Finnish furnaces store heat for about 12 hours (small) or even more than a day (large).

Finnish furnaces can be made from cast iron or heat-resistant steel. These materials are very durable, therefore the FinnishThe oven will last you a long time. After the process of making the furnace is finished, it is coated with a special stable two-component paint, which can withstand temperatures up to 600 ° C.

Some Finnish stoves and fireplaces are made of talcum-slate shale (potstone). This material is characterized by high heat capacityand thermal conductivity - several times greater than that of brick. Due to this, a Finnish stove can heat a room of a larger area than a Russian stove (with the same dimensions of the stoves).

If necessary, Finnish furnaces can be suppliedadditional heating elements, which are built into their lateral channels. This allows the use of electricity for additional heating of the room. A Finnish bread oven can be used not only for heating, but also for cooking.

This allows you to install Finnish stoves in living quarters, without fear of fire. Quartz glass is also resistant to sudden temperature changes due to the low expansion factor.

Many are afraid to install in the house of the furnace, tk. there is a risk of carbon monoxide poisoning. In fact, the design of the Finnish kiln is hermetically sealed. Tightness is achieved using a special seal - a ceramic cord. It protects the interior of the furnace from air ingress and does not allow heat to escape outside.
