Brick oven for a bath

The most important point in the construction of a bath is a masonry
Furnace. Correctly folded brick oven for a bath provides a comfortable
Temperature and optimum humidity in the room. This design gives steam that does not burn, holds heat for a long time and evenly heats the steam room and the entire bath. Some models are equipped with built-in tanks for heating water.

A brick oven for a bath consists of a firebox, a ash pan, a chimney
And stoves. During construction, special attention should be paid to the chimney, as
On this depends a safe stay in the steam room. The chimney must have
Output is not less than a meter above the roof level. The pipe laying on the roof is carried out only on cement mortar. A brick oven for a bath with its own hands must meet all fire safety requirements.

The constructions are laid out only from high-quality brick of M mark from 75
Up to 150. This material has a frost resistance of 30 or more cycles. For masonry
Suitable brick without cracks, regular shape and with good firing. Brick
The stove for a bath is faced with fire-resistant fireclay or refractory bricks.
It is inadmissible to use crevice, perforated or silicate bricks. The constructions do not require additional plastering and finishing with ceramic tiles - they perfectly fit into the interior of the wooden bath. Immediately after laying the furnace can not be melted, you need to wait until the material dries completely.

To avoid the formation of soot, a brick oven with its own hands is equipped with a closed combustion chamber. In this case, the stones warm up faster, providing optimum steam parameters. In order to increase the rate of heating of the stones, in some cases a cast iron or steel scrap is used in the lower layer.

The weight of the finished structure is about 1200 kg, so a brick oven for a bath should be installed on a solid foundation. The oven should be located no closer than 40-50 cm from the walls of the bath. The foundation is a few centimeters
Exceeds the dimensions of the furnace.

For rooms of different heights, a different number of rows of bricks are planned. Counting the series starts from the lowest - solid. Laying is checked on the first lined row by a plumb or laser level. Before the furnace door of the furnace, a heat-insulating material is laid on the floor, which is covered with a sheet of metal. The distance of the heating door must be at least 1.3 m
To the opposite wall.

For the construction of a sauna oven, calculations can be made based on the following data: for masonry of one square meter, 0.25 m3
Solution and 400 pieces of bricks. The solution for the construction of the furnace is made from a mixture
Sand and clay in a ratio of 1: 2 or 1: 1, depending on the composition of the clay. Masonry
It is necessary to perform very carefully and monitor the density of the joints. Carelessly
Folded furnace can become a source of carbon monoxide and cause
Poisoning.

The inner part of the furnace is made smooth, without punctures and roughness. After every 5-6 rows of masonry, the inner surface is treated with a wet brush or a rag. After putting the next row of bricks, be sure to check the angles for a rectangle. Laying is strictly in accordance with the rule of overlapping the vertical seam on top of the brick.
A typical brick is not recommended to be covered with refractory or refractory bricks, as they react differently to heating, and subsequently, gaps may appear in the construction. Built-in water tanks, slabs, grate bars and latches are installed strictly parallel to the masonry. The firebox must be at least 35 cm in height and 25 cm in height
In width. Full-fledged combustion is achieved in the firebox height of 60 cm. The walls at the bottom of the firebox are made with a slight inclination to the grate for the gradual removal of coals.
