Speaking about the cost of a brick fireplace for your house or turnkey cottage, adjust that the final price for it will be formed during the construction process. At your first meeting, the master stove-maker can only approximately voice the value of your idea, based on the experience of his previous work. There is no specific price for such fireplaces, but there is a price range. It can range from 120-150 thousand rubles to infinity, depending on your flight of thought. Here are some factors that affect the price of a fireplace:
- the size. The consumption of building materials (cement, brick, finishing materials) directly depends on the size,
- a type. Depending on the chosen option (wall, corner, built-in or main), the price of the chimney - the most important structural unit of the fireplace, will vary
- quality of raw materials. When choosing materials for construction (primarily brick), it is worth entrusting the choice to a master who knows the thermophysical features of different grades and competently combines ordinary and refractory bricks,
- facing. This cost item is submitted separately, because depending on your desires and capabilities, the price of the cladding can vary by a factor of ten. Tiles, cast-iron cladding or natural stone - all these are more or less budget options for cladding,
- qualification of the master. Perhaps this factor should be the first on our list, because it is most important when building a fireplace. A good master will tell you how to save on materials, do your job quickly and efficiently. But it’s the services of the stove-maker that form the final cost of the fireplace.
Now, having decided on the main cost items, let's see what you can save on.
Facing and decorating the fireplace is by far the most reasonable option for saving. If you have minimal masonry skills, you can lay out the cladding yourself. The tile market is now teeming with offers, and you can pick up a product of good quality and suitable colors at an affordable cost. Another option for saving on cladding is replacing natural stone with artificial. Having made the facing yourself, in addition to saving money, you will also receive satisfaction from having invested a part of your labor in the creation of the fireplace.
Trying to minimize the cost of your future fireplace, do not forget about the saying "avaricious pays twice."
What can not be saved
A good master stove-maker is the key to a good home! Firstly, it will help you choose high-quality and modern materials, and often offer them yourself. Sometimes it will be even more profitable than independent purchase of materials. Secondly, a qualified craftsman has less material consumption for various unforeseen circumstances and marriage. And thirdly, a professional values his reputation and will certainly lay down for you a real fireplace that will delight you and your family for many years.
Consumables - the most expensive part in the construction of the fireplace. To evaluate them in monetary terms, we give the most general list of necessary building materials:
- for the foundation - sand, gravel, mortar cement, bitumen, ruberoid, for large structures - additional fittings,
- for masonry fireplace - ordinary and refractory bricks, clay mixture for laying fireplaces (you can buy ready-made in stores or prepare a solution yourself), grate,
- for chimney - ceramic or steel pipe, fireclay brick,
- for fireplace mantel - the desired coating (tile, stone, decorative brick), a mixture for plastering the body,
- fireplace accessories (woodpile, fireplace grate, stand, spatula, tongs, etc.).
The benefits of electric fireplaces
Firstly, due to a number of conditions, wood-burning fireplaces are completely unsuitable for installation in city apartments. Yes, and to install it in a private house, most likely it will take a lot of time and cost to obtain all the necessary documents and hire a qualified specialist who can mount the fireplace. Of course, a living flame is pleasing to the eye, but we must not forget about the increased threat of fires in a house where there is a classic fireplace.
The installation of a biofireplace is less complicated, however, even here you will need to spend money on the hood. And for the electric fireplace to work, the only thing you need is a regular electrical outlet. No installation of ventilation equipment or other types of installation work is required. Just insert the fireplace into the outlet and that's it! You can enjoy the beautiful flame.
Of course, many may argue that electric fireplaces can never compete with wood-burning fireplaces in the beauty and authenticity of the flame. However, in our age of high technology, this statement has long been debunked. The use of modern fire simulation systems makes fire in electric fireplaces so realistic and genuine that it is almost impossible to distinguish it from a real flame. At the same time, in some models there are artificial logs and coals, which, thanks to special lighting, create the feeling of a real hearth. Such decorative electric fireplaces can create a true atmosphere of comfort in any home and will give you an indescribable feeling from the sight of playing tongues of flame, accompanied by a quiet symphony of crackling firewood and coals. In urban apartments, only electric fireplaces can achieve this, since now any biofireplace can only simulate burning.
Another advantage in the piggy bank of electric fireplaces, and a stone in the garden of their wood and chemical analogues is ease of use. Those who have a classic fireplace in the house know how laborious the process of cleaning the hearth from ash and soot is. In addition, such fireplaces require constant flooding, which can not be called an economical way of heating a. Biofuel fireplaces also constantly require a gulf of chemical fuel. Moreover, it is not known how high-quality liquid fuel is and whether harmful fumes will be emitted during combustion. Electric brothers are completely devoid of such problems. To use the fireplace requires a very small amount of electricity. It is enough to insert the fireplace into the outlet, press the button on the control panel and it will delight your eye as much as you need. In addition, not one of the types of fireplaces does not allow you to personally adjust the strength and brightness of the fire using the control panel, while not getting up from an armchair or sofa. This is an exceptional feature of electric fireplaces. It is also worth noting that an electric fireplace is able to easily heat a room of 20 square meters. m., which makes it also an excellent means for heating a residential building.
And finally, another important advantage that differs electric fireplaces from their counterparts is the cost. The prices for electric models are noticeably lower than for biofireplaces, and even more so for wood foci. This is despite the fact that they are in no way inferior to other types of fireplaces, both in technical characteristics and in appearance, and in some cases even surpass them. Anyone can buy an electric fireplace, and at the same time, he gets a unique opportunity to make his house more luxurious and comfortable, causing the envious glances of neighbors and acquaintances.

One of the common questions when planning a fireplace purchase is its cost. It is almost impossible to give an exact value without measurement, since many parameters can influence the price. The cost of the fireplace depends on its design, the price of the furnace, cladding, the number of insulating materials, the height and configuration of the chimney, the type of finish and much more. But you can give an approximate cost.
What is the final cost of the fireplace made up of?
The price of a fireplace depends on:
- Cost of materials and equipment. These are: firebox, cladding, insulating materials, chimney, other materials for installation and general building materials.
- The cost of the construction of the fireplace.
The heart of the fireplace is the fireplace insert. The power of the fireplace depends on it, i.e. its heating ability. And the beauty of burning. In low-cost fire chambers, combustion is practically not regulated; burning is like a fire. In expensive fire chambers, you can get a very colorful burning, various modes are available - from the northern lights, to a violent storm with the effect of a fiery rain.
The framing of the fireplace is facing. This is the visible part of the fireplace, which determines its style and design. The price of cladding depends on its size, type of material and quality of these materials. So a marble portal from a rare variety of marble with many complex monograms and patterns can cost more than 1 million rubles and up to 80% of the budget of the entire fireplace. And vice versa - inexpensive options for beautiful polymer concrete claddings are available, costing from 15 thousand rubles.
If in the first place for you the heating capabilities of the fireplace (the fireplace is used as the main or backup source of heating), then you should start choosing a fireplace from the firebox, then select the lining for it and everything else. If the issue of heating has already been resolved, and the main design for you in the fireplace, then you should start the choice of a fireplace with a cladding, and then select everything else for it.
There are a lot of options for the location and decoration of fireplaces. In the example of calculating the cost, we take a fireplace with a fire chamber with direct glass, a width of 800-900mm.
1. Let's start with the chimney.
In the example, we will use a chimney system with a height of 7 meters and a diameter of 200 mm.
Premium option will be: a ceramic chimney from the German manufacturer Shidel, with a cost of 79022 rubles, and a domestic chimney Vulcan of austenitic stainless steel, with a cost of 60443 rubles.
This includes the cost of the entire kit. It is worth considering that the cost of further installation of the ceramic chimney will be approximately 2 times higher compared to a steel chimney. It is also worth considering that the cost of installing a steel chimney is in no way related to the cost of the chimney. Those. a chimney for 10 thousand rubles and for 50 thousand rubles will have the same installation cost.
Middle option. You can take a more economical option. For this, a chimney made of AISI 439 stainless steel, 0.8 mm thick, from the domestic manufacturer Smoke, is suitable. The cost of a set of such a chimney of 7 meters will be - 43592 rubles.
Economy option. An even simpler option would be to use chimneys made of stainless steel AISI 430, 0.5 mm thick, from domestic manufacturers. The cost of a set of such a chimney for 7 meters will be from 15 thousand rubles. But we do not recommend this option. It will last only a couple of years, after which it will require dismantling and replacing the chimney system, and this pleasure is not cheap (from 30-40 thousand at least). In addition, most brands of chimneys in this segment immediately after the expiration of the warranty period become potentially flammable - insulation is sintered in them and corrosion can occur, and the integrity of the elements of the chimney system may be compromised.
Another saving option. If the house has a finished brick chimney - you can use it. A fireplace is connected either to a brick shaft - not the best option, because over time, soot will begin to accumulate in the corners of the pipe, but the costs are zero. Or, inside a brick pipe, a single-layer stainless steel sleeve is used. This is a great option. The cost will be from 12-15 thousand rubles.
2. Fireplace insert
A direct glass firebox is involved in this project. To get a price in several versions, you can choose fireplace inserts from Germany, the Czech Republic, Poland and Russia.
Germany - Brunner - premium workmanship, high reliability, beautiful combustion, many convenient little things and innovative solutions.
Czech Republic - Romotop - the average price segment and premium quality. High reliability and beautiful burning. A little less innovation, but at a very decent level.
Poland - Kaw-Met - the upper segment of the economy option. Good reliability. High smoke collector so that the furnace does not smoke when opening. Clean glass system. High quality cast iron. Glass printing and many more pleasant things. But at the same time, build quality and burning beauty are an order of magnitude worse than the first two options. Opening the glass only sideways (the first two options had the glass rising up).
Russia - Meta - economy option. A reliable option with a minimum of combustion adjustments. In this case, there is a glass lift up.
3. Fireplace lining.
It all depends on your imagination and desires. A number of nuances should be taken into account.
- Firstly, in an expensive lining you can put a budget firebox and vice versa.
- Secondly, stone cladding will be more expensive.
- Thirdly, the lining of natural materials will be more expensive.
- Fourth, in order to achieve the perfect connection between the furnace and the cladding, you must either choose a ready-made kit from one manufacturer. Or order a lining for a specific furnace.
- Fifth, you can sew a firebox into a false wall made of superisole. In recent years, this is one of the most popular options.
Therefore, the price range is very large. To get at least some kind of guidance, consider several options.
Option 1. We sew the firebox into the wall from the super-isolate.
The photo shows the option without finishing. The cost of materials for the execution of such cladding will be approximately 80-150 thousand rubles.
Option 2. Marble portal.
The cost will vary greatly depending on the type of stone and its grade. The portal on the photo costs about 80-110 thousand rubles. But if you change the grade of marble, take another model of the portal, supplement it with complex patterns and carvings - then the cost of the portal can easily be 1 million rubles. and higher.
Option 3. Serial cladding complete with firebox (from the same manufacturer). For example, the manufacturer Meta.
The price of such a country-style cladding is 67 thousand rubles. Other cladding options are available. Usually, 4-7 cladding options are suitable for one firebox. In this case, the range of prices for facing is from 67 to 138 thousand rubles. The advantage of this option is that the furnace and cladding are initially completely suitable for each other and form a single set.
