Accessories for the fireplace, designed for easy operation of the fireplace and providing fire safety

After the fireplace appeared in the house, it would seem, you can sit in a chair and enjoy the long-awaited rest before the burning and crackling logs. But in fact, you need to complete the work, adding it with small things. This will require accessories for the fireplace, most of which not only facilitate interaction with the hearth, but is a necessity.

Before choosing a product, it is recommended that you determine your personal needs and capabilities. This is due to the fact that some firms offer practical products, others - expensive goods with elegant lines or manufactured using expensive materials.

Mandatory fireplace accessories (sets)

Kits for a fireplace are often purchased immediately with the hearth itself. This is due to the fact that they include important parts that will be useful during the operation of the heating and / or decorative structure. The classical set includes:

• Shoulder. It is intended to remove ashes after burning wood. Of course, in a few days it will not accumulate so much to use this object, but once a week you still need to clean the bottom of the fireplace. And experts recommend cleaning the hearth before each ignition.
• Poker. With its help, you can fix the logs, since on the one hand they can completely burn out, and the heat will not spread evenly around the room.
• Forceps. They are useful to turn over thick firewood, and are performed in the form of elongated scissors.
• Brush. It is required in order to clean the bottom of the chimney from the ash.

Thus, all accessories for the fireplace, which are part of the classic sets, you need to buy immediately, and even before the construction of the heating structure is completed. You should also pay attention to the convenience of using them, since they will be used quite often.

Assignment of accessories

There is no such heating structure that starts or ends working independently. Participation of a person in the start or stop is necessary. And accessories for stoves and fireplaces can alleviate this. Therefore, first of all, their purpose is to provide additional convenience to the consumer. Moreover, directly from the quality of the products purchased, it will depend on how safe and fully it is possible to use the hearth.

An additional function that all accessories for a fireplace have, without exception, is decorating. Many copies are specially made by manufacturers in specific styles, so you can pick up the product for any room. In addition, some companies are engaged in the implementation of individual orders, but for the exclusive it is necessary to overpay.

Drovnitsa

Considering that firewood is required during the use of any fireplace, it is necessary to take care of the place where they will be stored. In the market, you can purchase the appropriate accessory, but not always that is suitable for style or, for example, size. Therefore, it is desirable to make a drovnitsu with your own hands. It is recommended to follow certain rules when manufacturing.

First, all accessories for the fireplace, with their own hands they are performed or not, should be portable. This is necessary for convenience, because to remove under them garbage or dust, you need to rearrange the items from place to place. As for the drovnitsy, it is not only intended for keeping a small number of logs, but also their transportation from the main storage. Therefore portability should be its main quality.

Secondly, it will be necessary to attach two handles to it, so that it is convenient to wear it. If it turns out to be large in size, then the knobs are far apart. But to carry this accessory you need two people.

And, thirdly, the drovnitsa should be easy. Given that on top of it are stacked firewood, which have a pretty decent weight, the massiveness of the product itself can cause some inconvenience.

Forged Accessories

Forged accessories for a fireplace, perhaps, are the best. This is due to the fact that they are weakly susceptible to high temperatures, do not burn, they can be washed with any chemical detergents after use. Manufacturers offer several types of these accessories. The most popular are the grilles, which are used as protective screens. However, completely to save the person sitting next to the fireplace, will not work. Therefore, they are most often used for decorative purposes.

Equally popular are the drovnitsy. Thanks to modern forging technology, the accessories for the fireplace are very elegant and stylish. A photo with their image will help you choose the most suitable for the style of the copy. Moreover, the thin lines and small diameter of the fence allows you to buy a light and compact drovnitsu.

Also among the forged accessories you can often find kits. However, they are less popular, as it is not very convenient to hold a cold metal handle. A more practical solution is to buy combined sets, where the handle is made of wood, and the very base itself is made of metal.

Protective screen

All accessories for the fireplace are designed to ensure the convenience of its use. But there is one that focuses on the safety of people who enjoy the warmth and comfort of the hearth. This is the screen. First, if someone wants to settle in the immediate vicinity of the fireplace, then it is not safe to do this without adequate protection. Secondly, next to the hearth, a carpet or a carpet can be laid, which will ignite when sparks hit it.

Screens are of two types - with one section and with several. The second option is more expensive, but it is more functional. It can be placed directly around the fireplace to protect everything that is located next to it, from getting sparks. The height and width of the screen should be larger than the size of the hearth. It should also be noted that these accessories protect not only from ignitions, but also the internal space from soot and soot.

Conclusion

Despite the fact that accessories for stoves and fireplaces carry in themselves primarily a decorative function, as they complement the image of the hearth, they can not be underestimated. It is highly discouraged to save on such products, even if their appearance is not very appropriate to the interior. However, their functionality associated with fire safety, should always be taken into account when purchasing. It is not necessary to buy accessories that simply fell into disposition, it is necessary that they meet certain operational requirements.
