Wood Burning Stoves

Wood burning stoves have become increasingly popular from traditional stoves in country cottages, to modern architecture. Solid fuel stoves can bring warmth and a cosy ambience into your room. With many different options to choose from including wood burning and multi fuel options, solid fuel stoves are efficient, clean burning and have a range of styles and sizes to suit most living areas. Stoves can create a homely feel, and become a striking feature that can complete a room.

Why buy a stove?

Wood burning stoves are energy efficient and can run at over 80 percent efficiency. The stoves also have additional benefits and allow you to boil a kettle, or in some models even bake a cake at the same time as heating your home. Stoves are potentially carbon neutral as the CO2 emissions are equal to the amount that was absorbed when the wood was growing. There is no increase in carbon emissions if a new tree is planted for each one burned.

Traditional style wood burners are being created by a great number of manufacturers, which look great in period properties. However in modern homes the freestanding stoves with big glass windows definitely add style to your home and make a statement.

Choosing a Stove

It is vital to choose a stove that has the required heat output for the room it is to be installed in. You will also need to think about the size of the stove in relation where it will be placed in the room. It is important that you decide what fuel you will be burning when buying a stove. Wood and solid fuel burn differently; wood burns well on a bed of ash with air circulating above, while solid fuel does not burn unless there is air circulating below. Stoves are defined as wood burning only or multi fuel which is suited to solid fuel but also allows you to burn wood. Whatever style you choose, whether it's traditional or contemporary a stove brings warmth and provides character to your home.
