ᐅ Placement of Chimney / Panoramic Fireplace

Hello,

we are in the final stages of planning our house and floor layout, but the topic of the fireplace and chimney is really giving us trouble. Our preferred chimney location was not approved due to the roof slopes, so we have to reconsider.

We are now considering a panoramic fireplace, which would also function as a kind of room divider. We like, for example, this one:

What I am wondering now is—where does the chimney go in this case? Does it have to be directly behind the fireplace, that is, between the wall and the fireplace? Or can it also be located above the fireplace? Surely it is arranged like this in the fireplace shown in the picture (or the chimney is behind/inside the wall)? I am not exactly sure how this works, since the chimney is built during the shell construction of the house and the lower part of the chimney would later have to be removed again to install the fireplace there?

Maybe someone can clarify this for me.

Thank you very much
Sebastian

There are complete solutions available from various suppliers where the combustion chamber is integrated directly into the chimney. In this case, the draft is pre-installed and only needs to be lifted into the building.

However, all of this comes at a cost.

Ok, I understand. How do you think the example I showed was most likely done? The link was removed (sorry for that), so I’m uploading the image directly here (that’s allowed, right?).
Do you or anyone else know of an example of a chimney that was built directly into the flue?

Thanks a lot.

Hmm, looking at the fireplace in the picture, I assume the flue gases are directed into a chimney behind it. Otherwise, I wouldn’t know where the condensate drain, cleaning access, etc., would be installed.
The best option is to consult a stove fitter and get professional advice.

P.S.: Are you sure you want to clean those glass panels?

It's a pity there is no longer a picture included!

What’s with the nonsense about the images? It’s perfectly fine to credit the source of the image. If the photographer didn’t want it to be shown, they wouldn’t have uploaded it online in the first place.

P.S. Or is the photo coming directly from the photographer and has never been online?
