Since 2006, the company Svarozhich has been manufacturing and selling cast-iron sauna stoves, portals and natural stone products. The manufacturer successfully cooperates with leading manufacturers of bath stoves, adopting their experience and improving their own.
Production
Casting of cast iron parts for Svarozhich furnaces is carried out at a large enterprise in the Republic of Belarus, equipped with modern German equipment. In foundry, only gray cast iron of grade 15-25 is used. A multi-stage quality control system implemented at the plant ensures careful selection and testing of materials. Before shipment to the consumer, the products go through quality control.
The lining of the Svarozhich bath furnace is made of natural material - a coil, talc-quartzite, talc magnesite, talc-chlorite and serpentinite - on special stone-cutting machines according to the manufacturer’s own patent. Mining of stone for cladding is carried out in the quarries of Karelia and the Urals. High heat capacity of structures is achieved due to the coating thickness of 40-50 millimeters.
Representatives of the company assist clients in choosing a furnace for the Svarozhich bathhouse in accordance with the parameters of the room. The list of services includes design and installation of a safe and reliable chimney, installation of thermal protective and finishing materials in a double room.
Since the beginning of its activity, the company "Svarozhich" has sold more than 4 thousand stoves and 2.5 thousand sets of chimney.
Why choose oven brand "Svarozhich"
Cast iron stoves "Firebird" and "Slavyanka" operate in the Russian bath mode and withstand critical temperature loads. The formation of finely dispersed steam without overheating of the room is possible due to the heating of a cast-iron stove to 600 o C. It is worth mentioning the durability of the products. The strength potential of cast iron sauna stoves "Svarozhich" is huge due to the use of modern, reliable and environmentally friendly materials in the production. A 3-year guarantee is given on designs from the Slavyanka line, and a 5-year guarantee on the Firebird series.
Advantages of furnaces
Cast iron designs are currently gaining more popularity and are considered the best. Let's see why there is such an opinion. Here are the main characteristics of the furnaces:
- Unique cast-iron stove, which is heated from six sides.
- Cladding design for controlling air convection.
- High efficiency due to the secondary gas afterburning function.
- Russian production of furnaces "Svarozhich".
- Cast iron models combine all the advantages of brick counterparts.
- Long operational term - more than ten years.
- Maintainability and availability of spare parts.
The lineup
The company "Svarozhich" produces two lines of the same name cast-iron stoves: for steam rooms with a volume of 8-18 cubic meters - "Slavyanka", for bath structures 15-35 cubic meters - "Firebird". Each series is offered in four versions:
- Economy Only the central part of the furnace is supplied - the furnace. The option is ideal for those who prefer to lay out the structure on their own from brick or other materials.
- Standard. A firebox made of cast iron is covered by a stainless steel casing. An option for sauna lovers, because the steam room is heated by infrared radiation from the metal.
- Classic. For cladding a cast iron firebox, a natural stone 40 mm thick is used - a coil, talchochlorite, or a combination thereof. Infrared radiation is shielded by the cladding, which is pleasant both visually and tactilely. A model for those who prefer a dry air bath.
- Suite The internal part of the structure, consisting of cast iron, is lined with natural stone - a coil, talchochlorite or a combination thereof - 40 or 50 millimeters thick. Unlike the standard version, in the execution of luxury furnaces ("Svarozhich"), the furnace is completely lined with natural material, forming a closed heater. A model for creating a classic Russian bath.
The main characteristics of "Slav" and "Firebird"
As already mentioned, the company Svarozhich produces two lines of cast-iron stoves - Slavyanka and Firebird. Both are offered in cladding or without it, for self-creation of a brick screen. Four types of natural stone are used for coatings - talchochlorite, talc magnesite, talc quartzite, and coil. The thickness of the plates varies from 40 to 50 millimeters. The stone has a high heat capacity, which eliminates the need for a brick screen.
Furnace design details
Models of Svarozhich furnaces The Firebird and Slavyanka are equipped with two types of doors:
- Standard cast iron. Inexpensive door with glass insert. It closes and presses against the bolt portal. Insufficient tightness of such a lock leads to the fact that air leaks continue even with the sash closed.
- Door with large glass. The fireplace door provides tight temperature control. Large panoramic glass guarantees the necessary tightness.
Svarozhich proposed by the company bath stoves can be equipped with two doors. A design feature is the movable blinds, which allow you to control convection and burning intensity.
Models of cast-iron stoves "Firebird"
Each individual model has its own distinctive characteristics that should be considered when choosing a purchase:
- Economy Model for self-construction of a brick screen.
- Stone. The furnace is equipped with a special grid filled with material for glow.
- Suite Furnace with closed top heater and adjustable convection.
- Classic. The heater is open at the top, convection is unregulated.
- Russian steam. The heater is closed at the top, convection is adjustable.
Consumers leave the most reviews on the Svarozhich furnace of the Russian Steam, Lux and Combi versions. Consider them in detail:
- Russian steam. The stove is cast-iron, it is closed from above by a box made of stainless heat-resistant steel, with a sheet thickness of 2 millimeters. This part has only two openings, as a result of which the stones are not cooled by convection. The degree of heating of the heater does not affect the movement of air inside the furnace. A steam gun designed to supply steam is available as an additional option.
- Suite The top of the furnace is beveled back due to the higher front face wall, while this part is also the heater cover. It opens up, which provides convenient access and facilitates the pouring of water. The stove is cast-iron, heats up on five sides, which contributes to uniform heating.
- Combi It differs only in cladding made of two types of bath natural stone.
Models of cast-iron furnaces "Slavyanka"
A number of Slavyanka models have various designs for both self-lining with building material and finished products.
- Economy For own brick facing of the furnace.
- Stone. It is covered with a grid for filling material for glow.
- Suite Model with a closed top heater and adjustable convection.
- Classic. The heater is open from above, without the ability to adjust convection.
- Russian steam. The heater is closed at the top, convection is adjustable.
Furnaces "Slav Elite"
The model line of this type of Svarozhich furnace has a design with a width of not more than 500 millimeters elongated upwards. Despite the fact that the furnace portal is cast iron, the weight of such equipment is slightly lower. Unlike the Firebird series, the wall thickness of the firebox is only 6 millimeters, and the stone container is made of stainless steel, which allowed to reduce weight. Uniform heating of the fuel is carried out due to the lower part of the heater made of cast iron. Its wall thickness is 3 millimeters, which is enough to withstand the mass of stones and heat load.
Features of Svarozhich furnaces
Let's pay attention to the practical aspects of the products:
- Convenience of transportation and installation of Svarozhich furnaces thanks to the prefabricated design.
- A special tunnel allows you to heat the furnace from the dressing room or steam room.
- A window for loading stones can be installed both on the left and on the right when installing the heater.
- The cast iron firebox has a wall thickness of 9 millimeters.
- The lining of the furnace is made of several types of material: natural stone, chamotte brick and brushed stainless steel.
- The heater is made of sheet metal with a thickness of 4 millimeters or stainless steel with a thickness of 3 millimeters. Innovative production technologies make it possible to perform complex bends of such a material without welding seams. The laser cutting system guarantees tightness and high quality joints.
- The stone container for the Svarozhich stoves is located under a cast-iron firebox, which maintains the temperature for a long time. The material for the glow is placed on the upper platform of the furnace.
All furnaces offered by the Svarozhich company are equipped with an external firebox, so they can be installed in adjacent rooms. Firewood up to 40 centimeters long is loaded into the combustion chamber. The weight of the furnace without raw materials for fuel, stones and cladding is 270 kilograms. In view of this, the installation of a separate foundation is required for its installation.
Svarozhich Lux furnaces are equipped with a wide door, which maintains the temperature after the end of the furnace, but slows down the heating of the steam room.
The principle of operation of the furnace in stone cladding
The initial heating of the steam room is carried out by convection air flow. The furnace is completely covered by the lining except for its lower part, where there is a small gap through which air enters. An outlet is provided in the upper compartment. In the models of the luxury series, it is the door of the heater, in the version "Russian steam" - convection holes equipped with a plug. The air passing between the hot convection fins is dried and warmed up to a maximum temperature, after which it rises and exits through the open door. The cooled steam descends to the floor and is again sucked in by the furnace. This mode of operation of the furnace is called air convection.
The steam room warms up quickly due to the constant flow of dry and hot air. In constant convection mode, the steam room humidity will be zero, and the temperature will rise to 100-120 degrees. Thanks to this, it is possible to achieve the conditions of a dry-air Finnish sauna. You can stop the convection of steam by closing special openings or doors to prevent overheating and excessive drying of the room. The closed heater warms up to maximum temperature and heats the stones, soft heat is radiated by the lining.
“Steam cake” under the ceiling with a temperature of 120-150 degrees is obtained by supplying water to a cast-iron firebox and hot stones. This comfortable mode corresponds to a Russian bath, which maintains a temperature of 60 degrees and comfortable humidity.
Reviews
Consumers who installed Slavyanka furnaces from the Svarozhich company, in their reviews, said that the steam room was quickly heated up to 15 cubic meters at an ambient temperature of +6 degrees. With the top of the screen open, the room is too hot. Comfortable 60 degrees are achieved with half blocked or placed stones. The only drawback noted in the reviews is the loose fit of the door, which retains traction even with the shutters closed. It is impossible to eliminate this nuance by adjusting the chimney flap in the chimney, since the chad penetrates into the room.
Operational Features
The service life of a cast iron stove for a bath directly depends on the proper care of it. Installation of the equipment should only be carried out in a dry room at a great distance from moisture sources in order to avoid corrosion.
The protective coating of the furnace requires proper care. Damages that appear on the surface are immediately repaired, otherwise the equipment ceases to function.
As fuel for cast iron stoves "Svarozhich" can be used pellets, firewood, peat briquettes. A model with a special combustion chamber is purchased if the latest types of raw materials are used, which supports the operation of the product over a long period of time.
It is forbidden to put large logs into the combustion chamber: the door should be easy to close, and there should be free space between the fuel and the wall. The life of the furnace and the temperature in the steam room depend on the observance of these criteria.
The size of the logs is taken into account when developing the design of the furnace. The combustion chamber should not be too small, otherwise there is a need to prepare small firewood, which is very inconvenient.
Furnace cleaning
Cleaning cast-iron stoves for baths is carried out using special equipment that allows you to bring the structure into proper shape from the inside and remove ash. Proper care ensures the extension of the life of the furnace. If a large amount of dirt and debris accumulates, equipment damage may occur.
When choosing a furnace for a bath, it is advisable to contact specialists for help in the selection and installation. Professionals help you choose a model, installation location and provide complete information about the features of operation and the nuances of care. The company "Svarozhich" provides appropriate services to its customers.
