How to choose masonry heater cast iron castings

cast iron hardware

There is a steady demand for cast iron products and in general, there are no alternatives.

Cast iron is strong and resistant to high temperatures.

But not only physical properties are the main properties of cast iron.

A wide range of casting molds allows you to produce products in a variety of shapes and designs.

Combine modern materials, heat-resistant coatings, and heat-resistant glass to get the elegant and functional elements of the stove of the future.

But no matter how beautiful the shape, the quality of the casting, of the cast iron, is of paramount importance.

Choose elements that are not visibly damaged: burrs, casings, and chips.

If you find any flaking marks on a cast iron product, despite having been painted, think twice about whether it is worth using.

These marks indicate that mistakes were made during the manufacture of the workpiece or that a poor-quality mold was used for casting.

When choosing a door, pay attention to the reliability of the lock and the quality of the seal.
The door should close tightly, leaving no gaps. In the Fireway fireplace door, for example, the handle tightens the door when closed and the heat-resistant sealing cord laid along the inner perimeter of the door ensures a tight seal.
Incidentally, in the new modification of the door in the mating section of the door body, there is a shoulder that follows the contour of the rope and is used to secure the seal.

If the door is fitted with glass, then when purchasing it, please take care that the glass is free from chips and cracks. This also applies to the edges of the glass. Ideally, the edge should be finished.
