Construction of a refractory concrete fireplace

In a new apartment, I was invited to see a fireplace fire resistant concrete, what I realized is that he had constructed a simple concrete and painted with fireproof paint, and the inner tube was a thin sheet metal without insulation joint and single bubble of plasterboard. because he was sure that the fireplace would have a serious problem, we decided it does not get repaired but must be reconstructed. Fortunately we decided to rip it found that the front part was adding 10cm, and at the outbreak had not insulated despite being behind a concrete pillar and prohibits heat.

By the end depose placed in special wall insulation plate ceramic board 1000 degrees C resistance and construction of concrete by fireproof cement and crushed firebrick (chamotte), built tube construction with thermal insulation of the stainless steel chimney and double bubble of fire-resistant gypsum board, end filling with fireproof material to give a bronze image.
