We furnish stoves for the sauna

Bath is a cult object in our life.And in the bathhouse the most important thing is the stove. It depends on it how quickly heats up and cool the heated steam room. If you decide to make wood-burning stoves for the bath with your own hands, then you should take into account that the case is quite complicated, requiring a certain qualification.

The furnace (its design) largely depends on the type andvarieties of the bath itself. But today we will talk specifically about the Russian steam room, which is the most common. Coming into it, a person gets rid of physical and emotional ills. We will not mention kilometer researches of venerable medical luminaries in the article, which have repeatedly proved the use of a bath and its role in maintaining human health.

For a Russian steam room we always usedstone, and later, brick stoves for wood. They slowly warm up, but they also do not hurry to cool down. However, with their own hands lay out a brick oven is very difficult. The fact is that for proper laying you should not only have special skills, but also use a special refractory brick. In addition, you should take care of the construction of a quality and maximum sustainable foundation. Waterproofing it must be done very, very carefully.

For this, the last of his series is laid outruberoid, other bricks are laid on it, after - the second layer of roofing material, only after this, proceeding to further laying. Put them should be as neat as possible, laying out the inner volume of the refractory brick, so that the wood-burning stove for the bath quickly does not come into disrepair.

It is a common misconception that for a bath you canuse a metal oven, but it's not. The metal instantly heats up, making the room unbearable. To avoid this, some overlap the walls with stones or with the same brick.

Unfortunately, this measure helps a little, and the heatit turns out to be "wet". To prevent this from happening, it is necessary to cover firewood stoves for a sauna only with a fire-resistant brick. It is necessary (!) To leave a gap between the bricks and metal, the thickness of which should be at least 15 cm. Please note that the thickness of the masonry should not exceed the thickness of the brick itself.

By the way, make a metal furnaceindependently much easier. In particular, there are many schemes available for implementation even to the inexperienced builder. Now we will consider how wood furnaces are made for a bath from a single large pipe.

The pipe is cut into two parts.The first (smaller) is used for the construction of a furnace, an ashtray and a grate. On the furnace itself, a qualitative thick grating of refractory metal should be found. It will hold a water tank made of a second piece of pipe. It should be noted that in the bottom of it make a hole for the chimney, which will further heat the water, saving fuel. The gap between the pipe and the tank is thoroughly welded.

In addition, the wall of the water tank is weldedcrane. By the way, it can be installed on a firebox, using for this purpose two rows of refractory bricks - so the water will be heated more evenly. Be sure to decorate the corner in which there is a stove, tiles or foil. This measure will protect you from the danger of fire. If you need a Finnish wood-burning stove for a bath, you'll have to turn to specialists: it's too difficult to produce it yourself.
