Description
The Kratki – K6 Freestanding Cast Iron Fireplace has been a popular choice across South Africa. Kratki manufactures the closed-combustion, burning fireplace with extremely durable Class 200 cast iron. It is one of the best materials for heat retention. These Cast iron fireplaces are strong and durable. Cast iron retains heat and will continue to radiate heat even after the fire has gone out.
Double layer cast iron
Nearly all of the Kratki cast iron freestanding fireplaces are built with a double layer of durable cast iron, including the K6, K8, K8T and K9 models.
There is an outer layer of cast iron and a second, internal layer consisting of cast-iron panels.
The advantage of double-layer cast iron is that, if in the lifespan of the product, there is any damage caused by the intense heat, then only an internal panel needs to be replaced as opposed to replacing the entire fireplace.
The K6 is an excellent option for those looking for a traditional style fireplace. It heats a good-sized, open-plan living space.
We suggest you use the Fire Heart Polish for the preservation and restoration of cast iron and steel of your KratkiK6 Freestanding Cast Iron Fireplace (stoves, chimneys, grates, fireplaces, fire backs, etc.)
When cleaning your fireplace glass we recommend you use the Kratki glass cleaning spray.
