German Engineering
HARK has designed and manufactured fireplaces in Germany for over 50 years, from its headquarters in Duisburg-Rheinhausen. Every product is the result of decades of engineering research, precision manufacturing and strict quality control, built in Germany on more than 25,000 m² of production and storage space.
Premium Design
HARK fireplaces are designed to be the centrepiece of any room. Their hand-crafted ceramic tiles are produced in HARK's own tile manufactory in Wiesau, Bavaria, from natural regional materials and with up to 30 production steps per tile, available in many colours. Award-winning aesthetics and premium materials make every installation as beautiful as it is functional.
EcoPlus Technology
HARK ECOplus, developed together with the Fraunhofer Institutes, is HARK's clean-burn system: an open-pore ceramic fine-dust filter, a shaped cast trough and a special-ceramic firebox lining with optimised air routing. It cuts fine-dust emissions to well below the German BImSchV legal limits and burns up to around 40% less wood than HARK stoves without ECOplus, while delivering high efficiency and strong radiant heat. German chimney sweeps regularly recommend it.
Warranty & Reliability
All HARK fireplaces sold through SCECO d.o.o. come with a 5-year limited warranty. With more than one million fireplaces sold and over 60 fireplace studios in Germany, including the country's largest fireplace showroom in Duisburg, HARK's track record means you are investing in a fireplace built to last decades, not seasons.
“HARK fireplaces sold in the regional market are the same German-made, German-certified products sold across Western Europe, backed by more than 50 years of engineering heritage and a 5-year warranty.”
