Insulating The Fireplace : Pros & Cons; Tools - Stuv 21 Installation Instructions Manual

Insulating the fireplace : pros & cons
Safety
Take the necessary precautions to
prevent excessive heating of the
recess walls and construction materials
close to the stove (e.g. wooden
beams) and insulate these materials
according to industry regulations and
the applicable standards depending on
their flammability.
Improvement of performance
Thermal insulating materials can also
be placed against the stove to improve
its performance.
Stûv offers the option of rigid,
prefabricated, 10 mm thick panels,
which insert perfectly into the runners
designed for this purpose [photo 1].

inflammable materials from excessive
heating.
The advantage : reduction of heat
loss : this applies in particular if the
stove is against an external wall ; if this
is not the case, heat will not be lost :
0,4 x 2,5
it will dissipate into the brickwork and
then into adjacent rooms .
ph 2
The disadvantages: when using
a fibre insulator (mineral wool), a
sealed recess has to be built and ducts

installed for the convection circuit
to prevent insulation particles being
suspended in the convection air or in
the room where the stove is installed.
