HELO WOOD-BURNING HEATERS
Thank you for trusting our Helo product. We have manufactured wood-burning heaters longer than any other
company in the world – almost for a century. Over the decades we have learned a great deal of fire and handling
the delicate element. Lighting a fire is a skill everyone should know, and nurturing a fire is an art of its own. We
have two guidelines in the design and manufacturing of our products, following our past master craftsmen's lead:
there is nothing redundant in our products and we only use the best materials. Even though our products are
simplified and dependable, there's nothing simple in the solutions on the background, building on decades of
experience and modern technology.
HIGH-GRADE MATERIALS
We only use the best materials in our products, and only from our trusted long-term suppliers. We use Finnish
structural steel for its uniform quality – it's highly versatile and keeps its strength. In our fire doors, we use Ceram
special glass that can take 800°C, yet still lets through that lovely warm glow of live fire.
WE KNOW FIRE
Our products are heavy, which is a good sign of fire-resistant materials. It's not the thickness of the steel that does
it, but the way it's used. We must know how fire moves and where the heat goes. The hottest spot that has to
endure the greatest heat is not, as you might expect, right above the flames but where the heat is being
conducted. Fire also needs air to burn clean and provide heat economically.
SUPERIOR TECHNOLOGY
Fill the furnace, burn it up and our heaters are ready to keep warm long after the last little flame has gone out. This
unique feature is a result of our quality materials and other factors, such as Coanda air circulation system, large
and deep stone compartment and sturdy doors. You can read more about the above features, our other technical
innovations and our large range of installation accessories at www.helo.fi and our brochures.
