Tiled stoves, fireplaces, bread ovens, and pizza ovens are heating devices that must be 100% airtight in order to operate efficiently, safely, and economically. Leaks in stove doors are usually easy to spot and should not be ignored. Smoke in the room, difficulties with regulating the draft, increased fuel consumption, rapid cooling of the stove, and visible damage to its surface all lead to the need for maintenance of this appliance. It is often necessary to thoroughly seal the furnace door. This can be done using materials available from the Vitcas online store. The store offers a variety of high-quality refractory materials as well as useful fireplace accessories.
Sealing oven doors – when is it necessary and what materials should be used?
It is always a good idea to check the condition of the oven seal as a preventive measure, at least once per heating season. This can be done by inserting a piece of paper between the door and the frame and trying to pull it out with the door closed. If it moves easily, the seal needs attention. Sealing the furnace door requires the purchase of appropriate fireproof materials, such as putty and sealing cord or heat-resistant glue. These can be found in the Vitcas store. If the damage is more extensive, products such as fireclay mortar or fireclay brick may be needed. It is worth remembering that good thermal insulation is essential for efficient furnace operation, so it is important to ensure that it is properly sealed.
Properly performed oven door sealing guarantees safe, efficient, and economical heating, as well as pleasant warmth in your home. Therefore, this element of regular maintenance should not be underestimated.
