Freestanding Stoves are the most common stoves we install. Freestanding means the stove needs an air gap around the stove which is very important for the stove to effectively heat the room. If hot air around the stove cannot rise then you won’t feel the full effect of your stove and quite frankly you’ve just wasted a lot of money! Ideally we want 300mm (12”) above the stove and 150mm (6”) either side of the stove. Not only is it very important to select the correct kilowatt output for the room but also to insure the stove will fit comfortably inside the fireplace opening. Constructional work (as listed below in Traditional Stoves) is part of our installation service.
