We are currently building a house and right now it's all about planning the layout and all the details...
We will have a wood-burning stove (like everyone else) in our house, and we are considering where to place it. We will have a living room/kitchen/dining area with a relatively open floor plan. There will also be a vaulted ceiling open up to the ridge. In the ridge, there will be a glulam beam.
In this large room, we will have tall window sections, with a wall area in between that is perfectly suited for the placement of the wood-burning stove (right at the ridge). The problem is whether we should place the stove a meter off-center so that the chimney can go STRAIGHT up through the roof. Or, should we place the stove in the center and angle the chimney in some way instead? It seems that placing the stove off-center would be asymmetrical and would look really odd. But placing the stove in the center would result in an angled chimney. I'm not sure what would be best? What are the angles available for chimneys?
Spontaneously, it feels like I would have centered it and taken an angle on the chimney high up (so it's not so conspicuous).
This assumes it's a stove where you can see the fire from all angles so that you have the coziness factor with you whether you're sitting at the dining table or on the sofa, otherwise it can be placed in the outer corner, for example.
Edit: You can also have it against the wall with the TV, then it would probably be offset in relation to the glulam beam to be able to have a straight chimney.
Hi
We are in exactly the same situation today. How did you do it? Do you have any pictures? I find it hard to imagine how it looks with an angled chimney on one side only...
Very grateful for a response!
The issue for us is that we need to have windows up to the ridge that should follow the same line as the outer roof. It is possible to have the stove come out in the middle of the ridge, but then the windows look completely crazy. So we hope you have come up with an elegant solution we can emulate we would also prefer to have it between the windows.
We made a really neat solution, we didn't install a fireplace at all! 👍🏻😄
We just made preparations for it... we simply prioritized other things with that money.
