There are places – in a house, in a landscape – that we perceive as special spots. These are places where we love to settle down and recharge our life energy. The tiled stove creates such a special place with its comforting warmth. The ceramic of your tiled stove stores the heat and releases it continuously over many hours as gentle, ceramic radiant heat, creating a uniquely cozy feeling. A true treasure has been unearthed at the Sommerhuber tiled stove museum in Steyr – the tile Tapetenmuster, first made in the Renaissance era around 1570 in Steyr. At the time, hunting castles and country houses were fitted out with "Tapetenmuster" tiles. The current designs combine up-to-date technology with traditional handicrafts – such as the integrated heating bench – and the tradition of tile making to create a surprisingly contemporary tiled stove.
