It is by now undisputed that a fireplace is a great thing. For one, he made a very healthy heat which is recommended by health professionals and to others he is a very economic heating, because it is highly efficient, low wood consumption, saving, at the low timber prices on the wallet. In addition there are arguments of CO2 neutrality and comfort, and more - short - An all around great!
Now it is also such that a tile stove, the stove builders built, represents a considerable investment. No wonder that many home workers feel the need to face their fireplace to build their own!
stove in yourself!
There are now numerous stove kits and fireplace systems, which promise an easy and inexpensive especially by self-help. Unfortunately, most of these kits are liable also indicated that these are often just rip off the blue-eyed hobbyists, as they include a hand materials that are not or only partially suitable to be fitted into a stove. Not to mention the fact that there are usually no approved systems.
Why is not that easy DIY stove?
The stove technology is a fairly complex combustion system that is individually designed with a computer program for the respective housing. Play the necessary power (depending on room size, insulation, etc. - as the heat demand), chimney height, flue cross-section, blankets, etc. Load a role. This then results in the combustion chamber and the downstream gas passes. It then goes to the exact cross-sections and thicknesses of the interior material. Finally, the stove is also built accordingly to ensure the tightness.
We summarize these aspects together is presented to us the question: Is it even possible to build a stove myself? In principle, I think
a skilled craftsman quite as able on the basis of calculation tiled interior and the appropriate materials (eg Luxit for interior Luxit Connect with adhesive, storage, and radiation mantle of solid tiles) a stove based on the original plan to build their own! Such manufacture complete kits for stove makers and DIY offers about Spirit of Fire at ( stove kit ) Spirit of Fire plans for customers (Ofenbauer and ambitious self-builders) individual solutions and also provides the material for these stoves together in full (including the interior calculation the lounge suitable material)!
When quoting from Spirit of Fire decide but then most of it to the stove to have the same set up from the engineering! The reasons are obvious. Usually the cost of installation of these kits fireplace in a very moderate frame and clear to understand. In addition, a stove from the stove builder a corresponding statutory warranty. Furthermore, that the furnace builders have the appropriate tools and know-how to the stove in a fraction of the time establish that it would need a hobbyist. Finally, I would like
again for the record, however, that a stove kit also very accurate in terms of its quality should be screened as low risk materials in a fireplace not only the environment but also can be hazardous to health!
make sure your fireplace kit on a high-quality materials !
make sure your fireplace kit that you have a corresponding interior calculation.
make sure your fireplace kit that the interior work exactly according to this calculation is (as you may experience that it does not work and / or an environmental Dreckschleuder) is
