Contemporary Wood Stoves The earliest homes were built around wood stoves, providing a central heating source that has no impact on your electricity bill. Modern stoves can be an attractive addition to any home. This DEFRA approved modern wood burning stove blends a contemporary design with an eco-friendly combustion system. It has an A plus energy rating and can reach 5kW of power priced at around PS1,900. How They Work Wood stoves are a great way to warm your home. They can be used to heat a space as a primary source or as a second source of heating. They also add ambiance and style to make any room feel more warm and inviting. The wood burning stoves create a controlled environment which lets the fire burn more efficiently and produce heat. This is done by directing air towards the fire. This allows you to in regulating how quickly and effectively the fire is burning. This is a crucial factor in the effectiveness of a stove since the fire that burns for too long will deplete energy and heat into the atmosphere. Modern wood stoves help to reduce this by directing the air into the firebox in several different directions to keep the fire burning. Many modern wood stoves use a catalytic combustion chamber to help achieve maximum efficiency. It is a piece of metal, usually in a circular shape, that sits at the top of the wood stove, where the flue pipe attaches. It looks a lot like a metal honeycomb and it has pores where the combustion gases from the wood are released. These gases are then burned again to release more heat at lower temperatures. Air bypass chambers are yet another characteristic of modern wood stoves. They are large flaps that can be opened in the interior of a firebox to redirect flue gas around the catalyst when the wood stove is first launched. This can help to begin the fire more quickly and also reduce the initial accumulation of soot on the catalyst's surface. This feature is found in both new and old stoves, and can increase the efficiency of heating for wood stoves. Convection Chambers No matter if you're living in a rustic woodland cabin or a modern tiny house, there's nothing that is more compatible with nature than a wood stove. These heating devices aren't only a great way to add warmth and ambiance to your home, but also a green alternative to fossil-fuels. Here's how they work. Modern wood stoves are extremely energy efficient thanks to technological advancements. The skin on the second side creates air pockets right around the “firebox” or main compartment. Cool air from the surrounding area is attracted into these pockets, then let out from the top of your stove when heated, warming the surrounding space more quickly and efficiently. A lot of modern wood stoves make use of sheet iron. This material is malleable and can heat and cool faster than cast iron. This enables the construction of a more durable, sleek and aesthetically pleasing stove that's perfect for contemporary homes. Sheet iron is also more eco-friendly than cast iron since it doesn't generate as much harmful emissions. If you're planning to purchase a new wood stove ensure that it is catalytic and EPA-certified. This type of wood stove burns more evenly and creates less pollutants than non-catalytic stoves. Also, you'll use less wood because the fire burns for longer. While wood stoves should not be your sole source of heat, it can be a fantastic backup to modern central heating systems in the event of an emergency. To avoid getting too much heat built up in your house it is recommended to have a blower fitted to your wood stove that will aid in spreading the heat more evenly across your home. Fireboxes The firebox of a wood stove is where magic happens. It's where you burn wood and build an open flame to generate heat. It is also where your stove will spend most of the time you use it. These fireboxes can be made out of cast iron or stainless steel. Modern stoves often incorporate a secondary skin that creates pockets hot air that are directly surrounding the fire, which allows the heated air to warm the surrounding spaces faster and more effectively than other kinds of fireplaces or wood-burning heaters. Wood stoves are becoming a staple in many homes. They are no longer only for rustic cabins high in the mountains. A wood stove can be an amazing feature piece for any room that makes it feel warm and inviting. It is important to keep in mind that wood stoves shouldn't be used as the primary or sole source of heat. If you're looking to add a wood burning stove to your home, be sure to consider the size of your dwelling and whether you already have a heating system in place. Stoves come in a wide range of styles and sizes, making it easy to find the best fit for your living space. There are small stoves for small homes and ADUs, or smaller rooms within larger homes. There are also wood burning stoves small that can be used in a large cabin or cottage. A lot of modern wood stoves are designed to be energy efficient and come with an Ecodesign rating, which helps to reduce a variety of air pollutants, including Particulate Matter (PM), Organic Gaseous Compounds (OGC) and Carbon Monoxide (CO). Some include an optional air wash system for cleaner air inside your stove. Materials Wood stoves are the heart of many homes and will look right at home in a Scandinavian style cabin or Midcentury Malibu beach house. Wood burning stoves come with a more modern design than the potbelly stoves of the past that were once the dominant feature of the hearth in your home. They are designed to heat small and medium-sized rooms. They can be set up with a variety of accessories that can add warmth. Wood-burning stoves are cheaper than coal and gas which could save you money in the winter. They are also eco-friendly. However, they can still be expensive to install and require regular maintenance. Depending on your environmental preferences depending on your environmental preferences, you can select from a range of modern wood stoves that are certified to different levels of environmental efficiency. For example the Short Penguin Eco from Chilli Penguin Stoves features a second thermally retaining glass to improve energy efficiency and achieves over 80 percent efficiency thanks to its dual combustion and air flow. Stovax's non-catalytic stoves can be a great option if you want to cut carbon emissions even more. It is EPA-certified, and doesn't release any harmful chemicals into the atmosphere. The majority of modern stoves have the firebox surrounded by baffles or firebricks. These firebricks and baffles help maintain the temperature of the stove, which reduces the amount of smoke and particulates produced. This helps prevent creosote buildup in your chimney, and also reduces pollution in the air around your home. A catalytic woodstove functions the same as a noncatalytic stove, however it is more effective in igniting unburned gases and bringing back the flame to recombust. Styles Certain things are timeless, and a contemporary wood stove is among them. It's both a practical appliance to keep you warm during the winter months, and a beautiful design element for your living space. Modern wood stoves can be beautiful and efficient. They typically use a catalytic or non-catalytic combustion process, a kind of heating which speeds up the burning of wood that is burning in your fireplace. When the air in your fire gets heated, the water molecules in wood evaporate. This helps to fuel the flames. Then it reaches temperatures of about 600 degrees Fahrenheit, and begins to burn off the carbon and tar that's found in the wood. This reduces the amount harmful emissions released into the atmosphere which makes wood stoves more eco-friendly. The Rais Viva L 120, a stunning example is a fantastic option for those who want to maximize their efficiency while keeping their home warm. The stove comes with a catalytic system and secondary heat-retaining glass that ensures it has an energy efficiency rating of over 80%. It comes with a warranty for life, so you can use it for a number of years. Explore our JC Bordelet modern wood stoves catalog if you're a fan of the Scandinavian concept of “hygge”.
