All stoves featured
below are manufactured from cast iron. This is the traditional
way of making stoves since the cast irn stoves diffuse heat
better than steel; moreover, the iron can be cast more thickly
over some areas where greater strength is needed. It also
has sculptural qualities, allowing attractive designs to be
cast into the stove panels.
Multi-Fuel Burning
All Stovax doors (except the Regency) have air tight seals
which allow airflows to be precisely controlled. This both
allows the heat output and refuelling frequency to be varied
and helps maximise burning efficency.
All Stovax stoves are designed for either multi-fuel use,
which means they burn wood, solid fuel or peat, or as woodburners
only. Furthermore, all stoves have a riddling grate which
allows ash to be riddled into a built-in ash pan. Woodburners
have a fixed grate and no ash pan, since wood burns best on
a ned of ashes.
Perfect Flame Control
Triple air controls also allow complete control of
the flame picture. From a deep glow, with minimal flames,
it takes only a few seconds to fill the firebox with swirling
flames from the fuel and jets of flame from the clean burn
pots.
Double-Enamelled Stoves
Enamel is a very thin coating of coloured glass which is fired
at over 800 degrees celcius on to a metal surface. To achieve
its translucent and lustrous finish, each casting is especially
designed for enamelling and is coated an fired twice.
