Description
Tall, round and wrapped in curved glass, the Kratki Antares looks more like a piece of sculpture than a round wood stove. It is a steel freestanding fireplace that stands 150.1 cm high, with a large curved door that shows the fire from across the room and 12kW of output for big living spaces.
Kratki Antares Freestanding Fireplace Features
Curved glass door
The rounded body and curved glass give a wide, wraparound view of the fire. Heat resistant glass and an air wash system help keep soot off, so the view stays clear between cleans.
Three stages of combustion
Primary, secondary and tertiary air, all with control, let you run the fire hot and bright or slow and steady. More complete burning means more heat from each log and less smoke out of the flue. Kratki rates it at 81 percent efficiency.
Accumote lined firebox
Inside, the roomy steel firebox has an Accumote lining, which adds strength, reflects heat and flame light, and helps the fire burn well. Shorter logs load easily through the door.
Easy cleaning and outside air
A removable ash box and grate make clean-up quick. Below the firebox, a push-to-open compartment hides an optional external air intake for well-sealed homes. The 150 mm flue can exit from the top or the rear.
Is the Antares fireplace right for your home?
Kratki rates the Antares to heat about 125 m2, which suits a large lounge, an open-plan living area or a double-volume room. At 186 kg it also needs a solid floor. Compare it with our other freestanding fireplaces or read our Kratki buyer’s guide.

Kratki Antares FAQs
Where is the Kratki Antares made?
It is imported from Poland, where Kratki designs its fireplaces for strength and cold winters. It comes with a limited guarantee from the maker.
Can the Antares vent through a wall?
Yes. Along with a top exit, it offers a rear flue exit, which can suit a route through an outside wall. We check your roof and walls on site to pick the best option.
