Description
Small on the outside and strong on the inside, the Kratki K5/S packs 9kW of heat into a stove just 63.6 cm tall. The straight lines and plain front suit modern homes, flats with a flue and any lounge where you want the fire, not the stove, to be the feature.
Kratki K5/S Steel Fireplace Features
Accumote lined firebox
The combustion chamber and baffle are lined with Accumote, a refractory material that adds strength and throws heat and light back into the room. The result is a bright, lively fire and better use of every log.
Cast iron grate, steel body
A cast iron grate sits inside a steel stove with a steel inner lining. The grate lets air reach the base of the fire for a good, steady burn.
Compact and practical
The K5/S measures 45.2 x 40 x 63.6 cm, weighs 110 kg and connects to a 150 mm flue. Its low height suits spots under a window or a shallow chimney breast.
Is the K5/S right for your home?
Our specs rate this 9kW wood fireplace to heat a volume of 140 to 225 m³, which roughly matches a medium to large lounge with a normal ceiling height. Big windows or high ceilings use more heat, so ask us to check your room. Compare it with other freestanding fireplaces, and read our Kratki fireplace buyers guide to see how the models differ.
Installation in Cape Town

Kratki K5 FAQs
How much room does the Kratki K5/S heat?
It is rated for 140 to 225 cubic metres. In most homes that is a lounge of around 55 to 90 m², depending on ceiling height, insulation and how much glass the room has.
What does the S in K5/S mean?
Kratki uses letters to mark different versions of the K5. We can confirm the exact details of your unit when you order, and help you compare it with the other K5 options.
