Since the inception of our company the OLYMP has remained the flagship, best-selling model of our line.
Over the years we have produced a myriad of diverse variations on this model, but the foundation remains the classic conservative shape and appearance of the stove.
The firebox, and hence the entire stove is oriented vertically, which is further emphasized by the tile top box above the upper cornice of the stove. This gives the OLYMP unusual esthetic appeal, while the greater tile area provides even greater radiant heat and the top box can hide the stove pipe entering the chimney. The most common variant is an OLYMP on a base with rounded legs, five rows of tile and the top box. The most popular colors remain green, brown and a light and dark combination. However, we also offer many different specific variations. The stove can stand on square legs or sit directly on the base, and rows of tiles can be added to both the stove itself or the top box placed above the upper cornice. You can choose the colors and tile designs you like from our catalog and there is truly a wide range of possible combinations. When selecting a stove, you will want to consider installing an external air intake directly to the stove and whether you want the flue pipe to run from the back or the top of the stove to the chimney.

All variants of the OLYMP use an E1 stove liner with regulated heat output of 5–11 kW. With high ceilings of 2.5 m this means suitable heating for approximately 100 m² of floor space – i.e. most homes and also larger social spaces, restaurants, clubhouses, guesthouses, etc. Of course, if the space is divided into several closed rooms, you will want to consider a stove with a water heat exchanger.
In models with a heat exchanger, 8 kW out of a total of 11 kW goes to heat water in the hot water heating system that can easily heat separate, distant rooms. The 3 kW radiated into the space where the stove is located will heat roughly 60 m³ (approx. 24 m² with a ceiling height of 2.5m). Using and connecting a stove with a water heat exchanger provides greater comfort and long-term savings on heating costs. However, the investment in installation is higher and the installation itself is technically more demanding. This makes more sense for permanent residences than weekend cottages etc. Circulation pumps require electricity, and possibly a back-up power source in the event of power outages, or water intake and outlet using a cooling loop. It is possible (but again more expensive) to send heated water to an accumulation tank instead of directly to the heating system. This is a very efficient use of the heat produced by the stove that provides hot water for utility use.
As with other stoves, the recommended fuel is dry hardwood or quality wood briquettes. Wood should not have a moisture content greater than 20%, which corresponds to roughly 2 years of storage.
All regular and hot water stoves require professional installation and connection while complying with all regulations and fire safety standards, including placement of the stove at a distance of at least 20 cm from walls (and twice that distance from combustible materials), placing the stove on a fireproof base (extending at least 300 mm in front of the door and ashpan and 100 mm in other directions), etc. and having a properly sized chimney with a flue pipe at least 150 mm in diameter with effective height of at least 5 meters. The connection of the stove to a hot water system is performed by a professional heating company. The cost of these services is not included in the price, but all arrangements can be made when buying the stove.
