The latest freestanding wood stove from DRU under its Dik Geurts brand is Soren 5 (pictured), part of a series that includes the popular Ivar and Aste. It has a classic square shape with a distinctive new door design in a dark anthracite finish. The standard heat output is 4.9kW so it can be used without additional ventilation, and it has an ‘A+’ energy rating with 82% energy efficiency.
These stoves can be installed into existing UK fireplaces by hollowing out the chimney breast and creating an inglenook fireplace. There are also freestanding models with various log storage options.
Also new is the Odin, a stunning circular wood stove that can be wall-mounted or suspended from the ceiling. The latest model includes a sturdy base that takes up very little space in the living room but creates an impressive focal point.
Finally, the Instyle Corner Slim 660/570 is the latest in a series of built-in wood burning fires in single-sided, 2-sided, 3-sided and tunnel options. The 660/570 model has a compact size that is suitable for the conversion of a standard UK chimney or for installation in a false chimneybreast or room dividing wall.
