Fireplaces handcrafted to create a naturally radiant environment Whether basking in the sun or relaxing in front of your Tulikivi fireplace, you re going to feel warmth soaking into your body. Radiant heat is recognized as one of the most efficient, healthiest and green ways to heat your home. Every fireplace is masterfully engineered for maximum heat efficiency, utilizing a system of internal channels to direct heat to the natural heat-retaining soapstone. A Tulikivi fireplace burns wood quickly and completely extracting virtually all of the available energy. The resulting emissions are at a fraction of the world s strictest requirements resulting in greatly reduced carbon monoxide emissions. Tulikivi fireplaces are aesthetically designed with models to fit into any architectural setting. With custom design options the possible design choices are endless. A family owned company since 1979, Tulikivi revives the centuries old Scandinavian heritage of carving and chiseling soapstone fireplaces, while leading the field in incorporating the latest technical information. With over 500 employees, including stone masons and technical engineers, Tulikivi is the largest manufacturer in the field. When you purchase your Tulikivi, you will soon know the tough and resilient nature of natural soapstone and how it will stand up to the test of time while continuing to retain its original appeal.

7 Experience Quality from Beginning to...never Ending The Tulikivi experience began over two and a half billion years ago in the Karelian mountain range of eastern Finland. There a rare creation was born, miles beneath the earth s surface, under immense pressure and heat soapstone. These soapstone deposits are considered some of the world s best in terms of quality and quantity. In Finland s arctic climate, fine artisans and engineers have for generations perfected the art of heating with fire and stone. The functionality and efficiency of a Tulikivi fireplace is unique in the North American market. The Tulikivi factory in Finland utilizes a state-ofthe-art laser and electronically controlled system to cut and finish each slab of soapstone. Each stone is tailor-made and grain-specific to make a strong, efficient and longlasting fireplace or cookstove. To assure quality, Tulikivi has obtained both an ISO 9001 and UL listing. Not only do our fireplaces meet the strictest emissions and safety tests in North America we also have also surpassed these tests worldwide. K. L. M.

8 P. N. O. Q. Soapstone Tiles and Flooring. Soapstone tiles No matter what style you choose, soapstone tile is a beautiful complement to any room. Soapstone has been used in homes for hundreds of years for its natural beauty and durability. Naturally resilient, soapstone will not burn, is stain resistant, and requires little maintenance. As a flooring, soapstone is noiseless and soft to the touch. It is the perfect choice when used in a kitchen or bathroom where moisture may collect on the surface, because soapstone is water repellent and it is not slippery when wet. Soapstone can be lathed, cut or polished. Its surface can be shaped, routed, cut, sandblasted or milled either by machine or with hand tools. This offers the interior designer, craftsman and architect an unlimited variety of creative options for personalizing and customizing flooring and tile facades. For more information on any Tulikivi soapstone product, contact one of our handpicked and knowledgeable North American distributors.

9 Soapstone is a dense, heat-resistant and solid material. Soapstone also has better heat retaining and thermal conductivity properties than other stones. Tulikivi produces the most extensive collection of heat-retaining fireplaces on the market, including new fireplaces with clean, geometric lines from Finland s top designers. The collection is complemented by our custom-made fireplaces. Soft, radiant heat is emitted for up to 20 hours, heating the room with warm air that is comfortable to be in. Tall, wide glass doors create a warm ambience. Air flows over the inside of the glass, keeping it clear. The doors open and close easily and silently. Thanks to the contra-flow principle and the firebox solutions developed by Tulikivi, the energy contained in the wood is released efficiently throughout every heating. Therefore, a Tulikivi fireplace also burns clean and its emissions comply with the world s strictest norms. Tulikivi s fireplaces have ash boxes with lids, making ash removal convenient and clean ash won t blow everywhere. Modern production technology, skilled stoneworkers who take pride in their work, and dozens of years of experience in manufacturing fireplaces. ISO 9001 quality certificate. Five-year warranty. Tulikivi fireplaces are delivered to your home completely ready for use: all you need to do is light the match. Installation is carried out by an authorized Tulikivi installer who has the accuracy and precision of a watchmaker.

10 Friendly to the planet and your environment. With the world focusing on the effects of carbon emissions, it is no wonder that so many people are turning more and more to low impact energy sources. In the area of wood burning, Tulikivi has engineered the most energy efficient and environmentally friendly wood burning fireplaces in the world. Because there is little difference in carbon dioxide output when wood decomposes naturally and when wood is burned cleanly, burning wood is considered carbon neutral. At Tulikivi, we believe in outpacing current emissions standards, thereby exceeding even the strictest regulations in the world. This is a result of decades of engineering designed into every Tulikivi fireplace. Finnish soapstone seems to be made for these fireplaces, with its massive thermal conductivity and high specific gravity. Once heated, soapstone radiates heat slowly and efficiently for many hours longer than any other natural material. The heat is not only long lasting, but also extremely soothing and healthy for your body. Combine this with Tulikivi s masterful engineering, soapstone fireplaces are transformed into the most efficient fireplaces known to man. The firebox is the heart of the fireplace, affecting the entire function of heating and emissions control. There are two choices in firebox design. The flat grate design burns wood easily and cleanly at high temperatures, keeping emissions low. The newly patented whirl chamber lengthens the time combustion gases remain in the fire chamber thereby creating even cleaner emissions. Heat is then directed over every soapstone surface within the fireplace, taking advantage of soapstone s unique heat-retaining properties. With the heat output lasting longer, less fuel is consumed. Because of greater efficiency in the fuel burning processes, fewer emissions are released. Sit back and let your Tulikivi warm your spirit and home while you rest easy knowing you are doing your part to heat your home in an earth friendly manner.

11 Trouble-free Installation Replacing your old fireplace with a new, energy-efficient Tulikivi fireplace is easy. All the work will be done by your authorized Tulikivi distributors or dealers. This will ensure that the job is done quickly and reliably, and that the end result is to your liking. We recommend that you call and consult with a Tulikivi professional during the planning phases of your fireplace project. Environmentally responsible radiant wood heat Ecologists generally agree that wood is carbon neutral. While burning wood releases a significant amount of carbon dioxide a greenhouse gas also released by fossil fuels the gas is reabsorbed by growing trees and turned into carbon, which accounts for half the weight of wood. Whether a tree burns in your Tulikivi or decomposes in the forest, it will release the same amount of carbon into the environment in the form of CO2, methane and other gases. Hypothetically, this cycle can be repeated indefinitely. Fossil fuel can make no such claim. In the U.S., the EPA has concluded that if more fossil fuels were supplemented by biomass fuels, control of the greenhouse effect could then be achieved. The Natural CO2 Loop - trees absorb carbon dioxide from the atmosphere. In the decomposition process in the forest or on combustion in Tulikivi ovens it is returned to the air.
