The compact system solution with a small footprint – perfect for limited spaces
A big fire experience in a small space: the compact storage stove KSO is a masonry heater designed for minimal floor area. Precisely fitting components enable quick and cost-effective installation of a compact storage stove that provides pleasant radiant heat for many hours. The slim column design, available with a round or square base, comes in either a ceramic casing or concrete look, but can also be realized with a handcrafted plastered finish.
The features
- 1. Cover
for cleaning
- 2. Flue gases
Connection to the chimney
- 3. Storage mass
The compact storage stove is a fully ceramic masonry heater with a flue gas-heated storage mass that retains heat for a long period of time (masonry heater effect). While the stove requires a longer heat-up phase, it then provides gentle, long-lasting warmth for many hours.
- 4. Combustion chamber
fully ceramic
- 5. Heat-storing concrete casing
The modern heat-storing concrete casing allows for quick installation of the stove while impressing with its minimalist design.
- 6. Combustion air
Air wash system
- 7. Combustion air
Primary air
- 8. Glass panel
The wood stove features relatively small glass panes due to its heat storage design.
- 9. Operating convenience
The combustion air can be adjusted either manually with a lever or automatically using the electronic combustion control system (EAS). The latter offers a particularly convenient solution – you only need to light the fire and add wood, and the EAS takes care of everything else automatically.
The
glass pane options
Compact storage stoves with flat glass panel
The compact storage stove with a flat glass panel is designed as a square stove, giving it the shape of a slender, square column. It is a true space-saving marvel among storage stoves.
Compact storage stoves with curved glass panel
Our compact storage stove with a curved glass panel is designed as a round stove, giving it the shape of a circular column that impresses with its calm yet powerful appearance.
Primarily for heat
Compact storage stoves are installed when the primary goal is to generate warmth that remains available for hours after the fire has gone out. They are pure storage stoves: the energy from the flue gases is absorbed in the fully ceramic combustion chamber and as it passes through the storage mass, then released gradually through the surface. In terms of heating characteristics, they are true “slow-response stoves.”
Functional principle of the compact storage stove – “slow-response stove”
Fully ceramic masonry heater with flue gas-heated storage mass
Compact storage stoves take longer to heat up but retain warmth for much longer. Ideally, they are fired daily throughout the heating season. This type of heating is well known from traditional masonry heaters – the original and oldest form of tiled stove.
Heat-storing concrete look
Modern stove casing
Raw, minimalist, modern, and aesthetic – this is how the casing of the compact storage stove presents itself. Cast and assembled with fine shadow joints, the precisely made heat-storing concrete elements convey a simple yet striking appearance. The concrete surface is intentionally imperfect.
Slight irregularities, edges, and pores give it a distinctive character, making the stove a true eye-catcher. However, if a different surface appearance is desired, the heat-storing concrete can be sealed, painted, or plastered. You can find more information about these options here.
FAQ Compact storage stoves
- Can the compact storage stove be customized?
In terms of shape, no – but the surface of the heat-storing concrete can be customized in both texture and color. This allows you to perfectly adapt your favorite stove to your living space if a concrete look is not desired.
- What is a compact storage stove?
A compact storage stove is a very slim masonry heater built in a modular design on a small footprint. This makes it ideal for smaller rooms without having to forego the benefits of a true masonry heater. Thanks to its modular construction, it can be installed quickly, making it a very cost-effective alternative.
