False fireplace: varieties and operating principle
Falshkan is a design that completely or partially repeats the appearance of a conventional fireplace. But since the design is only an imitation of the real fireplace, there is no chimney in it.
But this does not mean at all that falshkin is just a shell, which is only a decoration that does not fulfill its main purpose. Most people build a fireplace in order to enjoy the sight of the flame. It is clear that in a city apartment and, besides, without a suitable chimney, it's simply not safe to fire wood. However, it is possible to reproduce the appearance of a burning flame in other ways.
- , for example, the portal of false can be decorated with ordinary firewood and set them high candles. When the candles are on fire, the impression is created that the fire comes from firewood;
- also for this purpose it is possible to use a bio fireplace that almost completely repeats the type of the burning hearth;
- , in addition, there is an interesting device that is ideal for falshkina. Such a device is an electronic photo frame. Having chosen the necessary mode, the LCD display of the photo frame will glow with flame flames, which will create a complete illusion of real fire.

The choice of the principle of the work of a false fireplace directly depends on the peculiarity of its design. It is accepted to distinguish three types of fireplace imitations:
- authentic;
- are conditional;
- symbolic.
Authentic false cuffs differ from their older counterparts only in the absence of a chimney. All other parameters of this design( size, height, depth of the furnace, etc.) exactly repeat the present fireplace. The frame for a reliable falsh-fireplace is most often made of plasterboard, the surface of which can be plastered, wallpapered or decorated with other materials - wood panels, pebbles, marble chips, etc. If you intend to make a false-fireplace of this type with your own hands, consider that the depth of its firebox should be at least 40cm. To reproduce the appearance of a burning fire in a reliable false fireplace, it is possible by all the above-mentioned methods: candles, a bio-burner or using an electronic photo frame.

Conditional false fireplaces are easiest to create if the room initially contains a niche up to 20cm deep. Fireplace imitations of this type are distinguished by the presence of a portal, which are wall niches. The frame of the conditional forgery can be made of anything: gypsum board, foam, polyurethane, wood, etc. In this case, the kind of burning flame is easiest to designate using candles, a photo frame of the appropriate size or illumination. In order to make the firebox of the conventional falsh-fireplace seem bigger, the niche walls can be decorated with a mirror tile.

Symbolic false-fireplace has the most unusual design. Unlike previous versions, the task of this design is to simulate an external fireplace, without performing its function. Simply put, this is only an abstract imitation of the present construction. To make a symbolic forgery, you can use almost any material - brick, stone, wood, drywall, etc. Symbolic designs, as a rule, do not correspond to the present fireplaces neither in size nor in form. Some designers use the interior stickers to create the appearance of the fireplace or simply paint it on the wall. If the design allows the designation of a fire, it is better to use decorative candles or lighting for this purpose.
