I mounted a reliable foundation for a solid fuel fireplace should start with the fact that a recess of 20-40 centimeters is dug up in the ground, smooth its bottom in a single level, and after, compacted with a tramp.
The very first layer is filled with a small gravel or ordinary brick without a solution and, accordingly, compacting with the help of tamping. The scrupulous well -tamed granules of crushed stone are poured with cement mortar. After, you can also start the basic masonry, monitoring the exact horizontal of the layers of crushed stone or brick block. If it so happened that the soil is moist, it is much better to make the lower part of the massive foundation out of simple stone, only the upper one is to lay out from synthetic masonry brick. Use equipment for the production of blocks.
A strong foundation is required to be wider than the base of the fireplace stove is not less than 5 centimeters from all these sides. The outer sides are made by an ordinary shaft as an ordinary wall, in half a brick, scrupulously cementing the seams. Small ordinary stones, brick fights are thrown inside this ordinary shaft well and, in addition, poured with concrete solution. A massive foundation should end on 2 rows of ordinary stones lower than the general floor level. Immediately before the upper nearby factory brick block, moisture insulation is installed that protects the oven from humidity. It is unacceptable to combine a strong foundation of the stove with the main strong foundation of the house. The smallest distance between them must be kept in the region of five centimeters, the clearance can also be filled with fine -grained sand.
