How to brick an iron stove with your own hands

Metal furnaces are often installed in small private houses or houses where there is not enough room for massive brick structures of this type. Such a furnace has many positive qualities, but it is not capable of retaining heat for as long as a real brick. Therefore very often there is the question of how to brick an iron furnace with your own hands and thereby achieve greater heat transfer, but thus - not too increase its size.

Building materials and tools for furnishing the oven with bricks

It's not difficult to carry out this work yourself if you have the basic skills for brick laying and prepare all necessary tools and building materials in advance.

Tools

Tools and tools for work will need:

1. Trowel for applying a solution and collecting its surplus after installing the brick in place.

2. The hammer with a tin is needed to separate the desired part from the solid brick.

3. An embossing is necessary for an improvement of seams.

4. The cord is used to control the smoothness of laying horizontal rows and corners.

5. An order, which includes:

• a special rail, which maintains the evenness of the masonry throughout the height of the structure;
• holder, which fixes the rail;
• wedge raises defined element nt cl_ adki for the desired level .

6. The plumb line provides control over the verticality of the structure.

7. The level of the horizontal rows is verified by the building level.

8. The rule in given case, will serve as stand for the building level with the wall level for the masonry of the for the reference to the friend is the friend of to a friend.

9. A shovel is needed to mix the solution.

10. The capacity of for mixing the solution.

Building materials

The choice of materials should be approached with maximum responsibility, if you want the furnace to work effectively and without interruptions for a long enough period.

1. A brick for any furnace needs to be chosen of high quality with pronounced fireproof properties. It must be solid, that is, do not have voids in its structure. You can buy material that has a relief on the outside or an ideally smooth version. Sometimes the relief of a brick makes masonry a decorative ornament of any room.

The amount of bricks is calculated based on the size of the metal furnace and the additional area around the it , on which its is planned to expand. In addition, it is necessary to take into account the basis for the oven, which must consist of one or even two rows of continuous masonry.

If furnace will be overlaid on top, as well as a brick chimney, it is worthwhile to calculate these parameters.

It is also worth considering how best to put a brick - to install it on a narrow side( this will be more economical in terms of material consumption, but it will negatively affect the efficiency of the stove) or on the wide side.

If you produce calculation roughly, without accounting for joint thickness, the initial data will be the total surface area of ​​the planned masonry and the side area of ​​one brick. Further actions are simple - dividing the first value by the second and giving the required amount of material in pieces. With the exact calculation of the , the counts and the thickness of the horizontal and vertical joints. But we should not forget about the creation of a "reserve" in 5 - 10%.

2. For high-quality masonry, you can not do without the right solution, which will not crack when drying out and in the future, with a strong heating of the brick walls.

The easiest way is to use the ready-made fire-resistant building compounds for masonry furnaces sold in specialized shops in the form of dry mixes. They already have all the necessary components for high-quality performance and safety of the masonry in extreme temperature conditions. Prose with is significantly simplified - the main thing is to mix the solution from the finished mixture in the required consistency in accordance with the instructions attached to it.

You can do it in another way, by making a traditional clay-based solution.

However, it must be remembered that this is a rather complicated process, since clay must have a certain fat content, and the - mix has optimal proportions. To do this, you need to run tests, mixing and drying several different solutions, which are made up of different parts of clay and sand. Only after carrying out such an experiment and careful evaluation of the samples will be possible to make the right choice.

We can say that the compilation of such mixtures - is a whole art, the secrets of which are kept by oven masters. Such solutions are necessary for the laying of brick kilns, where smoke and gases emitted from the combustion of fuels pass through the channels, so the seams between the bricks must be exclusively reliable , and a good clay solution is able to provide tightness. But , in order for the to overlay a metal oven, it will be enough to use the finished dry mixture.

3. In addition to the of these basic materials, a sheet of heat-resistant and waterproofing material is required which is laid under the furnace base. As its well the ruberoid is suitable.

4. If a complete shutting down of the metal furnace is planned, including with the upper brick arch, metal profiles( corners or stripes) may be needed for the jumpers, which will be used for masonry.

Preparing for the laying of the

facing walls When installing a metal furnace, should be prepared in advance with rigid non-flammable base, so in most cases the platform for its brick is already ready. If the substrate does not meet the requirements and the cover is decided after for some time after is installed, then will have to dismantle the chimney so that on the on the preparation period, remove the metal furnace from the place where it is installed. This procedure ss pr is carried out to carefully prepare the area.

• If the floor is concrete and strong enough, the waterproofing material - roofing material is laid on the place of installation of the furnace and the future brickwork. The sheet of roofing material should be 100 ÷ 150 mm wider than the base area.

- When the base is ready, the metal furnace lining will run along its edges, so the size should be appropriate.

- The basis for the installation is laid out in one or two solid series and left to dry. The time for the complete hardening of the solution can be learned from the information on the packaging of the mixing mixture.

must always be laid as a basis. Once the has been laid, the will obtain the required strength, the oven is put in place and it can be immediately connected to the chimney.

- At the corners of the base, four bars are laid exactly vertically, along which it will be necessary to level out during the laying.

• . In the case when the floor is wooden and is a reliable , you can work the same way as on a concrete foundation, but it is better to remove some of the boards and make a solid foundation.

- When the boards are removed, a small foundation pit for the - is laid in the underground ground, its depth can be from 30 to 50 cm. This parameter will depend on the height of the walls erected from the bricks. It should be located in the place where the walls of the outer lining of the furnace are to be installed.

- The bottom of the excavation is strengthened by cushions of sand and gravel. Then, a formwork and a reinforcing cage are installed there.

- Further, is poured concrete( usually - in the proportion of sand and cement 3: 1) and left to complete setting.

- After the foundation is well seized, 120 ÷ 150 mm of soil is removed from the site inside it, t is poured into this place and the reinforcing mesh is packed.

- Then this area is poured with a concrete mortar, 50 ÷ 70 mm thick, leveled and left to set strength.

furnace. On this site, a brick foundation will be laid out. When using this technology, only one row of continuous masonry is sufficient. But the waterproofing material all equally on the site needs to be laid.

Such a foundation is necessary if the walls of the furnace are laid out to the ceiling, and the chimney will also be built of bricks. If the walls are built only on the height of the furnace, and the floor under it is enough is reliable , then the foundation is optional.

• When installing the platform for the installation of the furnace and the cladding walls, it must be taken into account that it must be around 60 - 80 mm larger than the future structure.

• It is necessary to leave a gap of 100 or even 120 mm - between the walls of the metal furnace and the laying, it will be a good air layer and will allow the furnace to be kept hot for a longer period of time.

With still should be taken into account before start of

laying. Turning to the brickwork of the iron furnace shell, it is necessary to take into account some of the nuances that the can facilitate the operation and provide an effective safe operation of the heater.

• Any oven installed in a wooden house or near a wall built of combustible material must be separated by heat-resistant insulation.

The insulation can be made from asbestos boards, insulator and other fireproof materials. It is better if such an insulating screen is made even in two layers, as shown in the photo.

In addition, the heater, as well as the flue pipe, must be at least 200 mm away from the wall.

• For 25 ÷ 30 minutes before the beginning of brick laying, it is recommended to lower it into cool water. This process ss pr is used to strengthen the brick and to ensure that its porous surface does not dry immediately put between blocks of the solution, pulling liquid out of it.

If the solution is to dry out the natural by , materials will be provided with good grip, and the masonry will be strong enough .

• It is very important to hold the laying orderly , without starting several rows at once - , this can disrupt the entire work order and it will turn out to be sloppy.
• Combining 2 - 3 rows, it is necessary to immediately "groove" the joints, while the solution remains wet and plastic. Carrying this process, you need to immediately remove the excess surplus masonry solution.

• Making the masonry in the "quarter of the brick", that is, with its installation on a narrow side, is somewhat more complicated than putting it in the "half-brick".If, nevertheless, such a variant was chosen for the purposes of economy, then during installation it is necessary to maintain a particularly careful constant control over the vertical and horizontal plane.

The process of lining the metal furnace with brick

• Between the vertically mounted bars, the height from floor to ceiling, stretches perfectly horizontal cord. In the process, the lifts masonry, move above and this landmark. On such a tight level, the beacon aligns the each row.
• The width of vertical joints between bricks is usually from 5 to 7 mm, horizontal from 8 to 10 mm.
• It is very important for ventilation, active heat input into the room by the generated convection currents in each of the series or through the the series to leave a small hole. Sometimes the masonry, which form an iron stove, is made "latticed" with numerous holes.

Thus, for example, lay a brick in the furnish of the sauna stoves to heat the room faster and, at the same time , for account thermal inertness of the bricks did not cool down the walls of the heater for a long time.

• The first row is laid out in the usual way, but it must be done perfectly, since the sets the direction to the entire wall.
• After laying and pressing the bricks of the first row, excess solution should be collected immediately. If the brick is set hard because of the excess solution, then it is pummeled with a rubber mallet.

• Lifting the masonry, and reaching the ashtray door, and then the furnace, it is very important to pay attention to the side of the window where the hinges are located. Laying each of the bricks next to the doors, you must always check how freely they open.

• The masonry is made to different levels of the oven. Sometimes its ends at the level of the plate or even a chimney is worn by it. However, in the latter case, the chimney metal pipe must be assembled into an -only solid construction and of the most resistant materials, since will no longer be after is received by the .

are mandatory. In the brickwork around the chimney, several ventilation holes are required.

• The masonry should be clean and tidy, therefore , having folded several rows, it is necessary to clean still not frozen solution, and its remains should be wiped off with a damp cloth.

After completion of the masonry, it must dry well, is desirable - natural way, without heating. In this case, the probability that the solution will crack on the seams is reduced.

bricks. Options for the lining of a metal furnace with brick

. In addition to lining the burger completely or up to the level of the slab, some choose other options by lining the with the part of the hull.

boiser is installed in the . In the this case, a small burner serves as a furnace for the brick part of the furnace, and the it with the rear wall neatly embedded in the brick building. Such oven can serve as a fireplace for a pleasant holdingevenings, warm the room, and on the arranged shelf you can warm up the kettle or, after returning from the rain, dry clothes and shoes.

cooking panel. This variant is suitable for the when it is necessary to have a wider hob. The bricks laid around by her , being heated, will serve as its sequel. The metal case is covered with brickwork from all directions, therefore about can not be burned accidentally. The heat from such a structure will last three to four times approximately from than from a "bare" stove, so it is worthwhile to allocate time and make the effort to transform the turbojet into a full-fledged heating plant.

Another one version nt pr The revitalization of a compact modern burger in an aesthetic fireplace, which, with its back, goes to another room where the is also covered with a brick. The heat output from this stove-fireplace increases several times, and it looks much more respectable. Here the stove looks like a fireplace fireplace, and the creates the visibility of the massive build of the account of the precisely neatly laid masonry around the metal stove.

To the attention of the owners of houses are offered ready-made construction kits-"constructors" made of natural or artificial stone, which allow not only to lay a metal stove, but also to build a fireplace portal, which will become a real decoration of the room.

kit. Depending on which part of the metal stove requires the to be laid with its brick, you can come up with other, own options. The main in operation of the - is to prevent errors in the design of the combustion waste disposal and to comply with all necessary safety measures.
