Before starting work on facing the stove surface, it is necessary to find out that the temperature of the maximum heating of the furnace surface. It is necessary to find out in order to choose the most suitable adhesive materials for tiles. When heating the surface of the furnace to temperatures not exceeding 70 degrees for facing, it is permissible to use adhesive mastics.
If this temperature limit is exceeded, you will have to conduct a decorative cladding using a clay solution. In the simplified version, ceramic tiles are used for the facing of the furnace. Before facing, the surface must be leveled so that the tile is very uniformly and tight.
In professional work with furnace, specialized tiles are used – tiles in which there are a variety of materials that increase its resistance to high temperatures. Tiles can be richly decorated, and the stoves and fireplaces they lined with being a real work of art.
Tiles and tiles for cladding
Prior to the start of the cladding, it is necessary to calculate the amount of material necessary for work. For work, tiles should be purchased 15-20 % more, as it is worth providing that it will break, stay when pruning, and also if some part of the tile disappears.
After acquiring the necessary materials, you should go to the surface cleaning stage. After that, it is necessary to plaster the walls, with the help of a sand-cement mixture, in terms of the ratio of three to one. Before these works you need to wet the surface a little. The simplicity of further laying of the tiles depends on the work on plastering. Start laying tiles from the bottom.
Stove
The initial row is strictly horizontal. Glue or clay solution, applied completely to the entire opposite direction of the tile. Next, the tile is applied to the wall and pressed. Tile cutting is carried out using a tile cutter, as well as a cutter.
After installing the tiles, the seams are filled with a grout – a rubber spatula. After a complete grout of the joints, it is necessary to clean the tile. It is recommended to use the stove no earlier than five days after the end of the cladding of its surface, with small use of firewood, since the tile can still disappear.
