Terracotta tiles are an indispensable material for lining stoves, chimney walls, fireplaces, and outdoor barbecue stoves. With its help, all these objects can be laid from bricks of any quality – rough, used, with minor defects. Its cost is much lower than face brick. And there is no need to worry about the unsightly appearance of the product – the tiles will cover all the flaws and irregularities.
Advantages of terracotta tiles for stoves
Terracotta tiles not only confirm the high status of the owner of the house, but also play a big role in the heat transfer of the surfaces of the chimney wall. Thus, lined stoves give off 2-3 times more thermal energy than unlined ones. This is due to the large relief of the tile surface: its outer surface is 3 times larger than the base area.
Terracotta tiles are absolutely non-flammable material. Its heat resistance is 1300°C. It does not fade or change its shape during the operation of the oven.
Covering stoves and fireplaces with terracotta tiles gives them additional strength and resistance to cracking and crumbling of masonry joints between bricks.
By using terracotta tiles for oven cladding, you can radically change its design. You can style it as antique Parisian brick, wild rock, or textured brick with a torn, straw-ocher exterior that blends very harmoniously with the flames.
Terracotta tiles are absolutely safe for health, since during their production natural kaolin clay is fired. During operation of the stove, the tiles do not emit any odors or fumes of harmful substances. And if you cover not only the stove, but also the flood area, there will be no need to wash it, since traces of soot are practically invisible on the tiles.
