DO-IT-YOURSELF FAKE FIREPLACE FOR THE NEW YEAR

Send

Outside the windows, snow crunches from the steps of passers-by, snowflakes sparkle in the light of lanterns, and everything is preparing for the New Year. You are sitting in a comfortable chair by the fireplace with a cup of coffee and making a list of gifts ...
- Stop! And if I don’t have a fireplace, what should I do?
- So do it yourself! We will tell you how!
To make a fake fireplace you will need: aluminum profile, drywall, facing tile, wooden board, self-tapping screws, tile adhesive, wood stain and patience!
Stage One.
We determine the dimensions of the future fireplace (width, height, depth) and the internal screen. We determine the location (if you will make lighting, focus on sockets). We build the lower tier from the profile and fasten it to the wall. Further, it is better to sheathe it immediately with drywall, so as not to be injured by the corners themselves (checked!). Now we are building a sectional profile design, which will be the "skeleton" of the fireplace. Do not forget about the selected screen sizes!

Stage Two.
We sheathe our structure with drywall from all sides, not forgetting about the peak of the fireplace. If you have a screwdriver, a jigsaw and a cutter at your fingertips, this will not take much time.

Stage Three.
We spread the case of the false fireplace with tiles. You choose the material to your taste - the mass of options. We used facing tiles in this case, although initially we wanted to stay on a simplified version with "brick-like" PVC panels. We “customize” the tile and glue it using glue for tiles or tile mastic. The screen can also be anything you like, since the Internet offers many variations. We have it from the same decorative material as the whole fireplace. So, we close the entire area, except for the top, where the countertop will lie.

Stage Four.
Choose a countertop. We settled on a wooden shield, having previously treated it with a stain. We fix the countertop with self-tapping screws when everything is completely dry.

Stage Five.
We decorate and decorate our new fireplace. Then we pour ourselves something tasty and sit in a chair opposite to contemplate the result of our labors!
