Soapstone Masonry Heaters Offer Efficient Heating
Soapstone masonry heaters are beautiful, but also provide efficient heating technology not found in standard woodstoves. Unlike traditional fireplaces, which emit blistering, short-lived convection heat in close proximity, soapstone stores and releases heat slowly. The heat released feels like the warmth of afternoon light in a sunroom. Contact us to discover if a masonry heater is right for you, or explore our other options for soapstone fireplaces and mantels, including custom-designed options hand-carved by experts.
