A lot of home craftsmen make their own sauna stoves. However, not only for the bath. In order for the stove to have an attractive appearance, it is advisable to paint it. Since paint not only improves appearance, but also protects the metal surface from splashes and reduces surface contact with oxygen, oxidation occurs more slowly.
Brick stoves are less often painted, especially when they are made of good brick. But in some cases, the brick begins to crumble - it has overheated or was unlucky with the batch. Cracks also often appear in the masonry. They are sealed with mortar, but in order to give a more presentable appearance, they are painted. For all these needs, high-temperature paint is required.

Why do you paint stoves?
The stove is designed to fit organically into the home interior, and sooner or later it will need to be painted. There are different types of painting building materials for painting a brick stove in a house, but not all of them are suitable for processing hot heating surfaces. The main task of painting a brick oven is to create a decorative effect. Since it is considered not only a heating device, but also a design component of the interior, in harmony with the design of the room.
There are a number of prerequisites for painting brick walls of ovens:
- Aesthetic side, to create a cozy atmosphere in the room.
- On the practical side, proper painting of the furnace walls increases their heat transfer.
- Increasing the level of safe operation, since the paint layer prevents the appearance of cracks and breaks in the brick.
- Biological protection against fungal formations and mold.
Paints for radiators and heating pipes
Which is better to buy enamel or paint for painting cast iron or metal heating radiators and pipes connected to them that have lost their appearance in order to restore their attractive appearance? The answer is simple: it is best to opt for special heat-resistant compounds for batteries. The prices for such products are quite affordable, and you can do the work yourself.
You will find an excellent selection of heat-resistant paints and alkyd enamels for painting cast iron and metal batteries and hot heating pipes at low prices on the website of our Arlene online store in the “Fire-retardant, heat-resistant paints” section. Our assortment includes quick-drying modern products, environmentally friendly, odorless. You can buy products from Alpina, Dufa, Profi (Tex) and other brands.
How to paint correctly?
When we have decided on the type of paint, we begin to prepare the surface. To do this, use a scraper or a soft metal brush to remove uneven surfaces, dust, and dirt. To ensure that the paint is well distributed, it is recommended to further process the masonry with sandpaper. To make the heating device heat resistant, the surface is treated with a special primer. When the masonry is completely dry, apply paint in 2-3 layers with a brush or roller. When the main paint is completely dry, if desired, patterns and ornaments are applied to the surface of the brick oven.
Paints for painting radiators and pipes: characteristics
When performing repairs, many people still apply conventional enamels and paints to radiators. This solution is not entirely justified: coatings quickly crack and turn yellow. Special compositions for radiators and heating pipes have the following advantages:
- Calmly withstands high temperatures (up to 80-90oC, some products even up to 100oC), does not crack, does not change color when heated
- Protects the surface from rust and other types of corrosion
- Heat-resistant enamels and paints for hot pipes and heating radiators do not require professional skills when applied - you can choose and buy a suitable composition and paint it yourself
- The compositions have high hiding power, apply in an even layer, dry quickly
- Can be applied to “old” coating (if it is durable)
- Create high-quality effective coatings - matte, glossy, semi-gloss
- Non-toxic
- White alkyd enamels and paints for radiators and heating pipes are tinted according to the manufacturer’s tables
- Some paints for painting radiators and heating pipes can be applied without cooling the heating elements
Preliminary preparation of the stove for painting
Before deciding how to paint the brick stove in your house, you need to prepare the surface.
The new furnace does not require virtually any special technological operations, just cleaning from dust contamination. If the stove is plastered, you need to examine it to ensure that the surface is in good condition and that there are no cracks or peeling. To clean the outside of the furnace masonry, you will need the following equipment:
- Steel spatula for preparing the surface, as well as for subsequent puttying work.
- A stiff brush for removing the remaining putty layer.
- Electric drill and mixing attachment for preparing mortars.
If the layer of plaster is more than 1 cm and it is damaged by cracks, it must be dismantled - the crumbling areas must be removed and the surface cleaned with a spatula or a stiff brush. All cracks or missing parts are rubbed with lime/gypsum mortar. After the composition has dried, it is necessary to clean the surface with a moistened rag. For better interaction of the color with other materials, it is recommended to impregnate the surface of the oven with a primer.
In what cases is it recommended to buy paint for radiators and heating pipes?
- If new metal pipes, cast iron or metal radiators without special coating are installed
- If the color of the factory paint on the radiators or pipes does not match the interior of the apartment
- If old coatings have lost their appearance
Attention! It is not recommended to use enamels and paints for painting pipes and radiators with high heat transfer or operating in industrial conditions with constant heating above 90 oC. Even if you buy the best battery paints with excellent characteristics at a high price, they will not withstand such conditions. In this case, factory powder coating is required.
Question: I want to buy good white paint or enamel for radiators and hot heating pipes. I heard that the coatings gradually turn gray. Is it so? What product is better to buy to avoid the problem?
Answer: Indeed, this happens over time if you buy matte paint for painting cast iron or metal radiators and heating pipes. The effect does not depend on the price of the product; even the best matte battery paints darken slightly over time. This is due to the characteristics of matte paint: it has a porous structure, and dust gets into the pores.
If you want to avoid this, use gloss or semi-gloss finishes that are easy to clean. However, matte compositions also have an advantage: they perfectly hide small surface irregularities.

What types of paints and enamels are there for batteries, radiators and hot pipes?
Alkyd enamels and paints, as well as heat-resistant acrylic-based compounds, are most often used for painting radiators and heating pipes. As a rule, they can also be used to cover metal, wood and mineral surfaces that are constantly exposed to high temperatures (sections of the internal walls of the house under which the chimney is hidden, radiator niches and others).
Heat-resistant acrylic enamels for painting radiators and heating pipes - odorless compositions. They dry quickly and retain color well. Many people are concerned about the cost of paint for batteries. The price for acrylic compositions is slightly higher than for alkyd ones, but this difference is not so significant, given the long period of operation of the resulting coatings. For acrylic enamels for radiators, we recommend buying Alpina Heizkorperlack, Dufa Heizkorperlach.
As for alkyd enamels and paints for cast iron batteries and hot pipes , they are also resistant to high temperatures and do not wear off or crack during use. Among the disadvantages of such compositions, it is perhaps worth mentioning the gradual yellowing of the coatings obtained as a result of their use, but this applies to a greater extent to cheap low-quality products. Good alkyd paints for pipes and batteries of high quality do not lose their original shade for a very long time. We suggest using the following alkyd enamels: Dufa Aqua Heizkorperlach, Tex Profi. This is an ideal choice for pipes and heating radiators: the compounds dry quickly, are easy to apply, do not turn yellow or crack.
We remind you that you will always find great deals on fire-resistant, fire-resistant heat-resistant (heat-resistant) paints for metal, wooden surfaces, stoves and barbecues, metal structures, for radiators, radiators or hot heating pipes in the Arlind online store. You can buy Tikkurila, Rogneda, Neomid products from us at low prices with delivery in Moscow and Russia.
Using chalk
Many people are interested in the question of how to paint a building the old-fashioned way using chalk. Everything is quite simple: after the plaster is completely dry, you can begin the process of painting the surface. If previously a Russian stove was painted with chalk, then it is better to use it for reconstruction work.
There are two options here: you can take regular white paint, or use a water-based dye; adding color is also acceptable. If you do not want the structure to acquire an unaesthetic yellowish tint in the future, then blue, previously diluted in ordinary water, should be added to the chalk.
The coating composition must be prepared in advance as it will need to sit for some time to reach the correct consistency. Chalk paint for a brick oven is made as follows:
- Take pieces of chalk or chalk paste.
- Place the material in a bucket.
- Fill it with water until completely covered.
- Leave for 2 hours to infuse.
In order not to waste time, you should prepare a special adhesive part for the chalk mortar for brick stoves and fireplaces. It is made on the basis of gelatin, wood glue or casein glue, diluted in a liter of water. For a paint bucket with a volume of 10 liters, take approximately 100 grams of glue.
Painting white
After this, both compositions are carefully mixed, for example, using a construction mixer, until the liquid becomes homogeneous. Now you can add blue at the rate of 60 grams per 10 kg of chalk, also add a heat-resistant liquid that improves the color, and you can begin the coloring itself.
