Buyers guide - where can a stove go?

The tempting answer is 'almost anywhere' as stoves come in a wide range of sizes, heat outputs, designs and materials.

• We can remove your existing fireplace and prepare the opening to accept your new stove. Whether it is a free standing or inset stove.
• Some fireplaces need no alteration and we can fit your stove beautifully into an existing opening.
• Some houses or new builds have no existing fireplace and we can install an artificial flue system and have the stove free standing in the room. This is how they are usually installed on the continent.
• In some of these examples shown here you can see we have boxed the flue system in and created an artificial chimney breast.

But there are some restrictions, both practical and sensible. A stove should not be too large for the space it is intended to heat. That just leads to one purchasing a bigger and more expensive stove than necessary. But a stove should not be too small for the space and requirements you may have. Too small a stove can lead to over-firing and this not only uses too much fuel but can damage the door rope, the glass and even the stove itself.

A stove might go in a conservatory attached to your house. it adds a focal point to what is often a large space and allows you to use your conservatory in the colder months.

And even in a period caravan...........
