The Best Way To Explain Best Woodburners To Your Boss

The Best Woodburners

The relaxation, blood pressure-lowering benefits of a wood stove have been documented. What do you think of the tiny particles of soot that they release?

Fortunately, the latest stoves are designed with the EcoDesign directive in the back of your mind. You can enjoy a warm and cosy home without compromising on your environmental obligations.

1. Ekol Edge

The Ekol Edge wood burner is simple in appearance but doesn't compromise on performance. It's a great choice for those who live in areas with smoke restrictions since it has the Level 5 ClearSkies credentials which means it can be used with dry and seasoned wood and approved solid fuels. Its high heat output makes it an excellent choice for large wood burner rooms. The generous fire glass also allows you to enjoy the flames.

It is constructed of modern steel, so it can be installed in both traditional inglenooks and freestanding spaces. It has an air wash system that keeps the glass clear, and prevents soot accumulation. The stove is highly efficient, which means that it can transfer a significant amount of heat produced to your home instead of being directed up the chimney.

The criticism of wood burning stoves has increased, because it was shown that they may contribute to the creation of microscopic sooty air particles referred to as PM2.5. These particles have been linked to lung and heart issues. Newer models that meet the Eco design Regulations will be less likely to generate these sooty particles. They're only a tiny part of the total pollution created by burning fossil fuels like gas and coal, but there is no doubt that wood burners are the main source of this pollution.

It is important to choose the correct wood for the stove in order to get the highest heat output and combustion. There are a variety of wood that can be burned in your stove, including eucalyptus hazel, beech, and hazel. Eucalyptus, which is quick-burning, but also offers plenty of heat, is a good option. However, it must be well-seasoned. Beech is a great choice, but it's difficult to work with due to its thorns.

The Ekol Adept has been designed to handle the upcoming changes to regulations that have been implemented, and it's Defra exempt and ClearSkies rated, which means you can use it with approved fuels, so long as you follow the guidelines. It's a heavy-duty burner designed to last, with solid construction and a 10-year body warranty, which is back by its impressive heating performance.

2. Arada Holborn 5 Widescreen

Wood burning stoves remain extremely popular, and despite the directive maze that surrounds them they're not going to disappear. In fact, some groups are calling for much more stricter restrictions and even a ban on stoves that burn wood, so it's worth reading our guide to stove pollution and regulations before you go shopping for an updated log fire or multifuel burner.

One company that is trying to keep the popularity of woodburners high is Arada Stoves. They have recently launched a widescreen version of their renowned Holborn 5 Multifuel/Wood Burning stove. It's an DEFRA approved, SIA 2022 Ecodesign Ready woodburner with a huge glass door that provides a great flame picture. It also has an airwash system that prevents soot build-up.

This stove is easy to use, and has an output of 4.9kW. Its curving lines and classic design make it ideal for both traditional and modern decor. The flat back design means it can be inserted into smaller recesses, and it's easy to install a direct-air system with this model to improve the efficiency of the system.

This stove also has an ash dump built-in, which makes it easy to remove ashes and clean them up regularly. This decreases the chance of dust and odours escaping the room. You can select between two types of flue adaptors, according to the chimney type you have. It also comes with wireless remote control.

Wood-burning stoves create a beautiful atmosphere in our homes, regardless of whether or not they are good for our health. It's important to consider the health consequences of indoor air pollution and particulate matter. If you are installing a woodburner, it's recommended that you close the door when you are not interacting with the fire. It is also recommended to regularly clean the stove to keep the air as clean as possible.

3. Go Eco 5kW Plus

A woodburner adds a lovely atmosphere to any room, it's not just relaxing to watch the flames flicker, but it also helps lower blood pressure. But it's not all good news.

New regulations have been put in place to ensure that log burners are up to the highest standards. This will cut down on creosote leakage, smoke build-up and most importantly harmful gases like carbon monoxide.

New woodburners must comply with a brand new standard and this is where the Go Eco 5kW Plus stands out, this multi-fuel stove not only meets, but surpasses the new standards.
