3. Components
* Our insert fires are built entirely of top-quality carbon steel plate, with a thickness of 0,118 inches (3
mm) and 0,19 inches (5 mm) in the combustion chamber and 0,019 inches (1,5mm) in the casing.
Other parts, such as the door and ash drawer, use 0,019 inches (1,5 mm) and 0,078 inches (2 mm)
plates;
* Heat-resistant ceramic glass. Can handle temperatures of up 1382°F (750°C) in continuous use;
* The combustion chamber is coated with a heat-resistant material known as vermiculite, a hydro
silicate that can withstand temperatures in the order of 2012°F (1100°C). Its insulating properties allow
the unit to take better advantage of the heat, improve efficiency and provide greater protection for the
steel plate forming the combustion chamber walls, thus prolonging the life of the equipment.
* Heat-resistant paint for temperature peaks up to 1652°F (900°C) and operating temperatures in the
order of 1112°F (600°C);
* The ash grate is made from a 0,19 inches (5mm) thick plate.
