Why choose an inset wood burning stove?
1. Space-saving
If you live in a home where floor space is a commodity, an inset log burner is the most sensible solution. They’re designed to fit neatly into your wall or chimney breast, unlike traditional freestanding stoves. Their recessed design frees up valuable room, so no one has to sacrifice heating!
2. Unbeatable efficiency
Inset wood-burning stoves are sought after for their exceptional efficiency. Compared to open fireplaces (which can lose up to 70% of their heat up the chimney), inset stoves direct more heat into your living space. Their enclosed designs include features like air gaps and convection systems that circulate warm air through the room. As such, you can keep your home cosy while keeping costs and fuel consumption down.
3. Environmental friendliness
Eco-conscious homeowners can do their part for the planet by investing in an inset wood burner. Many models, including the popular Stovax Riva2 55 Wood Burning Cassette Fire, meet stringent EcoDesign standards imposed by the UK government. They’re designed to produce lower emissions and use fuel more efficiently. Other models, like the Stovax Studio Bauhaus Woodburning Cassette Fire are approved for use in smoke-controlled areas.
