Bath in the country is great. It is useful in it and pleasant, and how nice, to a large extent depends on the Kamenka stove. To get only pleasure from staying in the bath, and not problems, it should be safe. The more the furnace is repelled, the more the wall heats up to which it is adjacent, as well as before the fire. How to protect yourself than isolate the stove in the bath from the wall, will be told in this article.

Requirements for materials that we choose for insulation furnace in a bath from the wall

Usually the steam room is separated by a tree. This is not only right, but also useful for health. Thus it is necessary to protect the wooden wall of the furnace. Otherwise, under the influence of high temperatures, wood collapses. Although, if the distance from the furnace wall is to 1 m, it is possible to do without it. Choosing material for a bath and furnace insulation unit from the wall, it is necessary first of all to pay attention to two things:

• its effectiveness;
• on ecological safety.

As for efficiency, then this material, among others, is the asbestos, but in terms of environmental safety, it is better not to use. After all, every time you visit the baths, you and your family members will inhale carcinogens allocated to them under heat. Therefore, the choice of materials, which are based:

• natural stone;
• fiberglass;
• stone fibers;
• rustproof metal.

When asked how to isolate the oven from the wall, there are many answers. And you need to choose the method that best suits you, both in terms of aesthetics, safety, and cost.

The fire-resistant gypsum board for wall insulation in the bath

As an option, to isolate the oven from the wall, you can use the GKLO - fire-resistant gypsum board, and they stick the tiles of granite.

properties GKLO

Refractory plasterboard sheets have the following features:

• able to maintain fire resistance for 25 minutes;
• resisting the effects of fire up to 55 minutes.

Top fireproof plasterboard

High-quality fire-resistant plasterboard releases German manufacturer - the company Knauf (Knauf). It:

• plate with sides 120h250 cm, thickness 1.25 cm;
• the right and wrong side - building paper, in the middle - the core, which includes in its membership a special glass fiber, which cause a large fire resistance material;
• edge of the sheet covered with cardboard. For easy docking sheets has a bevel;
• sheet is attached as a profile, and the adhesive Knauf Perflix.

miner

In Finland, Cembrit Oy produces an excellent heat-resistant, environmentally friendly material, which is ideal to protect the walls of the furnace - Miners. Plates include in its membership:

• white or gray cement, 90%;
• mineral fillers;
• reinforcing fiber.

The main advantage of minerita is that there is no asbestos, while domestic manufacturers are using it in the manufacture of fiber-cement boards.

installation minerita

Before isolating the stove away from the wall, acquire:

• minerita sauna sheets LP - 2 units .;
• 30 mm ceramic mounting sleeve - 4 pcs .;
• screws countersunk or rounded head.

How to mount the plate depends on the distance from the furnace to the wall:

• if the oven is located at quite a distance from the wall, the Miners mounted on the wall using the screws;
• at least 50cm, the sheet is not mounted flush with the wall, and with a gap of 3 cm, which are used for ceramic sleeve;
• if there is very little space between the stove and wall of the bath, then two sheets are fixed.

Installation of double sheets is performed simply:

• we take a sheet and install it on the wall, screwing down with screws;
• next, the installation of ceramic sleeves should be set;
• after performing the first two operations, fasten the second sheet.

Keep in mind: If you finish the walls behind the furnace in a newly built building, then when shrinking, a sheet of minorite can give a crack. To eliminate this problem, you need to make grooves in the sheet, for which the screws will walk, and put trimming on the floor under the floor. When the shrinkage process is completed, the sheets are finally screwed.

Additionally, it will help to help a stainless steel sheet attached to the stove.

Stainless steel protective screen

Using the thermal protective screen from the mirror stainless steel, you reliably protect the walls of the bath from fire. The screen can be ordered or purchased ready with basalt wool in addition. In addition to stainless steel:

1. It is impossible to be better, suitable for stainless steel screen. Non-flavored needle-free thermal insulating glass canvas. His advantages:

• the absence of a resin emitting toxic gases during heating;
• easy installation. 2. Good and hot rail mat Rockwool Firebatts, supplied from Denmark. This product of the Rockwool Group of Companies:

• made from basalt wool, Rockwoo - hygroscopic and heat-resistant;
• withstand temperatures up to 750 degrees C.

Superisole

The Danish company SKAMOL produces material that is used as isolation, superisole (Super ISOL). His advantages:

• universal;
• incombustible;
• maximum temperature withstanding during operation, 1000 degrees C;
• light;
• lasting.

Stove wall decoration

If your sauna is a wooden log house, then:

• when finishing the walls around the furnace Minister, it is advisable to leave 3 cm air clearance, using all the same ceramic sleeves. The air will be circulated between the wall and the mineritis sheet, not allowing their heating to the exhaust temperatures. The heat-resistant tile on top of the miniritis sheets will decorate the walls and secain additionally;
• the walls adjacent to the metal furnace in the bath protect the same way using a red full-length brick. I put it on the height of the furnace, but, if you wish, you can also before the ceiling.

Separately, I would like to stay on the heat-resistant tile.

Heat-resistant tile from the company "Terracot"

A good option is a heat-resistant tile "Miami" with imitation of the weathered sandstone, manufactured by the Russian company "Terracot". A little more about it:

• the main thing is that this tile is environmentally friendly. The basis is the kaolin clay of different rare varieties. Dyes and chemical additives are not used;
• this material is universal: used both for inner cladding and outdoor;
• the color scheme is very expressive and does not change from the effects of high temperature;
• it is durable and durable;
• possesses good air and vapor permeability;
• the maximum temperature that this refractory tile is capable of withstanding is 1100 degrees C;
• fasten the tile with the help of heating the heat-resistant "terracotta". The company produces and grout for seams.

The company produces tiles and other textures, each of them has its own unique charm. It:

• shamot;
• flagstone;
• old lock;
• chole tree;
• old brick;
• papyrus;
• ripped stone and others.

Remember: Before glueing the heat-resistant tile, apply heat-resistant mastic on the slab from Ministerite.

Inexpensive way to protect between oven and wall

To protect the wooden walls of the bath from excessive heating in the zone of the furnace, you can use profile iron that is used for roofs. For this you need:

• metal hollow tubes. Optimal diameter 3/8 ";
• profile iron.

Getting to work:

• on the adjacent walls of the wall kpripim tube;
• to the tubes are dripping metalfield. At the same time, the floor and the ceiling do not reach 100 mm; On the profile again placing the tube. They should occupy the situation similar to the one that they occupy on the wall;
• on the tubes place the profile. Air when heated passes 100 mm Clearance at the floor and finds access to the ceiling through the same gap. The walls are not heated.

Another way to insulate the furnace in the bath is an extra wall between the oven and the wall. Extra wall perform from non-combustible materials: from plaster, for example.
