Stovax Elise 540 Inset Fire - Designed For Our Environment

A wood burning stove or fire can really make a room, giving it a wonderful focal point, a homely atmosphere and a sustainable and carbon neutral source of heating. But is it as environmentally friendly as it could be?

Released this year, the Stovax range of Elise wood burning and multi-fuel inset fires is leading the way in the new EU regulations targeting more environmentally friendly burning for the future.

Coming into force in 2022, the EcoDesign regulations are there to ensure wood burning and multi-fuel appliances are friendly both to the environment and our health. This is where the Elise range really comes into its own

Ecodesign Ready Stoves & Fires

 We have always strived to create standout stoves and fires that not only provide superior flame visuals, but also minimise our environmental impact. Our advanced Cleanburn technology is the result of 38 years of experience and development, with many of our products approved for use in urban environments which are typically DEFRA smoke restricted areas. However, producing DEFRA exempt appliances was only the beginning. New Ecodesign regulations are coming into force in 2022 to ensure stoves and fires burn with high efficiency and low emissions. With this in mind, we have developed the Elise range to not only meet Ecodesign limits, but to go much further. Some models in the range burn so cleanly that emissions are minimised to as little as a fifth of the forthcoming 2022 requirements. The Elise’s advanced combustion system isolates air management in the specially designed base of the fire, so that airflow is calibrated precisely to ensure a far more complete burning process than standard fires can ever achieve. The result is significantly less flue gases that impact air quality, including Carbon Monoxide (CO), Nitrogen Oxide (NOx), Organic Gaseous Compounds (OGC), and Particulate Matter (PM). We believe this is the future of solid fuel heating, which is why we offer the largest range of Ecodesign stoves and fires in the UK and Ireland.

The Benefits of Woodburning

 Unlike fossil fuels, wood releases approximately the same amount of carbon into the atmosphere as that absorbed during its growth, making it a virtually carbon neutral heat source. Choosing one of our high efficiency low emission Elise fires is a great step towards burning responsibly. To ensure your fire provides optimum heating performance, only wood with a low moisture content should be burnt. Seasoned logs should be allowed to dry for at least two years or more to achieve a moisture content below 20%, which can be easily checked with a moisture meter. When purchasing seasoned or kiln dried wood, look for the Woodsure “Ready to Burn” certification which guarantees logs will have less than 20% moisture. Good quality dry wood will not only provide a higher heat output than that of freshly felled timber, it will also avoid a build-up of tar in your flue and ensure low smoke emissions with clean and crisp flames.

 The Elise’s choice of sizes and heat outputs lets you easily select the fire that suits your heating requirements. Once you have decided on the size and type of your Elise, you can then choose how to style your fire to suit your home, with various options including door fronts and cassette fire frames listed overleaf.
