Thickened concrete footing
Foundation or structural floor support
Structural rework as necessary

Chimney Construction

Code-compliant floor protection

Tulikivi are generally the most “standard” heaters. They are shipped with all soapstone pre-cut and packaged in multiple crates. All we have to do is drive up with the crates, unpack them, and assemble the heater.

Custom heaters are more difficult. If it is a custom Tulikivi, Tulikivi Oyj has additional fees for cutting and shipping the extra soapstone pieces and designing the heater assembly. If it is a custom masonry heater (non-Tulikivi), it will probably be made from stone and brick, for us to design and assemble ourselves.
