How to choose a tiled stove

When we think of a tiled stove, such associations as heat come to mind., coziness. atmosphere of a living room, crackling wood or open fire. Who then thinks about the technique behind it. And yet the economic problems, ecological and related to the way of heat transfer to the room play an increasingly important role today. Depending on the type of tiled stove, there are some differences here. There is no doubt about the fact that, that we want to build a tiled stove corresponding to the level of today's technological development, which, thanks to good combustion, will emit much less harmful substances in the exhaust gases. Based on technical data and product descriptions, we can compare cartridges for convection tiled stoves well, Combined, heating fireplaces and chimney stoves. Just pay attention to the fact that the registration number according to DIN is given. We can then be relatively sure, that the technical data correspond to the actual state. For foundation furnaces of this type of data can not be obtained. These furnaces are made of fireclay fittings without a metal insert. Therefore, depending on the appearance, the size of the furnace and the possibilities of chimney draught change their interior (core). Correct calculation of the foundation furnace (with proper shaping of the combustion chamber and all smoke ducts) are, if you want to do everything correctly, very extensive. Performing such calculations should be commissioned to a specialist. There are manufacturers of chimney stoves, who offer tailored to the customer's chimney, calculated cores of foundation furnaces and attach to them construction instructions for self-construction. However, also in this case, we can make our creative vision of our own tiled stove a reality to a wide extent.. In such core construction kits, chamotte elements already have the correct shapes. Allows, that we do not have to trim them we can save ourselves a lot of work and time. At the same time, these companies, also in the case of self-installation of a tiled stove by us, they take on the guarantee of its operation.

With the help of computer simulation, these companies can present us with the course of combustion and heating phases of our furnace. When building the core of the foundation furnace, the highest level of quality must be ensured. Burnt fireclay fittings mean for such a furnace always the need to demolish and after replacing damaged elements, putting it back up again. As practice shows, very high durability is characterized by small chamotte fittings with high quality of workmanship. Also good and clean combustion is a very important factor for the durability of fireclay elements.
Each type of tiled stove gives heat to the living room in a different way. In doing so, certain characteristics are created, that we should take into account when choosing. Let's consider. what advantages are very important to us and what disadvantages we can come to terms with. Let's not make decisions too hastily. A good tiled stove will serve us with proper operation throughout life. This, whether the stove is lined with tiles, whether plastered has practically no significance for its heating power. You should simply decide on something taking into account your own taste. In principle, any type of tiled stove can be eavesdropped or plastered (health assessment of individual types of heating)
