Rest and work in the country will be much more comfortable if the house is equipped with heating and cooker. But hurriedly choose the stove can not be - it must meet a number of criteria. There are various cottages oven, so a series of restrictions does not hurt to break his head over the choices.
It will be interesting: what oven choose to give?
Criteria stoving to give
For many dacha - a place, implying the desire for savings. Not always, but often these buildings are trying to equip the budget. Apart from this obvious criterion furnace selection, there are many others. Some of them are less obvious, others are more hidden from superficial view. When choosing a model and design, you need to pay attention to the following points:
- security; villas typically not very large in size, so the heating furnace is not worth very much alone; on this basis, it is necessary that the unit was as safe as possible; danger of fire is not only, but also carbon monoxide gases - itself oven and fume collection channels must be leakproof;
- small size; Again, small dachas dictates the need to save space;
- strength, moisture- and frost; in contrast to the country houses, cottages are usually empty in the winter; structure must resist the adverse effects of environmental factors, or after a long absence can be encountered with oven damp;
- rapid heating; very unpleasant to get to the cottage and wait a few hours until the room warmed up to a comfortable temperature;
- prolonged heat; this aspect is no less important than the previous one - those who do not come for one day, I want to wake up in a warm room;
- the presence of the hob; If the country is not a gas or electric stove, rescue heater; but only if there is a corresponding component;
- possibility to heat water for a shower; I want to not only warm up and eat, but also to wash - if you build the register of water impossible, holiday vacation will be a lot less comfortable.
Appearance is important, but for a certain category of truckers did not play a significant role. However, aesthetics defines a lot for the other categories of people. So you need to take care of the decorative component of the stove for a small country house.
If you do a metal structure with his own hands, will likely have to temper the aesthetic appetites. But the factory options allow not to limit the imagination - there are a lot of very beautiful models.
Tip! Many models are equipped with transparent factory firebox door. It makes sense to choose a design with a door a little more. This is an opportunity to turn an ordinary heater at this cottage fireplace.
Types of holiday furnaces
Each method has advantages and disadvantages. Consider the features of the different designs.
cast iron stoves
Very good, though not cheap solution. Stoves of cast iron can not boast a single denomination. For example:
- "Indifference" to the off-season; even prolonged downtime do not respond to problems - not material burns and is not oxidized;
- Wood oven iron suburban characterized excellent heat emission - and long structure gives good heat room;
- iron rusts - even wet room does not lead to corrosion of the material;
- manufacturers love this version - on sale you can find very different models; no matter what the taste of the consumer - it is sure to find a model "for themselves"; cast iron products are available in various performance-marker - and small, and the bulk will have a summer residence oven according to their size;
- most of the cast-iron models distinguished by the presence overall hob; thanks to the owner of the design can be administered simultaneously with two or three elements of kitchen utensils.
Without the drawbacks anywhere. Among the shortcomings:
- massiveness; furnace iron heavy and require strong base; if the country low-strength wooden floor, the device will need a brick or concrete foundation / pedestal; in this case the base should have a considerable area - it is usually beyond the perimeter of the unit up to half a meter; More necessary foundation and because of fire safety - typical for iron heated to very high temperature;
- stationary; for the same reason - heaviness - a design very difficult to move; so the light Relocation - in the yard and back - have to forget;
- the complexity of the "upgrade"; Cast iron is extremely reluctant to give in processing; so you need to immediately select a model with the desired options - then add the same register of water supply will be very difficult;
- vulnerability to sudden temperature changes; is not very advisable, for example, red-hot plate pour over cold water - the likelihood is high that the furnace will crack;
- high cost; having a series of advantages and being difficult to manufacture, this type can not be cheaper; however, in view of the durability of this solution, it is unlikely that the item should be considered seriously.
steel furnace
Perhaps this is the best option. Like it or not, to judge individual customer based on a set of pros and cons of steel.
Advantages:
- availability; factory models are relatively inexpensive, and homemade options and cost of cheaper;
- the possibility of self-production; if there is something which skills and a tool steel unit it is possible to make your own hands;
- ease; This furnace for mobile heating garden - design is relatively easy to move; Just disconnect the chimney, and the weight is not a big problem; for this reason steel construction machinery does not require a solid foundation - enough mounting metal sheet or asbestos gaskets;
- fast and high quality heating hob; the surface is rapidly heated to a suitable temperature and, more importantly, long cools;
- an abundance of factory models, equipped with brass cameras.
Those who dare to install a steel unit, will be faced with disadvantages:
- smaller than in the other cases, the service life; although in the context of the use of country it is not such a disadvantage; since heating times are interleaved with idle, the material layer covered with an impressive flame resistant varnish; this layer - the cause of improving the life of furnaces for country houses up to 15-20 years or more;
- impossibility to use in summer conditions structures designed for liquid fuel waste; the latter is not only a fire hazard, but also characterized by harmfulness and not the most pleasant smell.
In addition, many steel models that are successfully used in other contexts, are not suitable for cottages. Reason - fails the criteria described above. Many variants of the steel tend to be cumbersome, time-consuming heating, not very attractive design, the absence of the hob.
But one of those options that still meet the criteria, it is easy to choose a model according to individual performance.
brick furnace
Heating structure of brick house in a holiday no less pertinent than residential. Provided that the stove will not take up too much space.
Advantages of the "bricks":
- high heat capacity; this design will give off heat for a long time - more than any other;
- reliability and durability; being folded according to the rules, the oven will not fail and will last a very long time;
- fire safety; the heat source is reliably hidden in the depth of the design and competent execution ensures tightness;
- multifunctionality; if the cottage is not deprived area, built in the owners can afford a traditional Russian stove bench model - it will add comfort and convenience;
- ability to fully heat several rooms without the need for installation of the heating circuit.
Disadvantages:
- "Dislike" to the mid-season downtime - vulnerable to dampness; if the room is not heated for a long time, the operation of the furnace is necessary to begin with a couple of "warm-up" protopok low load;
- the need for a strong foundation that is separated from the bottom wall; brick oven country house too massive, so the device is strong overall fundamentals required;
- "Voracity" in terms of space; generally such designs involve the need for considerable space; although vertically oriented options - for small buildings.
On a note! Keep in mind that heating brick construction under a fire hazard than others. Therefore, the room can be more compact arrangement of objects. This partially compensates Overall furnaces.
Variations brick kilns
Some vacationers faithful to the traditions and prefer only oven made of brick. There are 3 main types of the latter.
Russian. Often done in the format of the model with stove bench. Characterized by the ability to heat a large area. This contributes to high efficiency and bulkiness - "classic" assumes dimensions least 1500h2000 mm. This option is best suitable for those who seek to comply with national traditions.
Swedish. The width of such a design is usually low, although the construction is not deprived length. As Russian is used in heating and cooking purposes. Universal - budgetary and practical - solution.
Dutch. It is cost-effective and compact - great for a small house. But the "Dutch" is usually designed only for heating - the food on her not to cook. Although it is possible to construct and versatile design.
But the smoke ducts system thought out very well - with the stove on the problem of unburned gases can not particularly think. Despite modest dimensions, the structure is capable to heat a room area of 40-60 m2. Cottagers, ready to bring food with them, it is worth considering about this variation - it saves both space and money.
With respect to efficiency win the last two options. Masonry oven is better to order a professional, but if you want to build it can be their own. there is information on our website about how to do this.
conclusion
The abundance of options for even the gardeners are not particularly limited in the selection of furnaces. In order to make a rational decision about what kind of oven choose, you need to analyze their needs and capabilities. And the data for making the right decision given above.
