Although the sheer beauty of the flames is seductive,
most conventional fireplaces are ineffective when it comes to heating.
In fact, some fireplaces draw heat out of a room. So how can your
love of a good, roaring fire peacefully coexist with the need to
keep your house warm? One word: TULIKIVI (TWO-lee-KEE-vee).
In Finnish, it literally means "fire stone". In English, it translates into one of the world's most beautiful and efficient
ways to heat your house.
Tulikivi fireplaces come in many beautiful designs
that will enhance any decor from traditional to contemporary. Standard
options - including mantelpieces, benches, bakeovens, and decorative serpentine or roughface stone - make it easy to customize any
of the basic models to suit individual heating, cooking, and decorating
needs. Heating capacity, which corresponds to the fireplace size,
ranges from 750 square feet to almost 2,000 square feet. Choosing
the right model depends on the size of the space you want to heat,
how your house is insulated and laid out, as well as average seasonal
temperatures in your region of the country.
Tulikivi fireplaces are manufactured in Finland. They have been tested both by
the company's own laboratory and by well-known, independent testing
facilities around the world. All of our fireplaces comform to international
standards and quality norms. When it comes to testing, they even
pass the strictest safety and environmental standards of the world,
such as the UL/ULC, and are recommended by the Ecological Institute
in Rosenheim. Tulikivi has also been awarded the ISO 9001 Quality
Assurance Certificate.
