Pig-iron furnaces have proven themselves best when working under conditions of intense thermal stress. The low linear expansion provides a longer service life than other materials.
When choosing a bath stove made of cast iron, it is necessary first of all to focus on the volume of the room. The parameters recommended by the manufacturer are indicated in the passport of each product. At the same time, it is necessary to make a small margin of power - this will allow you to safely use the bathhouse in winter and compensate for heat loss.
It is also necessary to take into account the organization of the internal space of the bath.If you plan to heat the stove from the rest room, you should think about a modification with a fireplace door, which will give the room additional comfort.
