Talcochlorite or soap or pottery or furnace stone are synonyms of the same natural mineral that is formed in the bowels of the earth from talc and magnesite under the influence of high temperature and pressure. The process takes a long time. Probably, because soapstone is so beautiful. The color of the stone is blue-green, not requiring decoration. The totality of all these qualities greatly increased its value and made it noble.
Why are soapstone soap stoves so popular?
If the walls of the soapstone stove are poured with water, high-quality steam will be obtained, as the material perfectly absorbs moisture and evaporates it evenly throughout the plane, creating a unique finely divided vapor. Many other factors make the soapstone stoves very attractive for creating a soft heat in a bath with healing properties, which maximally approximates such a bath to traditional Russian. Today, to get this material is not difficult, just like buying a bath entirely. But why buy expensive Finnish baths of soapstone, if you can build yourself? It's not at all difficult!
WHY DOES THALCOHLORITE BE CONSIDERED WITH "WARM STONE"?
The material has two characteristics associated with heat. The first - high heat capacity, which is two and a half times higher than the heat capacity of the brick, the second - a constant coefficient of thermal expansion. High heat capacity does not allow the soapstone to crack when the temperature in the bath changes, and the constant coefficient - allows to warm up throughout the volume.

THANK YOUR TALLCOHLORITE FOR THE MANUFACTURER?
Thermal characteristics make the material simply unique and ideal for the production of ovens and fireplaces. Heating soapstone up to 1600 deg. Celsius, nothing will happen to him. The resulting soapstone stone will still give off gently and evenly for a long time. Talcochlorite is so pure and environmentally friendly that it makes it possible to make dishes. And yet it has high strength and durability, but at the same time it can easily be processed and grinded, and on the finished product.
WHAT IS THE UNIQUE PROPERTIES OF TALKHOHLORIT FOR OVEN PRODUCTION?
The use of a soapstone for the production of a sauna oven is fully justified by its unique properties. Scientists have discovered a very interesting fact about him. The thermal radiation of the material and the human body is at the same wavelength, which is 8-9 microns. It is because of this factor that the heat emitted by talcochlorite seems to us so soft and pleasant. Also, waves of this length in themselves have a beneficial effect on the human body, increasing immunity, regulating blood pressure, improving metabolism and the work of the respiratory system. The adoption of a bath in which a soapstone oven is located improves well-being and has a healing effect on people with arthritis. Compare the sensations from the heat of the oven from this unrivaled material with something in a person's life can only be sunbathing. Rapidly heated soapstone, this will take no more than an hour, save heat for a long time. And all this is due to the fact that the soapstone heats up 10 times faster and cools 2 times longer. In order to visualize everything and not be unfounded, we recommend the following experiment: take a small pebble from soapstone and dip it into boiling water for 5 minutes. After you take it out, the heat will be felt for an hour. Imagine how economical it is! It turns out that fuel for a soapstone kiln for a bath needs 2 times less. And this is an important advantage.
SIMPLE AND QUICK FACING THE OVEN!
It is not difficult to make a high-quality coating of a soapstone stove. It's done quickly, even if you do it yourself. But before that you need to learn the technology. It is:
- Inside the oven, the stones should be placed in a horizontal position. From such a masonry they will heat up more quickly, transferring the resulting heat to the outer walls.
- In contrast to the inner walls, the stones of the outer walls are arranged vertically. This will keep the heat inside the oven for as long as possible.
To ensure reliable adhesion of tiles from soapstone to the base, you need to apply a special glue, which a hundred years ago the Finns came up with. The glue is made of liquid glass with a soapstone powder. Accordingly, the mixture is thoroughly mixed. The glue is durable, long-lasting and does not harm the environment. When laying the tiles, each unit is fastened to the other with a special pin or staple. It is necessary that the tile does not fall off under its own weight. The masonry leaves for four hours to dry. As you can see, Finnish glue dries quickly. After all the done, the staples are removed, and the gaps that form between them are filled with a grout. The technology is not at all complicated, so go for it!
CONCLUSION
The article describes the material that one way or another was able to tell both about the properties of the material and about some technological aspects of stowage of the furnace. We hope that all this will be useful for you! P.S.The most interesting is in the end. The most interesting thing about the soapstone stove is that its surface can not burn our body!
