If you live in a smoke controlled zone, you'll need a DEFRA approved wood-burning stove. These stoves permit you to legally use authorised fuels without violating the law or causing upset to your neighbours.

The latest Defra-approved stoves feature the most advanced clean burning technology with secondary and tertiary system to reduce emissions. They can also be used with a wide range of smokeless fuels.

Defra Approved

The term 'Defra-approved stove' may sound complicated but it's really wood-burning stove that has been exempted from UK smoke control zones. In order to achieve Defra approval, a stove must go through rigorous testing and, if successful, be awarded the official designation of an DEFRA Smoke Exempt Appliance.

Stoves that have been approved by defra exempt stoves can only be used to burn fuels that are approved by Defra and of course wood - they must also perform the task efficiently and with little smoke. This is because these stoves can make use of the latest combustion technology that prevents any combustibles that are part-burned from going up the chimney, and thus into the air. This is great for the environment and reduces the risk of a chimney blockage.

We stock a variety of multi fuel stove defra approved-fuel stoves that are both traditional and modern. This includes the stunning Portway Arundel XL which has a large, panorama glass panel that gives full enjoyment and view of a warm fireplace.

It has an A energy rating and the ability to burn logs overnight and a body made of steel for excellent heat retention, in addition to being Defra approved and available for the price of $1,499. The Bohemia X60 Cube Multifuel stove is another option to think about; this multifuel DEFRA stove boasts an output of between 3 and 9kW, and an impressive A plus efficiency for heating which makes it a great choice for those living in smoke-free areas.

For those looking for something more traditional, there's the ESSE 700 Vista. It's a Defra approved stove that offers plenty of style and quality. It is a top-quality stove with an A+ rating and can be installed in the DEFRA Smoke Control Zone due to its patented twin catalytics technology. This is a top quality stove and it also complies with the coming Eco Design 2022 regulations.

Eco Design Ready

Eco Design regulations are a key element of the UK government's clean air strategy. The regulations were enacted to reduce harmful emissions produced by wood burning stoves in the UK. It is now illegal to produce any new wood burning stove that doesn't comply with the Ecodesign regulations. Stoves already in the supply chain may continue to be sold, but in 2022 all new installations will need to be Eco Design compliant.

As an official 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 provide lower levels of particulate matter when compared to open fires. In addition to this, SIA Eco Design approved stoves have been shown to produce 80% less CO2 emissions when compared with an open fire.

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

To be deemed Eco Design Ready, a stove must have lower emission levels across all of these tests - an increase in fuel efficiency and a reduction in the quantity of harmful byproducts created are also key. Our Eco Design approved wood burning stoves feature the most advanced combustion techniques, such as secondary air supply and catalytic convertors which aid in limiting the emission of harmful gases in operation.

Not only are Eco Design approved stoves better for the environment, but they're also more cost-effective to run. This is because Eco Design stoves use less fuel to produce the same amount of heat. You'll save money on your energy bills. A wood-burning stove can also help you to heat your home more efficiently.
