Masonry Heater Staircases

Staircases and masonry heaters both provide essential functions yet take up substantial floorspace.  Placing a heater near a stair case requires respecting proper clearances to combustibles and can sometimes lead to tricky finish details or awkward spaces.  Why not combine these two important functions into one!?  Here are some ideas….

    Wow Theo! Very inspriring! Great examples of masonry heater staircases that address many important functions of a home including acting as pseudo room dividers in an open floor plan.

    Can’t wait to see pictures of these heaters in their finished spaces!
    Any process photos are also deeply appreciated.

    I would say from what I have been seeing that you are one of the most productive and inspiring masonry heater builders currently working. Congrats!
