Ten years ago, fireplaces began to be mass-produced - these are beautiful fireboxes of various sizes, made with various decorative finishes.

For several years, they successfully replaced the old Russian stoves. Till today…

Some history and facts.

The furnace is part of Russian folklore! There is no exact information when the prototypes of these constructions first appeared. However, at first they had a completely different look, a little resembling the Russians we were used to. And only recently, people began to build them in their design and mind similar to their counterparts. Today, such structures are part of the houses in the Russian villages, where there is only stove heating and not a gas. They are heated by people house, they cook, heat food and bake.

What does a traditional Russian stove with a sunbed consist of?

The Russian stove is quite massive, its weight reaches several hundred kilograms, so it needs a foundation. In the old days, its role was performed by old stones and logs, which were laid at the base. Today it is reinforced concrete or brick masonry.

It is better to plan construction at the stage of creating a project for a house. If the structure is already there, the foundation still needs to be made durable!

Main elements:

  • The lower part is the base. It has a niche for storing fuel or kitchen utensils. With this base, the combustion chamber is lifted to the desired height.
  • Top cuts covers vault-trough. A layer of sand or clay is poured on it. Such technology will be applied to keep heat.
  • The bottom of the firebox (under) is made with a slight bias towards the rear wall. This is done so that the fuel burns evenly in the chamber.
  • The furnace stove consists of two parts: the cooking chamber and the firebox. The cooking chamber is clean without logs and ash, since the fuel is put into the distant chamber - the firebox.
  • Above the firebox there is a vault - this is the overlap that separates the firebox and the lower part of the sunbed.
  • Sunbed can be built along the entire length of the firebox. When there is a fire, the sun spreads to the lounger.
  • The chimney is installed above the first chamber, where food is prepared.At its turn, the valve is installed and the viewing window. By means of the flap, the intensity of combustion in the furnace is regulated.

Depending on the design features may have steps leading to the lounger. Also, often along the chimney, small shelves are made in order to install the decor there.

Modern Russian stoves: what are they?

May be different in size and functionality. Traditional options have dimensions: length - 2.5 meters, width - 1.5 meters. Products can be of different sizes:

In rare cases, furnaces can be built to nonstandard sizes.

But the old few people were satisfied - an unattractive look, the possibility of cooking only inside the hearth, limited opportunities. Thanks to the work of the masters and the change of designs, Russian stoves regained popularity. They have everything you need for heating your home, cooking and more.

Modern option

So, the latest additions:

  • equipped with cooking flooring. Such designs are multifunctional and can replace any cooking surfaces and stoves;
  • with a fireplace. This option is a new trend. Its peculiarity is that the back wall of the firebox construction is led out to another room through the wall. Thus, it turns out that in one design two are combined: a fireplace with a flame effect and all the magnificent sounds of crackling firewood, as well as a classic Russian stove that heats the house, has a firebox for cooking and a stove for cooking;
  • with a bench. In the classic versions, it was very large. On the lounger could fit three people. Analog has a lounger, but only reduced. It is enough for a comfortable arrangement of one person. However, this disadvantage can be easily compensated by an additional trestle bed.

According to fire safety rules, all furniture and appliances should be at a distance of 1 meter from the firebox!

Pros and cons of designs

In addition to beauty and warmth, they have some advantages:

  • uniform return of heat and its accumulation;
  • high level of efficiency;
  • lower heating Classic options have been deprived of this. Only after some time, the builders modified the furnace, making them more practical to use. This feature makes it possible to heat the room as a whole;
  • high security. Since all the structures are laid out of brick, the walls of the furnace do not heat to such a temperature as to cause a fire or burn;
  • built-in stove. It gives housewives the opportunity to prepare food in the usual way for them;
  • long service life. Properly made design is able to serve more than 30 years.

Minuses:

  • will have to procure solid fuel for the winter;
  • the firewood will have to be dried, since it is impossible to put damp into the firebox;
  • When the house is heated by a Russian stove, excessive fuel debris arises.

Warm and cozy sleeping place

Warm and cozy sleeping place

It is impossible to call the Russian furnace an ideal device - it has positive sides and non-delivery. For example, to learn how to cook in it, the hostess will have to go through a long stage of training. Ignition will require firewood, which will have to be harvested. These are, of course, not electric or gas boilers that everyone is used to. But, the Russian stove has a lot of positive aspects:

  • have the opportunity to cook great dishes. They are very tasty and different from those cooked on the stove;
  • Depending on the design features, the Russian stove can be equipped with a sun bed, which makes it possible to rest comfortably during the cold season. It can also have shelves;
  • and finally the flame effect, the sound of the crackling of the logs and the flickering fire - no device can replace this.

Brick version is a classic

Brick version is a classic

Benefits:

  • Brick lasts longer than all other materials. The stove erected from it will give out longer heat after the attenuation of the fire. As a result, the rooms will stay warm for a long time.
  • A large construction can heat even a large house of several floors. This is possible if it is installed in the middle of the house, and the chimney is displayed upwards inside the walls that divide the rooms on the second floor. Today, the chimney is no longer made of ordinary brickwork. It is made of galvanized or stainless pipes that run in the middle of the compartment located inside the walls. And if in the course of the chimney to make ventilation grilles in the compartments, then the heat emitted from the pipe will spread throughout the premises.
  • The brick does not heat up to a temperature capable of creating a fire. This building material is quite durable and practical. It can be used as a basis for applying decorative plaster, pasting tiles and other finishing materials. Moreover, he is able to serve without restoration for 30 years.
  • The cost of this design is not high compared with the acquisition of a cast-iron firebox and a marble portal. It is worth noting that most of the cost is given to the creation of a quality foundation.

Modern and stylish

Modern and stylish

Unfortunately, like the others, brick ones are not without flaws. To the main one can be attributed to the fact that it is necessary to build a strong foundation for a brick construction. This may be a monolithic or reinforced concrete structure. If you install a brick without a foundation, the floor under its mass can subside.

Precautionary measures

Russian brick stove can not be installed in all parts of the house. The location directly depends on the structural features of the building. Better when the idea of ​​construction appears at the design stage of the house. Then it is possible to correctly calculate the location, as well as make the appropriate foundation.

If the house is already built, then you will need to disassemble the floor in the place where the hearth will be installed to the ground and do the scaffolding.
