Hanging fireplace - one of the most vivid inventions of mankind in the last century. Such an unordinary, like floating in the air design, is a masterpiece of modernity, while retaining all the advantages of the classic hearth.

Types of suspended fireplaces
First of all, such fireplaces are subdivided into species depending on the fuel used. So, for today there are wood fireplaces and working on biofuel. The chimney chimney is a long cylinder, but at times it is given a bizarre shape.
By the type of firebox, such fireplaces are closed and open. In the second case, the furnace doors are made of refractory glass, which increases the view. There are models that can turn from closed to open and vice versa due to the moving upper casing.
Wood fireplaces with an open type of firebox can be installed only in spacious rooms with a good exhaust ventilation system. A finishing of surrounding objects and coatings should be made of fire-resistant materials.
Biofireplaces work on ethanol, so they do not need a chimney. This immediately reduces the weight of the structure from 50 kg to 7-10 kg. In addition, such fireplaces are much easier to maintain and maintain.
In the place of attachment of suspended fireplaces, we can distinguish:
- wall, when the weight of the structure falls on the wall;
- Island, suspended from the ceiling with a chimney, they have no points of contact with the walls;
- rotating island fireplaces - can make a complete revolution around the axis, more precisely - with respect to the chimney.
As for the shape of the suspended fireplace, modern technologies allow to give the metal case the most diverse outlines. The most common round pendant fireplace, but there are products simply fantastic forms.
