Kachelofen ceramic tile heaters are beautifully designed masterpieces of architecture, a distinctive focal point in any room. Warm, inviting and energy-efficient, these elegant and artistic stoves have been enjoyed by European families for over 1,000 years. They may be customized to suit your lifestyle, tastes and needs, whether used as an architectural centerpiece or as a pleasing enhancement for more intimate family settings.

Why Choose Radiant Kachelofens?

Though the flames are visible, these stoves are safe and healthy - no open fire or fumes - and tiles never get too hot to touch.

How do they work?

Kachelofens use the same principle as a rechargeable battery. Wood is burned in an insulated fire chamber. Combustion gases pass through a set of smoke channels before being released into the chimney. Radiant heat is extracted from the smoke gases and stored in the tiled shell. The heat is evenly and efficiently radiated into a room for several hours to an entire day after the fire has gone out. In some heater designs convection heat is quickly generated by room air warmed by flowing around the fire chamber inside the tiled shell.
