French quality and sophistication! Supra fireplace stoves will decorate and warm any home

Supra – French manufacturing company stoves, fireplaces and individual fireboxes. There are since 1878 and is located in the province of Alsace, where winters are quite cold.

The company is engaged in its own developments, and therefore the products are distinguished by quality and innovation in production.

Supra Fireplace Stove Models

There are many varieties of these ovens. But the most popular brands are Tomera and Ulysse.

Tomera or Tomera

The stove is made of high quality cast iron (EN GJL 200) and is painted with black heat-resistant paint. During the first firing, polymerization occurs, and such a coating lasts for quite a long time.

The stove has a vertical orientation. Its height is 1220 mm, depth - 450 mm, and the width is 510 mm. The weight, like all cast iron stoves, is quite large, 161 kg. But it does not require a separate foundation.

The casing is convection, with a gap between the outer and inner walls. Due to this, the case does not heat up very much, therefore this model can be placed against a wall.

The door is single-leaf with a glass insert, which allows you to observe the combustion process. The glass is also located vertically, its height is about a meter, the review is quite good. Equipped with an oblong-shaped lock handle. There is an air cleaning system "clean glass"The stove works better when using dry firewood.

Furnace power – 14 kW, it is designed to heat a room with a volume of about 300 cubic meters. This indicator may vary. If there is insufficient insulation, it is suitable for smaller rooms, from 150 cubic meters. And with ideal insulation, if heat loss is reduced to a minimum, it will heat up to 500–550 cubic meters.

Heated with wood, the required size is up to 500 mm. This is quite convenient, as they do not require additional sawing in length. The ash pan is removable, so it is quite convenient to clean.

The chimney outlet is rear or top. Pipe size – 150 mm, the height should be not less than 5 meters, since the structure is quite large.

Ulysses

This is also a cast iron stove, which, thanks to the glass doors, is also used as a fireplace. But there are certain differences between the models.

Ulysse by Supra has a different coatingThe surface of the walls resembles fish scales, and they are painted with black enamel.

The stove is also vertical, but the dimensions are different. The height is only 1160 mm, depth and width - by 480 mm. At the same time, the model is somewhat heavier, its weight is 174 kgThis is due to design features, including the smaller size of the glass in the door.

Fireplace power – 10 kW. This is enough to heat approximately 300 cubic meters premises. There is no secondary combustion chamber in the stove itself. Therefore, the heat will not be retained for as long as in the Tomera model. Efficiency - 74%.

The stove is heated with wood. Their maximum size is 500 mm when positioned vertically and 300 mm - when horizontal.

The similarities between these models include a convection casing, which allows for wall-mounted placement. The same size of the chimney pipe – 150 mm And not less than 5 meters in height.

Recommendations for choosing Supra stoves

Both of these models are suitable for heating rooms with a volume of up to 300 cubic meters (and even more with good insulation of walls, floors and roofs). But there are also discrepancies.

The most important thing is presence or absence of a long-term combustion system. Therefore, if a fireplace stove is chosen as the main heating device for the home, it is better to choose Supra Tomera. If long continuous burning without loading firewood is not required, the Ulysse model will do.

Pros and cons of devices

Products of this company are distinguished by their strength and durability. They have a pretty thoughtful design.

Thanks to the vertical orientation and the ability to install against a wall, the stoves will not take up too much space. Since the doors are glass, the models are also used as fireplaces.

But, like all cast iron stoves, they quite fragile. Care should be taken during transportation and installation.
