Materials make a difference

Cast iron is an ideal material for the manufacture of wood heating products due to its durability, excellent heat conduction, and the possibilities it offers in design and surface finish.

Durability

Cast iron can withstand high temperatures and the cycle of heating and cooling associated with burning wood. A cast iron stove will provide decades of use.

Radiant Heat

Cast iron products emit pleasant, even, radiant heat. Cast iron has greater thermal inertia and therefore cools more slowly than steel, allowing you to continue to receive heat as the fire dies down.

Design and Finish

The process of casting iron allows for unique shapes and intricate details that give cast-iron products a unique authentic style. Cast iron may also be finished in vitreous porcelain enamel. This enamel protects and preserves the iron and is offered in a variety of brilliant colors that will shine for the life of the product.
