The terra-cotta tiles that we produce apply for the mounting of terra-cotta stoves, witch could be simple heating or cooking stoves, as well as unique stoves and different types of fireplaces.
Aside the practical usefulness of the stoves and fireplaces, it should be remarked their aesthetical effect that
completes the inner scenery with their elegance. For heating, different fuels can be used to ensure the storage of a big quantity of heat and the maintenance
of an nice ambient, by giving it out progressively. |

Terra-cotta tiles production:
|
|
| |
|
The manually processed tiles from infusible clay, ennobled with an engobe layer from kaolin mass, are burnt in gas ovens. The terra-cotta tiles are made in a
variety models with a different ornamental complexity, from simple geometric ornaments to ornaments with 3
cm depth. In the last years, the company’s activity has been focused on manually shaped unique tile models, their production being developed. Nowadays, we are producing approximately 50 tile models in diverse colours |

Technical characteristics of terra-cotta tiles :
|
|
| |
|
high mechanical resistance, owing to the burn process at vitrification temperature; |
| |
|
as a vitreous mass, the glaze ensures tile resistance to chemical agents;. |
| |
|
the glazed tile surface provides a nice look in a various colour tones; |
| |
|
refractory clay being used in tile processing, the stoves and fireplaces have a heating life span of at least 50 years; |
|
| |
Water absorption :
|
|
| |
|
Admissibility conditions: |
| |
|
| |
|
min. 12 % |
| |
|
max. 22 % |
|
| |
|
| |
Impact resistance :
|
|
| |
|
Admissibility conditions: no cracks after impact test |
|
| |
Thermal shock resistance :
|
|
| |
|
Admissibility conditions: no cracks or glaze run out after testing. |
|
| |
Manufacturing norms :
|
|
| |
|
Tiles at standard dimensions, mechanically and manually processed, are made according to STAS 1798-79 standard rules.
Tiles manually processed at special dimensions, used for unique stoves and fireplaces, are made according to SF 31/2001 standard. The above standards display product designs and regulate quality conditions and determination
methods. |
|
| |
Packing :
|
|
| |
|
The mechanically processed tiles are delivered on wooden pallets having corrugated cardboard sheets between tiles rows, thus ensuring the protection for any kind of transportation.
|
| |
|
The manually processed tiles are delivered in cardboard boxes with cardboard separating elements between
the glazed sides of tiles and boxes are packed on wooden-pallets. |
|
| |
Storage:
|
|
| |
|
Tile storage needs closed and dry rooms, away form moisture action. The wooden-pallets handling is performed with a stacker. |
|
| |
Transportation:
|
|
| |
|
Tile transportation is accomplished with proper closed and moisture proof means and devices. |
|
|
|
| |
Mounting:
|
|
| |
|
The stoves are built by fastening the tiles with a mixture of clay and chamotte powder or refractory bricks (chamotte) and the flues are made of the same material, their number and disposal depending on stove’s size and type of the employed fuel.
The stoves and fireplaces are built on tile rows. In a row, the tiles side by side become rigid through steel wire clamps. The stove and fireplace furnaces are built from chamotte bricks, resistant to heating/ cooling cycles.
Rows one over another are being built without binding them with clamps term of the designed stove size. Flues are made from red bricks term of stove/fireplace
size and fuel type. For solid fuels the passing ways must be larger than gas ones. Last row over the flue is tighten this way: |
| |
|
| |
|
if the stove/ fireplace is smaller than 1600 mm, special pieces will be used, such as export corner and lateral cupola and floor plates; |
| |
|
if the stove/ fireplace height is above 1600 mm, the last row can be covered with red bricks, thin bricks or plain briquette.
For stoves and fireplaces cut and pre-mounted in our section, at customer's request we deliver also
the mounting design with piece row numbering.
Tiles packed in cardboard boxes are labelled with the mounting ID number. |
