[0004] The report description FR2688871 offers a fireplace consisting of at least three prefabricated metal blocks which are separated from each other and connected with each other in order to put the fireplace together.

[0005] The purpose of the utility mode is to ensure the fireplace housing improving energy saving of the fireplace system, which is simultaneously easy to assemble and dismantle.

[0006] According to the utility model, the fireplace housing containing the segments which constitute separate spatial forms is characterised by the fact that it consists of at least five separate segments with side walls and the upper wall in case of the segment constituting the closing of the housing, in which the inner layer of the walls is made of accumulation material, and the outer wall of dekton, where the layers are connected to each other with glue, where in the inner layer at the top edges of the side walls of at least one lower segment constituting the carrying plate for the fireplace insert and the housing under the insert, there is a cavity or a lug, where in the inner layer at the lower edges and the upper ones of the side walls of the next segments: at least two segments around the facade of the fireplace insert and at least one of the segments constituting the hood, there are cavities or lugs cooperating respectively with the cavities and lugs made in the inner layer at the lower and upper edges of the side walls of the segments affixed underneath or above, and in the inner layer at the lower edges of the side walls of the upper segment constituting the closing of the casing there is a cavity or lug cooperating with the cavity or lug in the inner layer at the upper edges of the side walls of the segment constituting the hood, whereas the shape of at least two segments around the facade of the fireplace insert reminds the channel bar, and are mounted in pairs creating an opening for the fireplace door, in the segment constituting the hood or in the segment constituting the closing of the housing there is an opening for the exhaust pipe,and in the segment constituting the closing of the housing there is a convection air outlet opening.

[0007] In the alternative design, the shape of the lower segment reminds the channel bar where in the inner layer at the side edges of the side walls of this segment there are cavities and lugs.
