Many people who are not familiar with the construction of a central heating system wonder what lining a cooker with chamotte gives. It is worth learning about the properties of materials such as fireclay bricks and chamotte tiles to understand the need for them.
Fireclay bricks and slabs exhibit high refractory and heat-accumulating properties. This makes them a suitable insulating material for use in the construction of a central heating cooker. When exposed to high temperatures, fireclay bricks and slabs will not crack, deform or shrink. These products are also highly resistant to abrasion or high force. When modernising an existing central heating system or creating one from scratch, it is useful to know how to lay fireclay bricks in the central heating cooker. Experts recommend laying fireclay bricks or chamotte panels in the central heating cooker in a U-shape, up to a height of approx. 25 cm.
What does lining a co cooker with chamotte offer? – Excellent thermal insulation
If you are also asking yourself – what is the benefit of lining your cooker with chamotte – remember that with this material you can use less fuel, so it is financially worthwhile. Chamotte slabs and bricks can come into direct contact with fire and, as a result, get very hot. Thanks to their unique properties, they accumulate heat and release it over a long period of time, which makes it possible to reduce the amount of fuel used. It is worth remembering that both slabs and chamotte bricks must be installed in the cooker with the help of a special fireclay mortar or adhesive with similar properties, which can be found in the Vitcas shop.
