Integrating stove installations with interior design

Review of ACR Buxton II Stove

A review of ACR Buxton II stove confirms it is a multifuel machine which offers the ability to burn both wood and solid fuel. There is no doubt that this option to use either type of fuel has increased demand but even the quickest of glimpses shows why it is very popular. Whether ACR Stoves has been forward looking and forwardthinking or simply stumbled onto the larger glass viewing area by mistake, it works. This is the latest trend in the wood-burning stove industry and it is not difficult to see why it is proving popular.

A glimpse of the ACR Buxton II stove

The design is a traditional box shape but the lack of curved edges gives it the machine its own edge and own style. Yes, you could say this is a traditional style or from a different angle it looks a little more contemporary. The fact that the machine itself is dominated by the extended glass viewing area has been an extremely strong selling point. The ability to watch the flickering flames, and the burning embers, is why stove enthusiasts are flocking to this machine. It is only once you have experienced the ambience, the deep-seated heat and the environment that the ACR Buxton II stove brings to the table that you will fully understand.

Review of ACR Larchdale Wood Burning Stove

The first thing that hits you about the ACR Larchdale stove is the size. This is the largest cast-iron stove in the ACR range of wood-burning and multifuel stoves. A review of the ACR Larchdale wood-burning stove has certainly made for interesting reading amidst its growing popularity. One of the first things to mention is the fact that it can be used in smoke controlled areas which is something that will be more important in the years ahead as regulations continue to tighten.

A look at the ACR Larchdale stove

Interestingly, while some companies are just catching up with the wide viewing area trend, this is perhaps the most eye-catching elements of the ACR Larchdale stove. The traditional look and extended glass door all hide the latest in combustion technology. The fact that this machine can create 9 kW of heat says everything about the stove.

We have revamped our stove accessories section

ACR Elmdale Stove, class in glass

It is fair to say that the ACR Elmdale Stove is larger than your traditional stove but it is a beauty! Designed specifically for large inglenook fireplaces it offers a traditional matching steel canopy but the glass viewing area is something very different. Described as a contemporary stove, which is perfectly correct, the steel canopy just gives it that old-fashioned old-world look. So what else does the ACR Elmdale Stove have to offer?

Design of the ACR Elmdale Stove

Despite the fact that the new design regulations do not come into play until 2022 this stove is already SIA EcoDesign ready. We cannot reiterate how much this will be worth in the long-term as governments around the world continue to tighten regulations regarding the use of stoves, especially in smoke control areas. It is also worth noting the beautifully angled glass door which is very different to anything you will probably have seen before. The way in which it is designed gives an even greater viewing area from which you can watch the flickering flames and the burning embers until your heart’s content.

No ban on wood-burning stoves, repeat no ban on wood-burning stoves

ACR Trinity 1 Stove looks the part and delivers

In all honesty it is not difficult to see why the ACR Trinity 1 Stove is proving to be popular, let’s face it, ACR have an incredible track record when it comes to rolling out contemporary wood-burning and multifuel stoves. The ACR Trinity 1 Stove is literally just the latest in a long line of stoves with a breathtaking design and able to deliver on all promises. So, what exactly does the ACR Trinity 1 Stove have to offer?

Look of the ACR Trinity 1 Stove

In a rather bizarre way, the look and the square shaped design of the stove gives both a contemporary and traditional look (if that’s possible?). It is also a little ironic but as other companies look to rush out widescreen viewing areas, the ACR Trinity 1 Stove already has a significantly extended viewing area. We can probably put this down as a touch of magic by ACR?

ACR Novus Multi Fuel Stove is stunning

Even though the ACR Novus Multi Fuel Stove has been on the market for a short while now it is worth taking another look at what it has to offer. Even from a distance you can see the beauty, the exquisite design and the little added extras which make it very different from the norm. Yes, there is no doubt that the ACR Novus Multi Fuel Stove will be a popular choice for some time to come!

Design of the ACR Novus Multi Fuel Stove

Before we look at the technical aspects let us focus on the black glass front which is further enhanced by the gloss black ceramic top. These elements are all surrounded by a traditional matt black finish on the body of the stove which creates a bit of bling and something eye-catching. Even from a distance it is not difficult to understand why the ACR Novus Multi Fuel Stove is so popular and why it is probably one of the best conversation starters we have seen for some time.

Stovax View 5 widescreen stove hits the market

When you bear in mind that Stovax have been releasing widescreen stoves for an array of their brands, it was only a matter of time before we saw the View 5 widescreen stove. On paper it may just be a relatively small adjustment but it makes a massive difference to the experience and helps to fulfil consumer appetite for widescreen stoves – something which has been growing for some time. What should you expect from the View 5 widescreen stove?

Easy on the eye

The original View 5 stove wood-burning and multifuel stove had a boxlike shape with a slimline body. This style has been maintained for the new View 5 widescreen stove but there is a wider screen. The opportunity to watch the flickering flames and the burning embers in more detail has certainly enhanced the overall experience. Unless you have felt the deep seated heat created by wood-burning/multifuel stove it is difficult to find the right words. The words which bring to mind include relaxing, chilling and a different ambience which creates the perfect environment in which to drift off to sleep.
