Drovnitsa for fireplace in the interior

Fireplaces create comfort in homes and give warmth, because it is so pleasant to watch how the fire burns merrily in the firebox and the wood crackles. Today, fireplaces are no longer a rarity, the choice of models and types of stoves is huge: they are made from different materials and in any style at the request of the client. In addition to the fireplace itself, additional details are placed in the room: a wood grater, a poker and a scoop, a whisk for sweeping ashes. These accessories are necessary for normal operation of the fireplace and care for it.

So that in the fireplace the flame burned all evening and did not have to go out periodically on the street for a new portion of firewood, a special container was placed in the room. Firewood must be dry, so the firewood has an open form and is placed near the hearth, so that the logs dry up faster.

The safest, from a fire point of view, place for a room fire chamber is on the side of the fireplace. In this case, the sparks will not be able to get on an armful of logs, and it will also be convenient to throw them into the furnace.

The design of such a stand should solve the problem of storing firewood and meet the following requirements:

• to accommodate a sufficient amount of firewood, so as not to go out at least during the evening;
• it is desirable to have a bottom or stand, where pieces of bark, dust and sawdust will be poured;
• have a decorative look, harmoniously combined in style with the rest of the interior.

Stand for storing firewood can be stationary and portable. A special drovnik is being built on the street, in which they store the entire supply for the winter, and bring a smaller portion to the room. For furnace heating they use not only firewood, but also special artificial briquettes of long burning or pellets.

When laying out a classic-shaped fireplace and in the country style, you can lay out a special niche into which you can then put fuel. A prikaminnaya bench with a notch or shelf will also be a great solution for storing fuel. The size of a portable logger is chosen so that it is comfortable and easy to carry. Stationary storage structures are heavier and can hold more firewood.

Drovnitsy can be made of brick, stone, metal, solid wood, plywood, cord, glass, as well as their combinations. They can be decorated with various decorative elements and ornaments. The stores sell ready-made kits for fireplaces, which include firewood holders and other necessary accessories. Such a set can be easily made with your own hands. Among the additional details for fireplaces there are ceramic firewood, but it is absolutely impossible to drown them - they perform a purely decorative function.

Forged wood planter with a metal bottom is very popular: it is combined with fireplaces of any style, can have a different shape and design, has considerable weight and looks attractive in the interior with and without firewood. To reduce the weight of the structure, sometimes the holder is made without a solid bottom, but only with a grid. Its disadvantage is that the dust and sawdust will fall directly on the floor.

Original and at home looks woven from a thick non-combustible cord or knitted carrying-drovnitsa. You can also sew it from thick fabric, for example, thick drape with a suitable texture. Also popular are baskets and crates made of wicker, rattan or artificial materials.Numerous manufacturers offer branded elite holders from non-standard expensive materials, such as tempered glass and chrome-plated high-tech steel.

Wooden fuel boxes are perfect for country houses and country-style interiors.made of oak or plywood, varnished or painted. Any box or bucket, if desired, and minimal skills can be turned into a vintage or modern holder for logs, making it to your liking. You can also buy or assemble your own racks or shelves from boards or light bars, put them in a corner or attach to the wall.

The design of fuel storage is pleasing to the eye with its diversity. This is where creative fantasy can roam, and a variety of materials are used.

The drovnitsa executed in the form of a vertical rack looks very stylish.It takes up little space, can be placed against a wall or in a corner, near the hearth. If you put the same rack horizontally, you’ll have a bench with a vault inside. To fully merge with the decor of the room, you can paint the wood bowl in the appropriate color or varnish it, revealing in the best way the texture of the wood.

Vertical tendencies have become a vertical niche, sometimes reaching the ceiling. Together with firewood, they look like strips of vertical finish with the original texture and are a bright accent in the interior. If desired, this niche can be hidden in a corner and made invisible.

Fireplaces in high-tech style put in the appropriate interior - a modern, which is ruled by straight lines and simple shapes. The material for such trendy fireplaces is tempered glass and chrome steel in combination with other materials. Drovnitsy for these designs also fit into the general ensemble. For example, the glass cube framed with a steel strip, with illumination and finishing from a gray stone will look originally. Vertical niches of strict rectangular shapes when laying firewood form a column contrasting the rest of the wall, which animates the room.

Illumination is used in false fireplaces, creating an imitation of the flame, glare of fire, the illusion of red-hot logs. Such furnaces are absolutely safe and create coziness just like real fireboxes. In the woods near these hearths are artificial ceramic firewood.

For self-production of simple firewood plywood does not require complex equipment, building skills here will also be useless - even a beginner can cope with this. For a basis, you can take the design of the finished product and make a similar one.

It is only necessary to study the technology and prepare the following tools and materials:

• ruler and pencil (construction marker);
• handsaw, jigsaw, jigsaw;
• mounting material, screws;
• hot water, roomy basin;
• plywood;
• drill or screwdriver;
• wooden slats, wooden handle.

First you need to take a sheet of plywood and a pencil to draw an ellipse about 90x40 cm in size on it. Then use a hacksaw or a jigsaw to cut the shape along the drawn outline, carefully and accurately repeating the line.

Initially, plywood does not have plasticity, therefore, it cannot be bent without breakage. To give her the necessary properties will help hot water. Sawed ellipse must be placed in a container with hot water for 1 hour. After this time, the plywood will swell and become more plastic. Then it can be smoothly bent. If, after 1 hour of soaking, the plywood does not become flexible, you can hold it for another 30 minutes in warm water.

Now you can slowly bend the sheet until you get the desired spherical shape. After that, you need to insert a wooden handle into the previously drilled holes. For immobility it is fixed shkantom. Further from two laths do runners for a drovnits that it strongly stood on a floor. Attach them with a screwdriver and screws.All is ready! Now you can store firewood in a beautiful, hand-made, portable stand.

From a sheet of metal, you can bend a rectangular or semicircular shape and paint it in the desired color. This is a very simple way to create a sleek and stylish firewood stand.

Tin pails used as log carriers are very popular. They can be decorated in various ways: age or color depending on the effect you want to get.

Simple and elegant solution, simple in execution:

• take old shelves or churn new ones;
• varnish or paint them;
• place on the wall - on both sides of the fireplace - symmetrically or randomly.

For a classic interior or Empire style, it is typical to use a natural or artificial stone for facing fireplaces. Woodpile can be issued in the same style.

For this you need:

• make a fill shape;
• mix concrete with reinforcing fiber for strength;
• pour in the form;
• wait for drying;
• to revet with an artificial stone or a mosaic tile, to paste plaster bas-reliefs (it is better to use the same shades and elements, as in finishing of the furnace).

In order to keep the fireplace warm, and the firewood was always dry and at hand, it is necessary to follow the recommendations of manufacturers and specialists: to properly care for the fireplace and store fuel for it. Before the firewood will be brought into the room, they are usually stored on the street.

It is recommended to make a woodsmith, on a wooden base, under which is poured a drainage pad of sand and rubble. So you can reduce moisture and eliminate contact with the soil, so that the lower layers do not start to rot. The canopy protecting firewood from a rain and snow is obligatory, the wood well absorbs moisture. All fuel must be thoroughly dried before laying to avoid unwanted condensation. So that the wood does not become rotten and rotten, there must be sufficient ventilation in the woodshed.

It is better to stack firewood in the following order: at the bottom, lay the largest and thickest logs, gradually lay out smaller firewood, and place fine chips for ignition on top.Chips can be placed on a separate shelf or in a specially arranged sector of woodpile. A shed or terrace attached to the house will allow fuel to be stored near the entrance for convenient replenishment of the room in bad weather.

Fire safety is a very important aspect of the fireplace.therefore, a dry fuel tank must not be placed too close to an open flame or faulty wiring: the slightest spark can cause a fire. But with knowledge and safety measures, these problems can be prevented. Under the fireplace and in front of the furnace there must be a platform made of non-combustible and fire-resistant material: metal, stone, concrete. Under the hanging and wall models also make a platform. The wall behind the fireplace, located in the wall space, is also finished with heat-resistant non-combustible materials. Special glass screens and doors, fireplace grilles prevent sparks and embers from falling on the floor surface.

Another piece of advice on the correct packing of fuel for the winter: as the logs are pulled out of the drovnik, it is unacceptable for the wood stack to roll over or peel, and the wood to spill out of it.It is necessary to chop up large logs, prepare chips for ignition. Additional props should be installed on the sides so that the rows of firewood would not disintegrate and crumble. Stacking is possible when logs lay out row by row around the circumference. The result is a stack of fuel.

Special long burning briquettes were invented as fuel for the fireplace. They are sold in packaging and stored dry in a wood burning container.

The design of the fireplace area can be an expression of the wonderful taste of the owners, if the combination of textures and shades of materials are ideally combined with each other. Stone, wood and metal are combined into a single impressive ensemble. The grandiose panel in the whole wall is lined with stone, the front bench is entirely stone, and the firebox is made of metal. Symmetrically on both sides of the furnace are two identical metal fireplaces filled with fuel. The shade of wood emphasizes stone and metal, natural materials form a single composition.

For a living room in a classic, elegant style, the design of a fireplace with tiles and marble will be a good solution, and it is better to decorate the fireplace grate and additional accessories with decorative wrought-iron elements.Drovnitsa, stand and set for the care of the fireplace, grille, made in the same style. Guests will be delighted and happy to rest at this beautiful and warm hearth. The flame is viewed through the grille and a transparent screen, additionally reflected from the back wall of the firebox, lined with fire-resistant tiles.
