This is a progress report to let our community know what we have been working on.
At the heart is a modular approach where the firebox, the heat exchange design, and options like adding an oven are independent of each other so that each can be developed and documented separately and then combined for each specific project. One important aspect is that it focuses on a standardized firebox that can be tested and certified for combustion efficiency.
At this point, we are focused on developing plans and instructions for a hybrid approach to masonry heater core construction which combines the use of firebrick available at a local masonry yard for the simplest shapes with cast parts for the more complex and technical shapes. The end result is a pallet with the cast parts, hardware, and other specialized materials (lintels, insulation, gasketing) for your project delivered via LTL freight to your location to streamline your procurement process. Plans and instructions are delivered digitally.
The FlexCore firebox can be applied to a range of heat exchange strategies to fit the architecture of your project.
Finishes for heaters using the FlexCore design system include brick, stone, plaster and a wide array of tile.
