Published by UnderNews on

With all the advantages of steel chimneys, they are also distinguished by high reliability and durability. Their elements consist of an inner fire clay pipe, an insulating layer on the basalt rock and the outer shell – lightweight foam concrete or stainless steel. Price refractory elements Flue slightly higher than that of steel. But everything pays off long-term operation. The modern market offers and more exotic materials for the chimney.

For example, glass. The advantages of glass flues are: they do not corrode, do not absorb moisture, have a low thermal inertia. But now such chimneys are very expensive and require costly installation. It is possible that in the future, the glass gradually replace other materials production of chimneys. I must say that we have to build more flues used asbestos cement pipes. Unfortunately, this comes from poverty. It should be borne in mind that they are perfect for this purpose not intended.

The fact that this material is carcinogenic to lightly cover the eyes that, as the most dangerous thing that the asbestos-cement pipe fire risks! You should not put their lives at risk for the sake of a dubious economy. Thus, modern chimney systems have significant advantages over traditional brick. And thanks to its characteristics and versatility in a leading position in the now emerging steel flues are made of stainless steel. Its advantages over Steel 3 ("black" steel) are obvious. Low corrosion resistance of the material leads to complete destruction of the air holes in a fairly short time. His primary cheapness leads subsequently to a permanent additional investments. And a decent portion of these costs falls on reassembling the chimney. The more so because the smoke channel is made of stainless steel, reliable and therefore, significantly increases the fire the whole heating system. Single-flue There are two types of metal chimneys – single circuit and double-circuit.

Started to gain popularity radiator screens made of stainless steel. Stainless steel is beautiful in itself. In addition, Different surface treatment can significantly vary the look of the finished screen. Lack of stainless steel screens of their high cost and "specificity" of design that does not always fit them into the interior premises. Wooden screens batteries in most realized it was a decorative function. They are made Cabinetmaking and workshops, usually in the order on the doors or furniture. The cost of wooden screens very high because of the high cost of decorative wood.

It is also possible that the wood can warp and crack under the effect of changes in temperature and humidity. Relatively "exotic" in the direction of manufacture of screens for the batteries is to use a bent-laminated veneer. Finishing the screen is performed using different types of wood. Apparently, the most promising is the use in the manufacture of MDF screens for radiators and various decorative bars. MDF has unique performance characteristics and exceptional decoration. In addition, MDF is environmentally safe. Laminated MDF under the securities wood. In our view, developed by MCHP company "Invest" () a number of sizes of screens made of MDF (individual size flat screens, wall screens, wall screens with the lid, the screens in the form of boxes) to allow the battery solve almost any problem on the decoration of the premises. Their proposed types of perforations and colors options panel can pick up that screen decor radiator which is best suited to the style interior.
