RAIS Stoves

RAIS Rondo with wood storage & baking shelf

rais_logo

RAIS wood-burning stoves combine superior energy efficiency–heating small to large spaces with a minimum of wood–with stunning Danish design. Sleek, simple lines allow the fire to be the focal point while burning, yet the stove is a sculptural accent for any room.

All RAIS wood stoves qualify for up to a $1500 tax credit!

RAIS stoves are made of high quality steel with cool handles, specially shaped fire windows for optimal view of the fire.  Many models have options such as soapstone tops or blocks to radiate heat, swiveling bases so the fire can be seen from any place in the room, and built-in firewood storage and baking shelves.  These stoves are like none other.

co2_flow2As a company committed to green building and living, we always research the products we carry to ensure that they meet our standards.  RAIS stoves are extremely efficient and low-emitting, heating with less wood than many other wood stoves available.  RAIS is a carbon-neutral heating source–all the CO2 released in burning would be released when a tree is left to rot in the woods.  When used responsibly, wood is a renewable heat source.  We promote the use of efficient wood stoves in the Silver City area as an alternative to burning fossil fuels.  RAIS stoves are approved for use in LEED buildings.

View a few models below, and visit www.rais.com for a full online catalog.  One gas model is available. Please contact us for pricing and availability.

rais_pina_in_a_setting RAIS Pina:  Available in black or grey, this contemporary design will add a unique feature to any room.  Can be installed near a wall or anywhere in the room.  Optional 360 degree turntable allows the fire to be seen around the room.  Can heat up to 860 square feet.
rais_topas_in_a_setting RAIS Topas:  This beautiful cubist-inspired stove combines practicality with performance. Heating up to 1000 square feet and providing built-in firewood storage space, this stove makes wood heat easy.  Like all RAIS stoves, its efficiency is unequaled, and of course its gorgeous Scandinavian design makes it a treasured addition to your home.  Available in grey or black.
rais_bando_in_a_setting RAIS Bando:  A combination of a steel firebox and soapstone exterior, this stove will exceed your heating expectations.  Soapstone retains heat and radiates it in the room long after the fire has died.  You’ll use even less wood in this stove than in other steel stoves, since the soapstone does much of the work.  Soapstone’s natural variation and texture gives it a classic, warm feel.  The baking shelf and firewood storage are a perfect balance of form & function.  Options available.
