Important tips for heating with gas-fired or wood-fired stoves and fireplaces.
Prevent discolouration of walls and ceilings!
There are always dust particles in the air in every living space, even if it is regularly vacuumed! These particles are clearly visi-
ble in rays of sunlight and they will not bother you as long as the concentration of particles in the air remains low. The indoor
climate can only be described as bad if these particles are floating through the room in larger quantities for any reason whatso-
ever and, above all, if the air is additionally polluted by soot and tar particles caused by the burning of candles or oil lamps for
example, and by smoking cigarettes or cigars! In a heated living space, cooled air slowly streams across the floor to the combus-
tion appliance. This air is heated in the convection system of the stove or fire, causing a fast-rising column of warm air to de-
velop, which then spreads throughout the room again. As a consequence, this air always contains dust and other pollutant parti-
cles that will leave deposits on cold and often damp surfaces. This is potentially a particular problem in new buildings that are
not yet dry (construction moisture). An unwelcome result of this phenomenon could be discolouration of walls and/or ceilings!
How can you prevent these problems?
If the gas-fired or wood-fired appliance is fitted with insulated covering, one of the following materials should only be used:
Loose white insulation wool (heat resistant to 1000°C)
Rocktherm 180.012 insulation wool (700°C) from Rockwool, or the equivalent
Other mineral insulation wool without binding agents (synthetic resins) or water-repellent substances (mineral oils).
Wait at least 6 weeks before firing a newly-bricked chimney or after renovations, since the construction moisture must have dis-
appeared completely from walls, floor and ceiling. The room where the appliance is located must be well-ventilated and the re-
quired ventilation must be in compliance with the stipulations of the local Buildings Decree. Use candles and oil lamps as little
as possible and keep the wicks as short as possible. These two “atmospherics” provide considerable quantities of pollutant and
unhealthy soot particles in your home. Smoke from cigarettes and cigars contains tarry substances which will also leave deposits
on colder and damp walls when heated. If the interior climate is bad, this phenomenon may also occur above radiators and light-
ing fixtures and at ventilation grilles, although to a lesser degree.
