Defra Approved

The term "Defra-approved stove' could sound like a complicated word, but in reality it's just wood-burning stove that has been granted a waiver from UK smoke control zones. To be eligible for Defra approval, a stove must undergo rigorous tests. If successful, it is awarded the official title DEFRA Smoke Exempt Appliance.

Stoves that are DEFRA recognized stoves-approved can only be used to burn fuels that are approved by Defra and, of course, wood - they must also do so effectively and with minimal smoke. These stoves are equipped with the most recent technology for combustion, which stops part-burned combustibles being able to go up the chimney and into the air. This is good for the environment, and it also means that these types of stoves are much less likely to block chimneys.

As well as offering a selection of the top DEFRA approved wood burners, we also carry a variety of traditional and contemporary multi-fuel stoves. This includes the stunning Portway Arundel XL which has an enormous, panoramic glass panel that allows for full enjoyment and view of a crackling fireplace.

It comes with an A energy rating as well as overnight log burning capability and a steel body to ensure excellent heat retention as well as being Defra approved and available for the price of $1,499. The Bohemia X60 cube panorama Multifuel stove is another option to think about; this multifuel DEFRA stove boasts the power output of 3 and 9 kW and an impressive A plus efficiency for heating which makes it a great choice for those living in smoke-free areas.

Eco Design Ready

Eco Design regulations are a key component of the UK Clean Air Policy of the Government. The regulations were enacted to reduce harmful emissions generated by wood burning stoves in the UK. It is now illegal to manufacture any new wood burning stove that does not comply with the Ecodesign regulations. Stoves that are already in the supply chain can continue to be sold but, from 2022 the new installations must be Eco Design compliant.

As we are a member of the Stove Industry Alliance (SIA) we offer a variety of Eco Design approved wood burning stoves that have been independently tested and proved to have lower levels of particulate matter in comparison to open fires. SIA Eco Design stoves also produce 80% less CO2 emissions than open fire.

The test involves measuring particulate matter (PM) organic gaseous compounds (OGC) and carbon monoxide (CO) and nitrogen oxides (NOx). If you purchase a SIA approved Eco Design stove, you can be sure that it has been designed to reduce the production of harmful chemicals.

Eco Design Ready stoves must be able to lower the emission levels in all tests. They must also have a higher fuel efficiency and produce less harmful by-products. Many of our Eco Design approved wood burners come with advanced combustion technologies like secondary air supply and catalytic converters that help in limiting the emission of harmful gases when operating.

Not only are Eco Design approved stoves better for the environment, they're also more affordable to run. This is because they require less fuel to produce the same amount of heat, which means you'll save on your energy costs.
