Typically, most owners steam rooms selected as the bathing furnace factory cast iron or steel articles. Individual owners use the oven of own production. But in any case, eventually conclusion suggests itself: need something to protect the heating structure on the total space of the steam room.
How to impose a brick oven in the bath to after these not only does it look nice, but also to improve the thermal performance of the heater?
For what purpose obkladyvayut bannuyu oven
People who are properly versed in the "bath" questions are sure that in order to create the "right" bannuyu iron stove, it should impose its quality bricks. Such a heater is characterized by applying gentle heat, light steam, while remaining a long time hot.
Some believe that a significant disadvantage for lining a metal bath furnace brick It is too long a period of time which is necessary to obtain the desired temperature in steam room. Plus, to build a brick structure that requires considerable amount of money on materials. It is provided that the clutch will perform with his own hands.
Given these circumstances, many prefer the metal bath furnaces without lining them with bricks. Although, with time, it becomes apparent that such furnace units have a number of disadvantages, which are absent in the brick counterparts:
- rapid heating, but also rapid cooling;
- of hot metal walls radiated a tough heat, which causes some discomfort at being in a steam room visitors.
So how did impose a furnace in the bath, that was cheap, beautiful and not affected the quality of the construction of functioning?
Craftsmen found a universal solution: to protect against infrared radiation and to accumulate heat necessary between the metal structure and the space to install some steam barrier in the form of a brick partitions. Therefore, the optimal solution has been found: it is necessary to impose a brick bath unit. Such variant - a relatively cheap and effective.
How to use a brick
Before proceeding to the main job, you have to decide on the material. The levy furnace in the bath, what materials are used for this purpose?
Often such structures erected of brick, available in the household. And that's OK, because everyone wants to spend a minimum of funds with maximum efficiency. Therefore, there will always be a home bricks (lime, red ceramic - corpulent and hollow manufactures fireclay), or their pieces.
If you start with a silicate, it should be noted that such a brick - perfect for facing the house, outbuildings. He brings great influence precipitation, and therefore - is durable. But to carry out work on the plate of the bath of metal furnaces it is not suitable. The fact is that in the bath under a brick for a long time will not stand and begin to break down, because its main ingredient is slaked lime, which absorbs moisture well.
A good option for creating thermal partitions - fireclay (refractory) kind of bricks. It easily withstands harsh temperature changes, has high heat capacity. However, the appearance of wanted to be the best. But this is - not a problem as oblitsevat furnace after lining can also granite and other materials.
Tip! Obkladyvat bannuyu furnace refractory bricks advisable in those cases when you have it more than sufficient. And buy it for that purpose specifically - is very expensive. Therefore, it is necessary to think about using it in another, more proper place home construction.
The refractory bricks are used in cases where the masonry and between the metal surface a short distance - from 1 to 2 cm. Thus, brick 350-400⁰S warmed up to temperature.
When the gap is in the range of 6-9 cm, the heating will drop to 180-200⁰S that caused a sharp increase in the air velocity in the gap between the oven and the baffle.
An excellent choice for lining the furnace in the bath - red bricks. It is desirable to full-bodied, but also suitable hollow. But it is better to choose, if possible, the first option, since the hollow - a small heat capacity and the heat will be stored not for long.
It should be noted that for the electrode of bath furnace brick used as a standard size stones and their thickened this. Usually put in a half-brick wall, although practiced in the quarter. But in this case it is necessary to further strengthen the wall that complicates things a bit.
Construction of foundation
Now on the Internet you can find a lot of drawings, photos, construction schemes under the foundation plate of the furnace in brick bath. What is this building?
The foundation is designed as a quadrangular well, the height of which is equal to the height of the furnace. To close the metal walls using a continuous or masonry with windows, through which not only bombarded fuel, but also enhanced ventilation around the heating surface.
According to specialists, the wooden beams for the floor can withstand up to 650-700 kg load. Although in practice, it is not recommended to give a load of more than 400 kg per 1 m. Therefore, it is desirable to further strengthen the existing frame structure of an angle iron (50 mm) screw piles or nature, provided that the screen goes around 180-200 bricks weighing 3.5 kg.
Important! Laying the foundation of a classic ribbon takes a lot of effort, time, but at 100% design is stable and fireproof.
Algorithm of laying the foundation
- Cut in half (if it is already installed) of a certain size square, dig a pit depth of about 35-45 cm.
- Cover bottom gravel coarse fraction, put waterproofing set formwork.
- Place in a frame of foundation reinforcement pieces, apply a necessary amount of mastic waterproofing, pour concrete structure approximately 15-20 cm above the ground.
- Print the usual brick "pillow" on the level of the floor on which the stove and lining will be placed.
- Wait about 3 weeks ex until the concrete will shrink, and then to lay the thermal insulation, the steel sheet (thickness 3.5 mm) under the furnace.
Preparing the solution
To qualitatively to impose an iron stove in the bath is best to use the classic clay-sand mortar. It is possible to add a small amount (approximately one sixth part) 400 of cement. This ingredient can only reinforce the whole construction, since the temperature of the next screen is not sufficiently high.
Important! Do not use cement mortar, tile and other types of solutions. Optimal, proven over centuries, option - clay solution.
Since it takes a bit of clay, it is best to buy it in a store building materials. For the villagers of this problem, as the acquisition of clay, should not exist.
To prepare the solution, it is necessary to take the sifted sand mixed with clay in equal proportions. Add water gradually to make a thick mixture, which could easily slide off of a trowel.
Any other materials used for the electrode of the furnace in the bath
It turns out that not only can obkladyvat brick stoves. Remarkable are the substitute granite or marble slabs. They are also well tolerated by temperature gradients have a large mass and high thermal conductivity. In addition, this decoration will give bannomu room is unusually beautiful and unique appearance. Afford such a luxury not everyone can, from a financial point of view. But if you kept some remnants, it is possible to use them for the construction of the furnace walls.
However, with the installation of these plates a bit more complicated in comparison with the brickwork. To ensure the beauty of a lined with the stove, it is necessary that the work carried out by experts. At the very least, you need to master at least consult with a man.
Also, the heat shield arrangement for use mineritovye plate. With their help, wall mounted considerably simpler and faster, even in comparison with a clutch, and is capable of withstanding 360-400⁰S temperature. But the specific heat of the material - is low, so it can be used as a good partitioning, which will not be able to accumulate heat.
A few tips
To brick lining was correct and served for more than a year, you should use these recommendations:
- laying the usual way ligation with a half-brick;
- can not be linked structure with walls bath;
- withstand seam thickness of 5 mm;
- leave a gap of 3-5 cm between the metal walls of the oven and the screen;
- in the lower ranks is necessary to make openings through which a free sign up to the cold air. Accordingly, in the upper - same openings for hot exit. And the bottom and put down should be no more than 2-3-ex openings, or a wall, as a heat shield, not bude to fulfill their immediate function;
- After laying each row should be checked levels: vertically and horizontally must be respected everywhere;
- carefully remove the remnants of the solution both from the inside and from the outside.
Important! In the presence of a convection oven housing, it must be removed before the electrode.
Methods for lining
In fact, stone facing is used to perform functions for teploekrana furnace. Due to the fact that such a design can not be the main thermal effects, it may be constructed in the form of:
- Solid lining, which is characterized by the rapid impact of heat, which causes a reduction in productivity of the furnace. In such embodiment, the trim is performed rarely, and most often for imparting metallic elements stove decorative nature. In this case, the heating quality - in the background.
- Heat shield, which will look like a small fence made of stone. This option - comfortable enough for others and promotes heat transfer.
- Cladding-convectors presence of air holes. This facility - the most optimal for the needs of the bath and is suitable for any metal structures, regardless of the size of the sauna.
Materials and tools
As before each operation, and before to impose a metal stove in the bath, you need to prepare materials and tools. For fast and high quality of work, you need to stock up on:
- fireclay or ceramic brick red solid centers;
- masonry mortar
- materials for the foundation (cement, gravel, sand);
- roofing material;
- boards for the construction of the formwork;
- reinforcing mesh.
- building level;
- shovel;
- building marker;
- measuring tape (tape);
- plummet;
- trowel;
- protractor.
You should also decide where best to place bannuyu oven. There are two versions: in a corner of the wall. The first option can save on materials, in particular on the brick.
In the case of establishment in the bath metal furnace from scratch, you must first build a foundation and make sure to securely protect hardwood floors. Fire safety - first and foremost.
The process of lining
Brick stacking technique for creating the heat shield is substantially the same as the construction of the brick furnace.
Important! The main thing - perfectly align the first row.
After that you should start laying the corners, not forgetting to dress the ranks of bricks.
No need to hurry, since it is recommended to do packing for 2-days. This is due to the fact that on the first day it is necessary to align the base and put all 5 series. And next, checking the pre-shrinkage lay out the remaining 8 rows.
Important! For better adhesion of the solution with a brick, every stone must be loaded on 12-15 minutes in salted water.
Do not forget about the control of the horizontal and vertical stacked in rows.
It would be as dressings angular bricks use steel wire or mesh. You can also strengthen a number of reinforcement or fiberglass. In the latter case, on the surface a number of times installation can be done with the aim of embedding 4-eh millimeter plastic. To reinforce fireclay bricks, it is best to use iron materials.
Electrode is best handled in the form of a well with the presence of 2-series of windows: the top and the middle of the structure. Ideally, when as a bridge to use half a brick placed at an angle to the wall. Through this structure, air in the gap begins to move better, which reduces the temperature inside the well, eliminating at the same time, excess steam within the heating air.
It is quite popular structure with the presence of finishing within the well using the bath stone. This variant does not allow the ingress of water spray from the rocks into the gap between the screen and the oven. Which is good, because the heated fireclay and, especially, red brick is easily destroyed by hot water.
The metal bath furnace obkladyvaetsya not just for beauty. As evidenced by the numerous reviews, thanks to this event significantly improved the atmosphere in the steam room. And this despite the fact that the brick lining each bath owner can do with your hands, if it is not possible to build a brick oven. Therefore, the work is done with minimal cost, quality, resulting in Bath It will be not only attractive, but also beneficial to health internal thermal environment. Good luck!
