Do you want to create a cosy interior that complies with all the new rules on Ecodesign 2022? Then the Churchill 8 convection stove from Mendip Stoves, is the perfect choice for you.
The smoothly curved door features a large window with matching curved sides, giving the stove a modern yet restful look. The insulated combustion chamber means that this stove even exceeds the Ecodesign 2022 directive, with a super-efficient burn.
The Churchill 8 Convection stove has a good-sized fire box for standard cut logs, the latest technology in combustion for wood and a preheated air wash system that will keep the glass clearer. Built with a high-quality 5mm steel body and curved cast door, it has a heat output range of 5-9 kW which will heat most larger internal spaces. The radiating heat along with the low distance to combustibles will help the stove fit nicely into your home.
Chris Baines, MD of Eurostove, comments: “Mendip Stoves has a wide range of Ecodesign and Defra-approved models that meet the emissions and minimum efficiency criteria of the new legislation, reducing particle matter emissions by burning wood more efficiently. Burning fuel more efficiently gives a clean environment in which to spend time. We are proud to do our part in helping the planet and help consumers make the right choice for both their home and the environment.”
An Ecodesign-compliant wood burner produces up to 90% fewer emissions than an open fire and up to 80% less than a stove manufactured over 10 years ago. “When choosing a new stove,” adds Chris, “it must ‘fit’ the room in terms of heat output. As a general rule, work out the cubic metre capacity of the room and divide by 14.
This gives the ideal minimum heat output required in kW. However, for modern and well-insulated homes it is probably more accurate to divide by 20. One must also make sure that the distance to combustibles is observed, as individual stoves may have very different space requirements around the stove itself. Finally, ensure that the stove is professionally installed by a HETAS-registered engineer. Not only is this the safe choice but your home insurance may be invalid if not.”
