Tiled stoves
A living Swedish tradition!
Skene has been known for its fine clay, from the bottom of the
Viskan river, since the 1700s. The mud was very clean and was ideal
for manufacturing ceramics. The conditions meant that the district
around Skene became a centre for the manufacture of pottery goods,
bricks & tiles. The body of the tiled stoves and the smoke
ducts were built from brick and a mortar of clay and sand was
used.
There were at least six tiled stove makers in Skene, one of
which, Anjougarden, was in operation up until the 1950s.
At the ends of the 1950s the demand for tiled stoves died out, and
the residences were fitted with electric or oil fired
heating.
Today, tiled stoves are more popular than ever and for many are
the obvious choice for heating. Our modern tiled stoves are as
attractive and solid as the previous models. We have successfully
preserved the traditional design,
at the same time adapting our design to modern day living
conditions and have further developed the combustion
technology.
A beautiful tiled stove from Svenska Kakelugnar can bring much
more to your home than perhaps any other item of furniture or
furnishing detail. It is an impressive eye-catching feature,
providing a warm and cosy atmosphere. Our designs are inspired by
the most popular models of classic tiled stoves, so-called pipe
stoves from various eras.
The original feel has been preserved in the beautiful handmade
tiles and the little details. You can choose from tiled upright
stoves with a traditional small hatch or with a modern panorama
opening, giving a richer experience of the living flames.
Our tiled stoves are manufactured according to Cronstedt and
Wrede's classic principles, but we have adapted the design to
today's living environments, further developed the combustion
technology and improved the robustness.
To reduce the total cost to the consumer, we have also streamlined
the manufacturing process and simplified installation on site. But
we have not compromised in any way on the level of quality. Sound
material choices and tried-and-tested solutions guarantee reliable
firing for many decades to come.
