PR ARTICLE 1 (1) 17.2.2016 Fireplaces and interior decoration stones from Tulikivi Stone brings life and durability to your home Durable and beautiful stone is ideally suited for interior decoration. Natural materials give your home a comfortable feel and an individual look. Whether it’s a question of interior decoration or choosing a fireplace, it’s worth getting acquainted with stone. Thanks to its outstanding characteristics, such as durability and beauty, the use of natural stone for interior decoration and in gardens is increasing. Stone is a long-lasting and environmentally-friendly material – it is a part of nature after all. Stone is also well-placed as a material for fireplaces. Soapstone fireplaces utilize modern technology and are cleanburning, which also makes them ecological sources of heat. The Tulikivi Group boasts an extensive collection of fireplaces that can meet its customer demands, whatever they may be – modern design, a tiled surface, a lightweight fireplace for a holiday home or a traditional heat-retaining fireplace. One notable feature of stone is its versatility. Stone can be shaped into many forms, and its forms and uses depend on the type of stone. As Finnish soapstone does not ring or echo, and is not slippery when wet, it is especially suitable for tiling moist areas. Marble or limestone will bring a continental style to your interior decoration. Each type of stone also comes in a wide range of surface textures and colours. The variety of surface treatments available can be used to bring out different sides of the same stone. The Tulikivi Group is one of the world’s leading processors of stone. Many will recognize the company for its premium-quality soapstone fireplaces. In Finland, Tulikivi also focuses on selling interior decoration stones to consumers. Whether you’re looking for kitchen countertops, bathroom surfaces, a drystone wall for the garden, tiling for your home interiors or even for a terrace, it’s worth turning to Tulikivi’s experts. With their help, you’ll find the type of stone whose characteristics meet all your aesthetic and practical requirements. And don’t forget our beautiful stone mosaic tiles, which are easy to mount and are even available in circular forms. The trend for natural stone is growing ever stronger Tulikivi’s collection of fireplaces contains plenty of options, even for the most demanding of customers. The Linea Alternativa range, for example, contains partially heat-retaining fireplaces with a modern design that are popular heaters for holiday homes. The Salla model combines the light weight of a stove with the pleasant radiant heat of soapstone. The Zevio and Kiisa, whose clean, geometric lines were designed by Ristomatti Rattia, not only heat your home but also form a fabulous part of its interior decor. The Hetta model’s rough finish is reminiscent of the rugged surface of a cliff face. The appreciation of natural materials is growing. When decorating their homes, people want ecological materials with long life-cycles. And stone is an easy way to give your home that individual look. Consumers are focusing on quality, top-level design and comfort – and stone meets all these challenges. In the future, natural stone will be seen as part of the interior decor of increasingly more homes.
