The doors for fireplaces - an aesthetic safety or aesthetics ?

doors for fireplaces, their design features and not only

How would you not like to have a wide choice, it will be limited to only two options: blind and transparent latticed doors (both can be single or double).If we look at them, not separating the structural characteristics of the material, it will be obvious that deaf door, no matter how paradoxical it may sound, can also be transparent, being made of glass.In other cases, a transparent refers to various kinds of decorative lattice, but we will return to them later, but for now take a closer look at deaf doors.First, they provide - is an absolute isolation from the fire room.Well, as a secondary factor (but not least) is the accumulation of heat and returns it through a specially made-up air ducts if the fireplace is used as a heating system.

materials due to extremely high temperatures in the furnace (above 800 degrees), only the refractory and refractory may be used, namely, steel, cast iron and a special kind of glass.

No bronze, copper, and especially alabaster (from Gancia) lattice, will not withstand the impact of a hot flame.Steel doors - ideal, however, the least favorite part of the supporters of aesthetic fireplace - open portal (well, people like to enjoy the fire, and then the ugly blank metal door in front of the eyes).Although steel can make real masterpieces, with ornaments and glass inserts refractory (that's you and aesthetic security).Iron

well withstands high temperatures , but less durable than steel, and, of course, is not so beautiful.As for the glass, something about it is a special subject because of its strength in some cases leaves much to be desired.

doors for fireplaces or time bomb?

fun dancing flames of the deaf, but a door transparent - like and beautiful, and safe, but when it comes to glass, fully believe in his invincibility can not.Glass doors for fireplaces are local and imported, the latter are only sold as an integral part of special fireplace inserts, and thus may seem inconvenient for self-laying portal (types of fireplaces are very diverse).However, it is foreign glass doors become a reliable barrier for you and your family against fire element.However, they are almost always not warp, is not wedged, always they close the firebox opening tightly.One their flaw if you want to replace the damage due to the strong mechanical action door, have to buy a new box, imported glass doors are not sold separately.

Whether business domestic door glass.Our manufacturers provide you with an unlimited choice of different sizes, with no inserts, only the frame of the door.Of course, guaranteed and durability, and reliability, even curvature proposed special to your order.One drawback of the valves in the domestic glass - it would seem, fireproof, they burst and explode.In other words, showing the purchase of the fireplace door patriotism, you risk getting into the house of a time bomb, because explosion equivalent to a chimney flap tear grenade fragments fly a few meters around.Together with them can fly and embers, which is bound to cause a fire, even if the walls in the room covers the heat-resistant refractory plaster.As you can see, secure aesthetics - a rarity.

The door to the fireplace in the form of a lattice as a hide for her fire?

Actually, we have already considered deaf chimney flap, what are opened?Remember the classic western and saloon in a small town on a very Wild West.Two flaps that hide behind them like a human shield ancient Greek, from the knee to the chest, playing a purely nominal role, not saving or from the wind or from the shots.Among many others, there is speculation that such doors are made for horses to those it was easier to get in and take drunken masters.But it does not matter, the point is the structure itself, such as it is there are fireplaces and sash, and, at the same time representing a conventional grill.It is logical that there is no such protection does not provide a door for the fireplace, a nice decor and not much else.

By the way, even the deaf door can be dangerous due to the slow but steady heat inside.Imagine what would happen if you accidentally touch a hot steel or glass fireplace dampers.If the thick iron door heated slowly enough, the glass is nearly the same temperature as in the furnace, as soon as possible.Typically, to avoid burns, use special keys or lever mechanisms, but there is a way to prevent leaf heat.For this purpose it is located on a special slot through which the room air enters the cool, creating thus air curtain on the inner side of the door.Leaf with glass soot is eliminated today quite original way: by oxidizing soot on it, which is hereinafter simply burned (pyrolysis method).

As you can see, the choice of materials and structures shutters small fireplace.However, in terms of design when buying a range you will still be offered a very extensive, so that there is no reason to disappointment, pick up an exclusive door you can imagine.
