Tiled stove construction is an intangible cultural heritage – a craft with a future

Tiled stove construction is more than just a way to heat your home – it’s part of our cultural identity and has been deeply rooted in craftsmanship for centuries. It’s no coincidence that UNESCO has included the traditional art of tiled stove building in its Register of Intangible Cultural Heritage. This recognition confirms what stove builders and wood fire enthusiasts have known all along: a tiled stove is more than a source of heat – it’s a piece of living history that brings warmth and atmosphere into any home.

Tradition meets innovation

The inclusion of tiled stove construction in the list of Intangible Cultural Heritage shows that this craft is a valuable tradition, passed down through generations. At the same time, it highlights that tiled stoves will continue to play an important role in the modern world.

The craftsmanship behind every stove is of immense value – and it continues to evolve to meet today’s standards for environmental protection and energy efficiency.

Modern wood-burning stoves from BRUNNER are living proof that tradition and innovation can go hand in hand. Our tiled stoves and fireplaces not only create a unique sense of comfort but also meet the highest environmental standards.

Thanks to advanced combustion technology, they are exceptionally efficient and eco-friendly. They help reduce emissions and ensure that heating with wood remains an appealing option for the future.

A  stove is more than just warmth

A tiled stove is not simply a heater – it’s the heart of the home. When the fire crackles inside on a winter evening, it creates a sense of comfort that’s unlike anything else. The warmth of a wood-burning stove is something you feel – deep and soothing. No other heating system can create such a cozy and relaxing atmosphere.

A tiled stove also connects generations. Fire is a ritual that brings people together – from collecting the wood and lighting the fire to gathering around the stove and enjoying its gentle warmth.

Future-proof through sustainable technology

Despite ongoing political discussions about heating methods and environmental regulations, we at BRUNNER can say with confidence: the wood-burning stove has a future!

Modern tiled stoves and fireplaces are continuously being refined to meet the strictest environmental standards. With the right innovations, wood will remain a sustainable source of heat for many years to come.

A prime example of this forward-looking development is the new BRUNNER BKH green fireplace series. Thanks to specially optimized combustion technology, dust and CO emissions are reduced to an absolute minimum – far below legal limits.

In addition, BKH fireplaces use wood with exceptional efficiency. This means less wood consumption and a steady, long-lasting release of warmth.

Conclusion

A wood-burning stove – an investment in the future

Let yourself be inspired by tradition and innovation, and enjoy the benefits of a tiled stove – for decades to come. Because one thing is certain: the fire will keep on burning.
