Description
The Kratki – K8 Freestanding Cast Iron Fireplace is a favourite choice amongst our clients who are looking for a unique, oval fireplace which suits both modern and traditional interior spaces.
This solid fireplace comes with double-layer cast iron for extra strength and extended lifespan. 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.
We suggest you use the Fire Heart Polish for the preservation and restoration of cast iron and steel of your Kratki – K8 Freestanding Cast Iron Fireplace. It can be used on stoves, chimneys, grates, fireplaces, fire backs, etc.
When cleaning your fireplace glass we recommend you use the Kratki glass cleaning spray.
