Nothing warms a room like a fireplace...well, at least in theory. 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. (That's 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.
