Colors that are bold like green and red can also add a striking appearance to your home. Metallic finishes can give your home an aesthetic that is contemporary. If you prefer a more subtle look, you can choose a stove that has an enamel coating. This will provide an even, smooth surface that is easy to clean and can match any interior color scheme.

Reduced emissions

In addition to being eco sustainable, Defra approved multi fuel stoves reduce emissions within the home. The most significant pollutant released by solid fuels, such as wood and coal, is ultra-fine particles (also known as PM2.5). These fine particles can get into the lungs, causing respiratory illness or heart disease.

Modern multi-fuel stoves endorsed by DEFRA are designed to lower levels of this harmful substance. The Stove Yard offers a variety of stoves that are SIA Ecodesign ready and have been rigorously tested to ensure that they operate far below the latest manufacturing standard of 3g/hour for appliances installed in areas with smoke control. We also have several models that have been approved by clearSkies, an independent scheme that can offer additional reductions in emissions.
