Wood stoves (freestanding)

Freestanding wood stoves: place them anywhere and make them the centrepiece of your home

A freestanding wood stove is a standalone appliance that burns wood and is placed loose in the living space, rather than built in like an insert or monobloc fireplace. You choose the setup yourself: against a wall, in a corner or centrally in the room as a centrepiece. In this category you will find freestanding wood stoves with clear specifications on output, efficiency and dimensions.

What can you choose from?

• Output - from compact models for small spaces to powerful appliances for large, open living areas.
• Finish - steel, cast iron, natural stone or handmade ceramic, to suit any interior.
• Efficiency and energy class - modern stoves with afterburning (secondary and tertiary air supply) burn cleaner, with higher efficiency and lower emissions than earlier generations.

What to look out for when choosing?

Key factors are the output matched to the volume to be heated, the diameter and position of the flue gas outlet, and the required safety distances to combustible materials. A correctly sized flue and sufficient air supply are essential for safe and efficient operation.
