Lotus Surfaces

The difference in finish, texture and colour is what makes a Lotus wood stove unique. Whether you choose steel, glass, or stone with heat storage option depends on your wishes for design and function. Each of the different materials creates a personal and unique piece of furniture.

Steel

The steel used in a Lotus wood-burning stove is cold rolled quality steel. Before the stove is painted, it is “bombarded” with small steel balls. This ensures that the steel is completely clean before being painted. The paint used is a special heat-resistant paint that is able to expand together with the stove.

Soapstone

Soapstone is a mineral that occurs in countries such as Finland, Norway, India, and Brazil. A distinctive feature of this material is the soft, “living” surface. Soapstone is often used in heat storage stoves or as side cladding on traditional wood-burning stoves, as it possesses a fabulous ability to store heat. Like no other material, it is able to store the heat for several hours and release it gradually after the fire has gone out. Soapstone is a natural material, and because of the natural variation in the stone’s structure and surface, you get your own personal and quite unique stove when you buy a Lotus stove with soapstone.

Sandstone

Sandstone is a sedimentary rock formed over millions of years; the fine-grained and varying structure has arisen by currents and displacements in the earth’s crust, and therefore the structure of the stones can vary a lot. In some cases, it may resemble the veins in wood, and in other cases the veins form completely random patterns and play of colours. It comes in many different light shades and textures created by wind and weather. Sandstone is used both for heat storage stoves and as a decorative side cladding on traditional stoves. Sandstone is a natural material, and because of the natural variation in the stone’s structure and surface the stones may deviate from photos of the product. This is what makes each stone and each stove unique.

Limestone

Limestone is an off-white stone, which is naturally built on prehistoric seabed, consisting of a mixture of sand, corals, and 10% chalk. This provides a beautiful stone with a play of shades of grey. Each stone is unique by nature. The variation in structure and surface ensures you a completely unique wood-burning stove and thus a unique piece of furniture.

Indian Night

As the name suggests, Indian Night stones originate from India. The stone is darker and more structured than the traditional soapstone. This provides a surface that is extremely resistant and easy to maintain. It is not only the beautiful glow that is characteristic of this material - the ability to store heat and distribute it slowly is also exceptional due to its high density. This makes Indian Night a beautiful and highly effective material for heat storage.

Indian Night is a natural material, and because of the natural variation in the stone’s structure and surface, each stone and each wood-burning stove has its own unique expression.

Coffee Stone

Coffee Stone, like sandstone, is a several million years old sedimentary type of rock, whose fine-grained and varying structure has been created through currents and displacements in the earth’s crust.

In some cases, the structure may resemble the veins in wood, and in other cases the veins form completely random patterns and play of colours. It is available in various reddish and brownish shades; hence the name Coffee Stone.

Coffee Stone is a natural material, and because of the natural variation in the stone’s structure and surface, each stone and each wood-burning stove has its own unique expression.

Magic Glass

Lotus stoves with “Magic Glass” are outstanding in the field of ceramic glass. “Magic” is the term for the specially developed glass used in our doors for stoves of distinctly modern designs.

The development of the glass is the result of years of close collaboration between Lotus and our subcontractor. The process of producing Magic Glass is extremely time-consuming, and therefore it is only possible to produce a few units a day. Unlike many other manufacturers, we always use double glazing in our “Magic” doors. This means that the heat radiation from the glass is lower and that the temperature in the combustion chamber is increased. This is a part of the Lotus Clean-Burn-Technology, and the result is a completely unique product.

Inserts

In addition to the many freestanding woodburning stoves, Lotus offers a wide range of fireplace inserts for every taste and with several customization options.

Our inserts are available in many different sizes, heights, and widths as well as with glass on the sides for a better view of the fire. If you want a room divider, our so-called “tunnel stove” is the perfect choice. The possibilities are endless.

All our inserts are also available with the elegant Magic glass, just as we offer a large selection of custom-made frames and adjustable bases to create the perfect installation, either in an existing fireplace or for new constructions. In other words, we guarantee that you will be able to find a Lotus insert that suits your taste, your home, and your needs.

Read more about the large selection of Lotus fireplace inserts in our special insert catalogue or at www.lotusstoves.com.

The catalogue which you are holding in your hands is also an environment-friendly publication. Printed on FSC®-certified paper.
