It seems that the design of the furnace is simple. In fact, any of them consists of several elements, each of which plays a role. That is, everything is important in the furnace - from the quality of materials (used mortar, brick, stove accessories) to its location in the room. And almost the main ones from the point of view of operational safety are the doors for furnaces. What are they like?
Different forms, one goal
Fire doors today are presented in a wide variety: these are classic options in the form of iron casting, and artistic casting, and stylish designs decorated with refractory glass, and so on. But no matter which oven door you choose, it is important to remember that this element is most exposed to heat. Therefore, this factor is very important to consider before installing the door into the furnace. In general, the door is fastened according to the general principles:
- a thermal gap should be left between the case and the brick - it is filled with a soft material that is non-combustible, for example, basalt wool or asbestos;
- the type of door fastening for stoves depends on the design of the product, while it is important that the brick floor is held independently, and not be connected with the door frame.
What materials?
The choice of material is a very responsible process, since the competent and safe operation of the entire furnace depends on its quality and reliability. As a rule, today you can purchase doors for stoves made of furnace cast iron, metal or heat-resistant glass. If the oven is in a room where young children are, you should install a special heat shield on the oven door, which will protect the surface from heating.
If you want to constantly see the burning of fire, it is better to choose cast-iron doors for stoves with glass - such a solution will allow you to create an atmosphere of warmth and comfort in the house.
Companies from Germany and Austria are considered the modern leaders in the production of furnaces and accessories for them. When choosing a design for your home, pay attention to various little things. For example, products with double oven doors are safer because the internal doors have a grate: it prevents the embers and sparks from falling onto the floor. An external door of this design has an opening - it regulates the air flow necessary for burning fuel. This design is good where firewood is used as fuel.
If the furnace is coal-fired or mixed fuel is used, the width of the opening on the door can be adjusted to control the flow of air needed for combustion.
Doors for the furnace: price
The cost of accessories for stoves and fireplaces depends on what materials they are made of, as well as on which part of the furnace doors are bought. For example, a cleaning or blowing door are quite inexpensive - 300-500 rubles. Cast-iron doors with imitation under glass will cost about 1,500 rubles, and more aesthetic doors with maximum sealing will cost 3,000 rubles per product and more expensive. The main thing when choosing is to make the most correct calculations so that the door fits under the opening.
