The KIP in graphite black — built-in timer and thermostat, so no separate wall control is needed.
The Harvia KIP with built-in controls carries its timer and thermostat on the heater itself, so there is no separate wall control to wire or find space for. A dual-wall construction keeps the exterior cool to the touch, and the stones sit directly on the elements for fast, generous steam. This is the graphite black finish of the heater we have sold in stainless for years.

Stones
Sold separately. This heater requires 44 lb (20 kg) of 5-10 cm split-face stones — 1 box of AC3000. Fill the stone compartment loosely but completely; a sparsely filled compartment exposes the elements and is a fire hazard.
