Advantages of Schmid fireboxes:
- The material of the firebox lining is fireclay with a ‘brickwork’ pattern or solid-coloured plates. Available in black colour.
- The cast iron smokebox consists of 4 separate elements.
- A convenient handle for lifting the grate makes it easy to clean the ash drawer.
- Easy adjustment of the combustion air supply.
The smoke box of the firebox cannot be lined with fireclay inside as the internal combustion chamber. The highest temperatures occur there and steel is unsuitable for this part of the firebox. That is why Schmid fireboxes use smokeboxes made of cast iron by Olsberg. Olsberg production has existed for about 3 centuries, cast iron for fireboxes, which is produced at this factory belongs to the class of heat-resistant, has excellent chemical properties and technical characteristics. The special grade of cast iron guarantees reliability and long service life of both the smoke box and the firebox as a whole. The thickness of cast iron in the high temperature zone reaches 8-15 mm, somewhat weighing down the construction of the firebox, but prevents it from breaking and meets safety requirements.
The smoke collector consists of several parts, which makes it possible to connect to the chimney vertically, horizontally or at an angle of 45 degrees.
The body of Schmid fireboxes is made of special steel with a thickness of 4 to 5 mm in the most vulnerable places. It is heat-resistant non-alloyed steel and has the properties of not deforming under high temperature loads. Inside each firebox is lined with fireproof chamotte. The use of this material has been tested for decades, it is best suited for the internal lining of the fireplace, having high temperature resistance and uniform slow heat dissipation. In addition, it is durable and lasts a long time without losing its properties.
