Wood Burning Stoves in Milton Keynes

What Type of Wood-Burning Stove Do You Need?

 
 

One of the best things about wood-burning stoves is that there is more to them than meets the eye. They can be quite diverse and their capabilities vary from one to another. For this reason, you should identify your exact needs so we can provide you with the most suitable stove that will give you outstanding value for your money. 
There are three main types of wood-burning stove.

​

Convection Stoves

Convection stoves are widely considered to be the new generation of wood-burners, and for good reason! Featuring either an outer wall or built-in air channels, these stoves can distribute heated air evenly inside a room. They draw in cold air between the firebox walls and the outer wall before heating it and releasing it outside.
Unlike other types of stove, convection wood-burners are highly suitable for open-plan spaces as the sides don’t get too hot. In addition, the heat they generate can spread to other parts of your property, allowing you to keep several rooms warm at the same time.

 
Radiant Stoves

If you live in Milton Keynes and you want something akin to an open fire, we would highly recommend a radiant wood-burning stove. These stoves produce heat through their glass and bodies, providing the whole family with sufficient warmth to be nice and cosy. However, as the sides of this type of stove can get hot quickly, we would advise installing them within a chimney breast or inglenook for added safety.

 
Multi-Fuel Stoves

Highly versatile, multi-fuel stoves can burn a variety of fuels, including wood, anthracite and smokeless fuel. In most cases, this type of stove has a grate on which you can place your chosen fuel. Make sure you remove the grate when burning wood as it usually burns better when placed on a bed of ash.

Stove Styles 

Wood-burning stoves also come in different styles. As a result, you can choose a stove that will blend in seamlessly with your home’s interior design, creating a space that is as unique and as special as you.

 
Traditional

Traditional wood-burning stoves never go out of style. They are renowned for their classic and timeless design, and they certainly look great in a mountain log cabin. No matter what type of home you live in, a traditional wood-burner is sure to fit perfectly into your living space.

 
Contemporary

If you want something more modern for your property, a wood-burning stove with a contemporary design would be an excellent choice. Featuring sleeker and cleaner lines, a contemporary wood-burner makes an ideal centrepiece in any modern home with a minimalist design or an open floor plan. 
When it comes to contemporary wood-burning stoves, there are lots of designs to choose from. Some come in the original size and shape of traditional stoves but with a modern design twist while others completely redefine the classic wood-burners.

 
Inset

Inset stoves are as unique as they are beautiful. As the name implies, these stoves are built into the wall. Some are installed and set back completely while others are designed in such a way that their doors stick out a little bit.
