Putty for stoves and fireplaces "Emelya": the pros and cons

Many modern architectural buildings equip an individual heating system. In the cottages, cottages, country houses you can see the heating stoves or existing wood fireplaces.

Performing an aesthetic and heating function, these structures, like all products created by human hands, need finishing. Such a plaster should not be afraid of a strong increase and a sharp change in temperature. Heat-resistant putty for stoves and fireplaces "Emelya" meets all the requirements of the lining of heating equipment.

Putty for stoves and fireplaces "Emelya" is the brainchild of the company "Concorde OST" - a domestic manufacturer of paints and building materials, successfully conducting its activities since the early 2000s.

Technologists of "Concord OST" guarantee that Emelya putty, like all other products of the company, meets all quality standards and norms. The product is easy to use, able to compete with leading Russian and foreign manufacturers of dry and ready-made mortars.

The durability and safety of using stoves and fireplaces are influenced by various factors: proper installation, selection of firewood, ability to properly plant and maintain fire. The maintenance, periodic repair and renewal of the surface is also important. Not the last role in this process is putty.

Emelya plaster is used to finish fireplaces, stoves, chimneys and stoves. It seals and cracks with the help of it, which prevents the room from smoke, increases the long-term preservation of heat by the structure. It is also used as a lining material for the direct laying of furnaces and their tiling.

The putty has excellent binding properties, creates a strong adhesion to the surfaces and reliable fixation of various structural elements. It should be noted that the coating can withstand temperatures of +900 ºC and is not suitable for work in the area of ​​the furnace.

The basis of Emelya refractory putty is kaolin - heat-resistant clay, thinner - water, the composition also contains additives BASF, TROY, ROHM AND HAAS and thickener Dow Chemical. The lining is sold in finished form, the color of the mixture is beige. Shelf life is one year (if the container does not open).

Heating equipment is coated at an ambient temperature of + 5 ° C. Before use, the paste must be thoroughly mixed. At subzero temperatures it is impossible to work with the composition, since water crystallizes, and as a result, the putty will become unusable, will harden, lumps will appear in it.

Facing material "Emelya" is necessary for:

• Improve the appearance of the product.Hard putty is elastic, does not form cracks after drying, creates a natural shade of clay, pleasant on color. In the future, a flat surface can be revetted, whitewashed or treated with heat-resistant paint.
• Ensuring the safety of the operation of the hearth. Under the influence of high temperatures in the masonry, and in the brick itself, cracks may appear, through which smoke begins to flow into the room. This is extremely dangerous for people's lives. Putty "Emelya" is able to penetrate deep into the joints of the masonry, fill all the cracks, providing airtight structural elements.

Facing "Emelya" is used to increase the positive characteristics of the furnaces:

• To facilitate the care of the heating structure. Furnaces and fireplaces decorated with this lining material are much easier to clean from visible sides.
• Increase heat transfer. Heat in the oven, on which there is a putty, lasts longer, therefore, more time will be comfortable in the room.
• Increase the life of the structure.Facing material for stoves and fireplaces is highly resistant to elevated temperatures, therefore, provided the putty is properly applied, the heating elements will not need to be repaired for more than a dozen years.

Special heat-resistant spackling mixture "Emelya" possesses such positive properties:

• Environmentally friendly - safe for humans and the environment. This is an important criterion when choosing a lining, since with strong heating many of the mortar components, which are even harmless in the normal state, can form toxins. In the putty for furnaces "Emelya" such substances are absent.
• Long service life. Properly applied to the surface of the heat source putty, according to the manufacturer, can serve about 50 years.

Working with a coat will have a positive result if observe the manufacturer's recommendations and follow the following sequence:

• The surface of the heating device must be cleaned from dust, dirt, grease, and old peeling coatings. This will improve adhesion, will allow the composition to stay much safer;
• If an already applied coating will not be removed, it is necessary to ensure its strength;
• It is necessary to apply the putty with a continuous layer or with a dotted construction spatula; the thickness of the facing coating should not be more than 5 mm.
• To level the plane you need to have time until the solution is wet. As a rule, 10-15 minutes are allotted for this process, after which the putty hardens.
• If the solution froze, and it was not possible to smooth it completely, you can wet the surface with a spray gun and wipe the remaining area, periodically moistening the work area.

Experts recommend to start a stove or a fireplace before work, the surface should be slightly warm, but not hot. These manipulations are carried out to ensure that the solution fits better on the treated surface and dries faster. In addition, the smoke will allow to detect possible gaps and thereby provide a full repair.

Consumers managed to test the Emelya putty and, using a personal example, made sure that it was a high-quality, reliable, highly plastic material that was easy to work with. It is easily applied to the surface and is easily leveled. After full hardening it is not showered and does not crack.

As noted by buyers, it has a faint smell, but unobtrusive, so work with putty is comfortable enough. The solution is well removed from the tool and hands, does not weigh down the design, and excellently withstands high temperatures.
