DEFRA Exempt stoves are certified to reduce air pollution, making them suitable for Smoke Control Areas. They pass lab tests measuring emissions at both full and reduced output, typically using firewood. Since 2022, Ecodesign legislation has introduced stricter emissions limits than DEFRA Exemption, though it doesn’t include reduced output testing. Future updates may add this requirement for stoves used in Smoke Control Areas. You might like to read more in depth information about The Clean Air Act of 1956 and 1968.
The Neo 1F EcoDesign is the shortest model in the range of Neo contemporary stoves and is designed to fit into existing fireplace openings.
The Neo 3F EcoDesign is a compact contemporary stove similar to the Neo 1F. However, this model has the extra side glass panels, which means the flames can be seen through the sides of the stove as well as the front.
Highly efficient and cleanburning, the Loughrigg is EcoDesogn Ready and approved for burning wood in smokeless zones.
The Mendip Ashcroft is a simply designed stove with a big glass and a less than 5kw output.
The Skantherm Emotion M is an eye-shaped contemporary stove with a large window stretching nearly the full width of the stove. At 7kW the Emotion M is a designer stove suited to heating a medium/large room.
Here we have the Future Fires Panoramic FX1 which is an oval stove with very wide window. At 8 kW this stove is suited to the medium sized room and the shape and very wide window will make an impression on any room.
The Future Fires Panoramic FX2 is a smaller version of the FX1, featuring an output of 5kW.
The smallest of the Invicta Sedan models but with all the attributes that cast iron brings, the S has a 5kW heat output for smaller rooms or where it is a secondary heat source. Being cast iron it gives a more even heat distribution and allows the stored energy to continue to heat the space after the fire has gone out.
The Scandfire Opus 70 gives you the Scandfire all-in-one system that arrives on site ready to assemble. The Opus 70i woodburning inset stove sits in a solid chamber in the room from which the pumice chimney continues on and out.
The glass-covered door of the Opus Melody G gives it that slightly reflective and deep black look that I really like.
