Painting plastered brick wall near combustion fireplace
Comments (3)I'd presume the combustion fireplace is a built-in unit. I remember ours heating the bricks up quite well. I don't see an issue plastering the brickwork but look to use 'Fyrechek' which is a fire retardant plasterboard. The bricks could also be rendered instead but I reckon you'd be able to pick the different surfaces once painted. I wouldn't think you'd need a heat resistant paint. The walls would be warm but no warmer than a wall copping direct summer sunlight....See MoreNeed help to design wall for gas fireplace
Comments (8)any gas log fireplace should have very specific instructions for safe installation with measurements for distance from back and side walls, height above floor and height of any mantlepiece above the front of the heater and details of the correct method to enclose the flue..first check these instructions and then decorative finishes will be much easier to decide...if you haven't chosen your heater yet all the instructions should be available on line and this will also help decide the best heater for the space available...See MoreClerestory Windows above TV?
Comments (6)My internet keeps dropping out since the NBN went past out house so I hope this works.... we are designing our new extension to our federation sandstone villa, which I have sought advice on before in this forum (thanks for the useful replies). At the moment we are working with our building designer who I am impressed with but I am not sure on one particular aspect. I was thinking that the South facing wall in my husband's drafting (which is in earlier note) would have the TV, fireplace and also some clerestory windows along some of the top (they presumably couldn't go the whole way along because of the fireplace), and a large artwork above the fireplace . The look I am aiming for is something like the first photo , but with the windows and art added. I like a fairly minimalist look generally with "stuff" hidden in built in storage. The designer said it would be better not to have clerestory windows above the TV due to glare but rather to have windows either side of the fireplace and TV and then you can use blinds if there is glare. This may mess up my nice clean look so I am not sure - what do you guys think? Also the trampoline, a fence and out little veggie patch will behind the Southern wall so I don't really want them particularly visible. There will be windows/glass doors on the North, West and a little from the East so plenty of light from other directions.( Do I even need windows on the Southern side?) One option I thought of to make a window on this wall less of a feature, is just to have one and have it set back a bit. It would be set back by necessity I suppose due to the depth of the fireplace. The 2nd picture has clerestory windows above the tv but with the windows set back so maybe glare is less of an issue with that design ? I guess I could put the TV on the Western wall of the living area but I would have thought the glare would be worse there as we will have a large picture window out to the pool on the side that faces East. We were actually thinking we would have storage and a study nook hidden behind doors that fold away on that Western side. (By the way, when looking at our plans please disregard other aspects as we know there are other details / dimensions/ door/window extent and positions etc that don't work yet and they are a work in progress). Thanks for any thoughts you have....See MoreTV above fire: Yes or no?
Comments (16)Swapping the rooms has worked from my point of view. The fireplace is way too beatiful to be covered by a TV. The air con is better too as theres nothing worse than having it blowing over you while you eat, yet now will be good in summer when watching TV. Its not a huge space by the look of it but for all intents and purposes it all looks amazing....See MoreAdriana Nascimento
