Ondol heating



Although most Koreans no longer wear hanbok, traditional garments, or live in hanok, traditional houses, they have retained one feature of traditional life: the floor heating system known as ondol, which literally means “warm stone.”

Ondol transmits the smoke generated by a furnace through an underfloor system placed throughout the house.
