NEW-LOOK HIISI FIREPLACES IN THE STARRING ROLE AT TULIKIVI’S HABITARE STAND

The popular Hiisi fireplace, that is now available in new colours and with new surface materials, will be on display at Tulikivi’s stand at Habitare. The Aalto fireplace features the totally new Tulikivi Figure cladding with its undulating surface. Heat-retaining Hiisi 2 and Hiisi 4 fireplaces are also now available in white. The Nuoska sauna heater, winner of the 2012 Fennia Prize, will be displayed in matte black. New interior stone products will also be on show at the stand.

Impressive display with new Hiisi fireplacesTulikivi Figure, as featured on Tulikivi’s new Aalto fireplace, is a completely new surface material for heat-retaining fireplaces. It provides freedom in design, making various surface structures possible, for example. Tulikivi Figure is a combination of a fireproof material and soapstone which can be made into elements of different sizes and shapes. Aalto is available in white and dark grey. The range of colours will be extended, as it is possible to produce Tulikivi Figure in various different colours.

Tulikivi will also present its new Hiisi 4 heat-retaining fireplace that is clad in white. The fireplace is still made of natural soapstone, but it is clad with Tulikivi’s white surface material. The grey, heat-retaining Hiisi 2 fireplace that was launched in July 2012 will also be on display at the Habitare fair.

Silmu and Kaarna fireplaces with new composite stone cladding The new Silmu and Kaarna fireplaces, which are clad with composite stone, will be at Tulikivi’s stand at the Habitare fair. Kaarna is clad with new, large stone slabs (measuring 600x300 mm) made entirely of natural material. Silmu is clad with stone slabs the size of each side of the fireplace with the only breaks being for the doors. Therefore, the only joints in the slabs are at the corners of the fireplace. Kaarna, which can be used to cook food slowly, has a baking oven with a Kermansavi tile surface that has been fired at a very high temperature. This ensures that the oven is easy to keep clean and has a light and airy look. The baking oven is always ready to use when there is a fire burning in the fireplace. Silmu and Kaarna fireplaces come in chocolate brown, linen white and carbon grey.

Prize-winning Nuoska sauna heater now available in matte blackThis year’s winner of the Fennia Prize, the Nuoska sauna heater, clad in matte white ceramic tiles, combines modern design with innovative electronics solutions. Tulikivi will introduce the new matte black version of the Nuoska sauna heater at the Habitare fair. The prize-winning white version will also be on display to visitors. The Nuoska heater design gives an appealing, spa‐like feel to the sauna experience, and details like the sauna stones were also part of the design. The Nuoska design also takes into account the heater’s life cycle and environmental considerations, and this is evident in, for instance, the heater’s energy consumption and wear-and-tear minimising adjustment technology. Tulikivi’s woodburning stoves, Utu and Hile, will also be at Habitare. The Naava, Rae and Sumu electric sauna heaters, and Sumu E (in white), which can be integrated with the sauna benches, can also be found at the stand.

Satin granite, a new interior stone productThere will be a sample bathroom at the Habitare stand featuring the new Nero Assoluto satin granite bathroom surface, which has a flamed and brushed satin surface. The new matte polished Azul Light limestone for walls and tiles and Bianco Carrara marble, for example, will also be displayed at the stand.
