Tulikivi Wood-Fired Masonry Heaters and Fireplaces

It's the stone which makes Tulikivi products such a pleasure to admire as it heats your home. The pastel marbled soapstone makes the difference, and elevates a mere fireplace into a full-fledged masonry heater. A fireplace heats only the air, glass and metal sides which surrounds the fire. The most efficient steel stove cools in a timely manner once the fire dies down. Just like boulders exposed to the July sun, soapstone retains and radiates heat for hours after the source has vanished.

Tulikivi stoves are site built by Aaron's in either new or existing homes, from stone and stove hardware imported from Finland. Tulikivi combines contemporary European styling with the timeless appeal of wood heat. These models are only a sampling of how the versatility of stone elevates the masonry heater and fireplace from a simple square box. Tulikivi can feel at home in any room with nearly any floorplan.

Is a Tulikivi safe for my family?

Very. The soapstone gets warm in normal use-- but never dangerously hot, as, for example, a cast-iron woodstove does. Scientific studies show radiant heat to be among the healthiest forms available. All Tulikivi fireplaces and products meet Underwriter's Laboratory (UL/ULC) standards.

Can I use a Tulikivi as a primary heat source?

Yes. depending on the size, location, and insulation of your house. (An electric backup option is available.) A Tulikivi works extremely well as a secondary heat supply and can reduce your heating load significantly.

Is a Tulikivi difficult to clean?

No. Because the fire burns so clean, soot and creosote are rarely a problem, and the high heat of the fire burns bakeoven spills away. Fly ash does build up, but is easy to brush out. As with any fireplace, you should have your chimney professionally cleaned once a year.

Is a Tulikivi easy to install?

Very. In a properly prepared site, installation takes only one to three days, requires few materials, and is a remarkably clean, hassle-free process.
