Stoves Types

Woodburners are the must have heating source. Cleaner to run than coal and using a renewable fuel, most of our friends on the continent use nothing but wood. With no grate these stoves have a larger firebox, for larger logs which give big flames and great heat.

Nothing beats the feeling of a real coal fire. With vast improvements in recent years multi-fuel fires are now far easier and cleaner to use than ever before. Able to burn a variety of fuels such as coal, wood and peat these stunning stoves won't let you down.

Probably the most convenient fuel source to use, for those people with busy lives or older people seeking a real living flame effect from a hassle free heating solution. Easy to control, some are even available with remote controls. Gas gives an instant heat you can turn on and off as required.

No costly installation, just plug in and go. No chimney required, just a conventional socket. Said to be 100% efficient as there is no heat loss up the chimney. Electic stoves are ideal for a focal point were radiators are already in a room, although most give around 2kW of heat.

Central heating stoves have a boiler which is capable for providing domestic hot water and central heating. Physically a central heating stove is no bigger than the same stove without a boiler as the boiler. The main differences are that central heating stoves will generally not have fire bricks inside as this would prevent heat reaching the boiler and also you should see the boiler outlets on the rear of the stove.

Double sided stoves are ideal for creating a central chimney setting as a focal point in a large room. Double sided stoves have become popular when people knock together two rooms which have had a chimney breast between them. A double sided stove is a safer and more practical option than an open fire as it can be left unatended without worrying about sparks flying into the opposite room.

Insert and inset stoves are built into a chimney breast leaving just the front face visible. Inset stoves sit on the hearth, whereas an insert stove would be set higher in the wall. Inset stoves can transform an inefficient open fire into an efficient wood burning stove often without requiring a great amount of building work as many fit into standard fireplace openings.
