What to choose - "Inox" or "Carbon"?
The TMF company marks its sauna heaters with two indices: "Inox" or "Carbon". Which label is attached to the product depends on the material the heater is made of:
"Inox" means that these heaters are made of heat-resistant, highly alloyed corrosion-resistant steel (stainless steel) with a chromium content of up to 13%. The quality of corrosion-resistant steel is confirmed by factory certificates. This greatly extends the life of the heater. The wall thickness of sauna heaters is about 3-2 mm. Owners of "Inox" heaters are guaranteed that the heater will work properly for at least 3 years. This is achieved by the integrity of the metal and welded seams. Stainless steel is also used in the external decorative elements of the heater.
"Carbon" - means that these heaters are made of reinforced, structural steel (carbon steel), the wall thickness in heaters with the "Carbon" mark varies from 7 to 4 mm, depending on the thermal load of the wall. These heaters come with a 2-year warranty. Carbon heaters made of structural steel, with proper use, do not have a very different service life compared to "Inox" heat-resistant steel heaters. The most important thing is not to overheat it and you will use it no less than other heaters. "Carbon" products do not contain harmful substances, so they do not pose a threat to human life, health and the environment. In this regard, the recycling of the product can be carried out in accordance with the general rules for the disposal of industrial waste.
Heaters of different models with the same names are completely identical in design and features, only the material from which the heater is made and the price differ. For example: "Angara 2012 Carbon" and "Angara 2012 Inox".
