaces, as a rule, have doors with double glazing made of heat-resistant glass. Therefore, the real fire from the fireplace can be enjoyed either by opening the doors wide open, or by contemplating it through the glass.
Despite the very massive and dimensional structure, brick fireplaces are usually not used as the main source of heat. Rather, they serve as a central interior detail that creates an atmosphere of comfort, which is especially necessary in chilly autumn or spring weather.
Wood-burning fireplaces are also made of metal - they can be purchased ready-made or built independently, if, of course, there is good and appropriate equipment.
Metal fireplaces, unlike brick options, are quite often installed in country houses precisely for heating on cold days, and also used for cooking, since many industrial fireplace models are equipped with a hob.
How to choose the optimal fireplace model?
The main evaluation criteria for choosing a fireplace
When choosing a model, it is necessary to rely on a whole list of initial assessment criteria.
- The estimated location of the fireplace is determined, taking into account the area that can be taken away for its installation.
- The heated area is assessed, if necessary.
- The required size of the firebox is outlined.
- The material for making the fireplace is selected.
- Wishes for desired functionality are evaluated.
- The intended exterior design and construction are taken into account to create a uniform interior style in the room.
Let's go through the main points of this list in more detail.
Types of fireplaces by location in the room
According to this criterion, fireplaces are divided into corner, wall, island, built into the wall and even suspended. All of them, in turn, may have differences in shape and design.
Corner fireplace
Corner fireplaces can be put in second place in popularity after wall ones, and this fact is explained by the fact that they are compact and fit perfectly into a room of any size - the main thing is to choose the right size of the structure.
Corner fireplaces, in turn, can be divided into three subspecies:
- Fireplace located on the outer corner of the room. In this case, the chimney must be built into the wall of the house or attached to it from the outside. Both in the first and in the second case, high costs will be required to build this option. However, a chimney built outside can be a great addition to the facade of a building.
- The second option is a fireplace, which has a rectangular or square shape, installed in the corner of a room with a chimney also passing through the room. This fireplace structure can be beaten in different ways, for example, by attaching a decorative or functional niche to it along its entire height, as shown in the photo, to equip a wide pre-fireplace podium with a built-in chamber for storing and drying firewood. This version of the fireplace will perfectly fit into the interior of a room that is large enough in area.
- The third traditional fireplace option is a design that fits into a corner and crosses it diagonally from wall to wall. This model takes up minimal space, so it is ideal for installation in a small room, but it can also be installed in a large hall. The fireplace can be equipped with a mantel and a podium with a firewood niche.
Compact and efficient - corner fireplace
If the corner in the suburban room is still empty, then a fireplace is asking for there. Detailed information about the design, recommendations for the preparation and construction of such a structure, the ordering diagrams of the two original models can be found in a special publication of our portal.
Corner metal fireplaces are very compact along with an enviable heat transfer, so they are often used in country or private houses as the main source of heat for a separate room. Modern versions of these devices have an elegant appearance and fit well into interiors of different styles.

Wall mounted fireplaces
The design of a wall-mounted fireplace is the most popular option. The structure is adjacent to the wall with its back side and at the same time does not take up much space in the room, since the approximate average size of its base is 750 × 1250 mm.
Wall-mounted fireplaces look very elegant and can be made in different styles. In addition, there are designs of this type of fireplaces, which are adjacent to the wall not with the back, but with the side. In construction, such a structure is more complicated, however, it also has its advantages.
A fireplace installed in this way will divide the room into different zones, and when you install a finished metal firebox, glazed on three or two sides, the game of flame can be observed from anywhere in the room.
Metal versions of fireplaces can also be wall-mounted, and different models of these devices are produced, which can be equipped with one or more functions. The design of such fireplace stoves is varied, so it is quite possible to choose an option that not only does not spoil the interior, but also becomes that "highlight" for it that will attract attention.
Fireplaces built into the wall
Fireplaces built into the wall differ from all other types in that its chimney is attached to the wall from the street side, the structure itself is in the wall, and only the fireplace portal protrudes into the room.
The advantage of such a fireplace can be called the fact that it practically does not take up space in the room, that is, its area remains the same, as well as the fact that two fireplaces can be connected to one chimney, built into one wall on different floors of a two-story house. The "disadvantages" of this design are the complexity and laboriousness of its arrangement, as well as the rapid cooling of the fireplace, since the chimney will pass along the street, which will lead to high fuel consumption. To increase the heat transfer from the fireplace, and to avoid its rapid cooling, it is necessary to insulate the chimney well.
Built-in fireplaces can be made entirely of bricks, or a metal firebox is embedded in the wall, which is then framed by a decorative portal, matched to the general style of the room.
It will be quite difficult to build this type of fireplace into the built walls, usually its planning and installation is carried out at the stage of drafting the project and during the construction of the house.
If it is planned to install this type of fireplace in the inner wall, then it will have to be completely or partially dismantled, and then rebuilt - this process will not be easy if the wall is load-bearing, and the floor beams, as well as the rafter system, rest on it.
In the same case, if the fireplace is built into an internal wall at the stage of building a house, then the structure can be calculated so that the furnaces will be turned into rooms separated by this wall and connected to one chimney.
In addition, if a stove has already been built in the house, then it is quite possible to attach a fireplace to it. This is permissible if the size of the channel allows, or the heating devices are planned not to be used simultaneously.
Island fireplaces
Island fireplaces are those that are not connected to any of the walls and are built or installed on a free-standing foundation. This option is only suitable for a large room that needs to be divided into zones or create a more comfortable atmosphere in it.
For example, if a country house is not divided into separate rooms, but has one room with a relatively large area, an island fireplace will fit very well into it.
An island fireplace can be made of metal or brick, the main thing is that a reliable and solid foundation is equipped for it.
Hanging versions of fireplaces can be attributed to a similar type of heating devices, which do not require pouring the foundation, but for them it is necessary to fix reliable floor beams, since they will hold on to them.
Hanging fireplaces are rarely used as they are impractical. If they are used, then more as a decorative element of a modern interior. The price for them is quite high, and their function is only a slight heating of the ambient air. Of course, such a fireplace looks very impressive and is an excellent addition to the style of the interior.
The advantages of such a device include the fact that it can be installed in a room even with a small area, since it has a compact size.
The nuances of the location of fireplaces
In addition to choosing the type of fireplace by its location, it is necessary to correctly designate the specific place of its installation. This issue has its own nuances that must be taken into account.
- First of all, when choosing a place for installing a fireplace in a room, it is necessary to check that the chimney does not bump into the floor beam. It should run exactly in the middle of the space between the two beams, so that a distance of at least 120 ÷ 150 mm remains between the pipe and the wooden structural elements.
- A fireplace with an open firebox should not be located in the area of \u200b\u200bair flow, for example, opposite the front door, since the cold entering the room from the outside will disrupt the natural circulation of heated air. In this regard, a decrease in the efficiency of room heating can be expected.
- A good place to install a corner fireplace would be one of the corners near the door. The heat emanating from it will create a kind of heat curtain for cold air.
- It is best not to install a wall-mounted fireplace near an outside wall, as the cold surface will draw heat away. However, if there was no other place to install the heater, then before installing it, the wall must be insulated by fixing aluminum-coated mineral wool on it with foil towards the room.
- The fireplace must be installed on a solid surface, so if the room has wooden floors, then a concrete foundation will have to be built under the brick structure.
If the floors are mounted from thick boards, and a metal fireplace is chosen that does not have too much mass, then an asbestos slab will need to be laid on the surface for installing the device, and then covered with a steel sheet or laid out with ceramic tiles.
Functionality of the fireplace
Having chosen the installation site and the approximate size of the fireplace, you need to decide what functions it should perform, since there are different options for the design of such structures. So, fireplaces can:
- Heating, that is, used only for heating the room.
- Heating and cooking option - used not only for heating, but also for cooking. This fireplace has a cast iron hob.
- A heating and decorative fireplace is intended not only for heating a room, but also, to a greater extent, for maintaining its style.
- Heating fireplace with water circuit. In this case, the fireplace is an element of the heating system, that is, water, warming up from the heat of the burnt wood, enters the heating radiators, and then, having passed the entire circuit, returns again for heating. Thanks to the circulation of the coolant from the fireplace, one or two rooms of the house can be efficiently heated.
Brick fireplaces can be heating, decorative, and also have a design with a built-in water circuit. However, if a model with a hob is chosen, it will no longer be a fireplace, but. This version of the heater has a more complex internal structure and without proper experience in the construction of furnaces, it is very difficult to do such work on your own.
Metal fireplaces can perform all of the above functions or only heat the room. If a ready-made version of such a device is purchased, it remains to equip a place for it, and if a water circuit is provided for in the design, connect it to the local heating system.
If the fireplace is purchased for a country house in which it is planned to live in the spring and autumn, as well as most of the summer, then it is best to purchase or build a fireplace with a cooking function. Such a device will not only heat the premises of the house, but also will not let you down, if necessary, to cook food or warm water.
Calculating the size of the fireplace
In order for the heater to function efficiently, when drawing up its project, it is very important to calculate the parameters of all elements that depend on the area of \u200b\u200bthe heated room. Calculations can be made based on this table:
| Fireplace elements parameters, mm | Heated room area, m2 | |||||
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| 40 | 30 | 25 | 20 | 15 | 12 | |
| Combustion chamber width | 900 | 800 | 700 | 600 | 500 | 400 |
| Combustion chamber height | 770 | 700 | 630 | 560 | 490 | 420 |
| Combustion chamber depth | 420 | 400 | 380 | 350 | 320 | 300 |
| Rear wall height | Not less than 360 | |||||
| Rear wall width | 700 | 600 | 500 | 450 | 400 | 300 |
| Smoke box height | 800 | 700 | 660 | 630 | 600 | 570 |
| Section of a chimney with a rough inner surface | 270 × 400 | 270 × 400 | 270 × 270 | 270 × 270 | 140 × 270 | 140 × 270 |
| Chimney cross-section with a smooth inner surface | 270 × 270 | 270 × 270 | 270 × 270 | 140 × 270 | 140 × 270 | 140 × 140 |
If the room has a different area, then the dimensions of the fireplace can be calculated independently using simple formulas. For example, to determine the linear size of the furnace window, you need to divide the area of \u200b\u200bthe room by 50. So, if the area is 18 m2, then 18: 50 \u003d 0.36 m or 360 mm, that is, the normal size of the furnace window will be 360 \u200b\u200b× 360 mm.
Knowing the width and height of the firebox, you need to determine its depth. In standard proportions, this value is equal to ⅔ of the found height. For this, the height of the firebox is 360: 3 × 2 \u003d 240 mm. Thus, the size of the combustion chamber will be 360 \u200b\u200b× 360 × 240 mm.
It should be noted that if these parameters are increased for the sake of a design decision, this will negatively affect the heat transfer of the heater, since most of the thermal energy obtained from the combustion of firewood will simply go into the pipe. In addition, fuel costs will be significantly increased.
If the parameters, on the contrary, are reduced, that is, the depth of the firebox does not correspond to its height, then the fireplace may begin to smoke, since the conditions for the formation of the draft necessary for normal combustion will not be created.
In addition to the size of the firebox, the parameters of the chimney directly affect the creation of normal draft in the fireplace. By the way, the fire safety of the device also depends on them. Therefore, you need to correctly select the size of the inner diameter or perimeter of the rectangular chimney, as well as its height.
SNiP requirements establish that the chimney diameter must be at least 150 mm. If a brick pipe of rectangular cross-section is selected, then the cross-sectional area will be at least 1/10 of the size of the combustion chamber window.
In accordance with the established norms, the chimney height must be at least 5000 mm. However, sometimes the chimney has to be raised higher, focusing on the height of the roof ridge and the place where pipes pass through it. The permissible positions of the chimney in relation to the ridge and roof covering are shown in the diagram.
Furnace type
All wood-burning fireplaces are divided into open and closed appliances.
Fireplaces with an open type of combustion chamber are selected if:
- The facility is installed to heat the room on rainy days and create a cozy atmosphere.
- The fireplace is part of the interior style and is also designed for intermittent heating.
- There is a desire to cook dishes on a spit, which require an open firebox.
Fireplaces with a closed chamber are chosen by practical owners of private houses who want not only to transform the interior of their home, but also have a functional appliance in it that can heat one or even two rooms.
Wall-mounted fireplace prices

- The presence of glass doors on the combustion chamber can significantly save fuel, since the draft inside the firebox can be regulated.
- A fireplace with such a design can be used as an alternative heating or in addition to the main one, since some models have an efficiency of 75 ÷ 80%.
- When wood is burning, the door can remain open, if you want to admire the live flame, or closed, if necessary, quickly heat the room.
- The presence of doors on the combustion chamber makes the fireplace as safe as possible, since when wood is burning, coals from them or sparks cannot get onto the floor covering.
Fuel chamber material
In brick fireplaces, the firebox can be completely removed from the brick, combined with a metal sheet, which is fixed on the rear wall of the fuel chamber, and serves as a screen redirecting the heat flow. In addition, a steel or cast-iron firebox can be installed in a brick structure, which is lined with brick.
- The difficulty of building a brick firebox lies in the removal of the rear wall at an angle, since it should not only be inclined towards the portal, but also be quite smooth. Therefore, many beginner craftsmen prefer a metal sheet fixed at the same angle.
- The cast iron combustion chamber has a number of advantages, which include its durability and high heat transfer, which are the main positive qualities of this material. In addition, such a firebox looks quite respectable, which is important for some interior styles.
- Steel fuel chambers, unlike cast-iron ones, are not as durable, since steel burns out rather quickly. Therefore, if such a variant of the firebox is purchased, then the chamber is recommended to be lined with fireclay plates from the inside. You can also purchase a ready-made steel chamber lined with a chamotte layer.
Fireplace portal
The portal of a brick fireplace can be made in two versions - it is arched and straight. When performing an arched version, it is necessary to observe its proportions, that is, the radius of the arc must have a certain size.
An arched ceiling is a more durable option, since it distributes the load better on the lower rows of the upper masonry of the fireplace. In turn, the arched ceiling of the portal is subdivided into two types - bow and semicircular.
Semi-circular portal ceilings are called arches that make up half a circle - this is the most reliable and aesthetic of all existing options, as well as simple in execution. Everything is simple with the radius - it is equal to half the width of the furnace window.
A bow-shaped arched ceiling has a flatter shape, in contrast to a semicircular one, and it is used most often to form wide portal windows or if there is a need to limit the height of the portal. A certain difficulty may be encountered here - it is sometimes necessary to find the radius of the circle R, which forms this arc - it will be required to create a template and preliminary "outlines" for cutting bricks of this curved masonry. And besides, during the laying with a thread stretched from the center of the circle, it is convenient to verify the correct direction of the joints between the bricks of the arch.
There is a special formula for calculating this radius - it is included in the calculator below.

Many owners of private houses dream of a fireplace - this is the embodiment of a special comfort, conducive to a quiet comfortable rest in the winter cold. It is quite possible to realize such a dream - to buy a ready-made factory-made fireplace, or to lay down a "classic" brick structure.
If a finished product is purchased, then no special problems are foreseen - the manufacturer has already provided for the dimensions of the device itself to the smallest detail and the diameter of the chimney required for it. With a brick fireplace, everything is a little more complicated, especially if the owner himself decided to take on its design. A lot of dimensional nuances must be taken into account, and one of them is the optimal cross-section of the flue duct, on which both the efficiency of the fireplace and the safety of its operation depend. The calculator for calculating the cross section of the fireplace chimney, located below, can help with this question.
In the second subsection of the publication, several necessary explanations for the calculations will be provided.
The correct width, height and depth of the heater ensures high productivity. If you make it disproportionate, too large or too small, you cannot achieve the desired effect. It will be cold in the house with high consumption of solid fuel.
Combustion hole configuration
The dimensions of the firebox primarily depend on the area of \u200b\u200bthe room to be heated. It must be divided by 50 to obtain the recommended value for this important structural element.
To get the maximum amount of heat at a low cost of firewood, select the optimal chamber depth for burning firewood. If you make the firebox shallow, you can get a smoky room. If the house is regularly heated, it will become uninhabitable. The depth of the furnace hole should be 2/3 of the height of the fireplace.
For example, let's make a calculation for a living space of 28 sq. m.
- 28/50 \u003d 0.56 sq. m. - such a firebox must be placed indoors.
- The size of the fireplace is 61x92 cm.The area of \u200b\u200bthe furnace opening is 0.61 · 0.92 \u003d 0.5612 sq. m., which fully meets the conditions of calculation.
- We calculate the depth of the chamber (610 2) / 3 \u003d 406.7 mm. We round it and get that the depth of the firebox is 40 cm.
Features of calculating the chimney
In order to prevent the formation of condensation and ensure good draft, it is important to install a chimney, the outlet area of \u200b\u200bwhich should be 1 / 8-1 / 15 of the furnace area.
In our case, install a 20x26 cm chimney duct, which has an area of \u200b\u200b0.052 sq. m, which is approximately 1/10 of the values \u200b\u200bof the furnace.
It is also important to ensure that the chimney is long enough. Do not make it too high, more than 10 m. This will negatively affect the heating quality. A too low chimney will not be able to remove all combustion products, which will lead to smoke in the room. The optimal size of the chimney is 4-5 m. If your value is high, install pipes with additional bends and bends.
The carbon monoxide pipe should be located 25 cm from the main floor beams, load-bearing walls and partitions.
Foundation calculation
The foundation must have a depth of at least 500 mm. If you are installing the device in a house that is not constantly heated, then increase this value by 200 mm from the depth of seasonal soil freezing.
Separate the foundation of the heating system from the main foundation with a sand pad. The minimum distance between these structures is 100 mm.
The upper plane of the foundation should not reach the level of the finished floor by 150 mm. The base for the heater should be 5-10 cm larger from its body on all sides.
Fireplace foundation
Height adjustment
To adjust the height of the heater, special bolts are used, which are installed on its legs, or with the help of supports-stands. In order to set the required distance from the bottom of the firebox of the brick structure to the floor, lay several rows of bricks.
Basic requirements before placing the combustion chamber in height:
- you need to provide a distance to the floor of 300-400 mm;
- if there is a niche for firewood under the firebox, this distance may be greater;
- when calculating the placement of the bottom of the combustion chamber, please note that it is necessary to take into account the structure of the floor with all its components. Think about this when planning your heating system.
Calculating the size of the fireplace
Extra options
For a safe heating system in a country house, consider the following additional parameters:
- the protrusion of the base in front of the portal, which tears off the defects of the furnace, not less than 0.5 m;
- protrusion on the sides of the portal - 250-300 mm;
- the pre-furnace sheet should extend 0.2-0.3 m beyond the site;
- the rear wall of the firebox must have an angle of inclination of 20 °;
- the slope of the rear panel starts from 1/3 of the wall;
- the side panels are at an angle of 45-60 °.
Corner model calculation
To determine the size of the fireplace, which is installed in the corner of the room, you need to calculate its area. Divide this figure by 100. As a result, we get the recommended value for the heater. In our case, it is 0.28 sq. m.
The fuel chamber is made in the form of a triangle or trapezoid. This is considered to be the best option to get high productivity.
If you chose the option with a bottom in the shape of a triangle, calculate the width of the furnace section using the formula:
The height of the corner model should be slightly larger than the width. The depth is equal to the value that we get by dividing the width of the firebox by 1.4.
In our case, the width of the combustion chamber will be 1 m, and the height - 1-1.2 m. The depth will be 0.7 m on both sides.
Dimensions and power of the Amur furnace
This type of heating device is very popular among the owners of country houses. With him
when choosing, consider the power of the device, which is indicated in its passport. The dimensions of the fireplace will be determined by this value, which depends on the volume to be burned.
To calculate the power, you need to know the total area of \u200b\u200bthe house, which is multiplied by the height of the ceilings. Divide the resulting figure by 20. This value will determine the minimum power of the installation. The dimensions of the fireplaces will depend on this value.
Which heating device to choose for a country house or summer cottage depends on your taste, but be sure to take into account the recommendations regarding proportions and basic spatial parameters.
