What do we mean, when we say ???????my home???????, ???????my house???????? For most of us it is our own corner in this big world, a place where we feel comfortable, in safety and harmony. Much can be learned about the person, having visited his or her house. Our house talks about our tastes, character, values, social status… Due to a large choice of furniture and accessories each house gets own style.
Today we???????ll talk about the warmest detail of the house, about its heart. As far as you understand, our conversation will be devoted to a fireplace.????
In general, a fireplace is an architectural element consisting of a space made to keep a fire, usually for heating but sometimes it is also used for cooking.
From the constructive point of view, the space where the fire is contained is called a firebox; a chimney or other flue allows gas and particulate exhaust to escape the building.
????Usually, the fireplaces are constructed in building interiors (inside the house), but in some cases, outdoor fireplaces are built for evening warmth, preparing food or for other decorative purposes.
There are many types of fireplaces: coal, wood or peat burning fires were widely spread till early 90-s and then they were mainly replaced by cleaner and safer natural gas or electric systems.
Nevertheless, fireplace is more than a decorative element but it is a heart of your house, a place to sit with your friends, or just your thoughts. So, the type and the style of the fireplace is the expression of your vision of calmness and cosiness.
