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.

There is no doubt that the growing demand for contemporary stoves has led to an increase in demand for items such as the ACR Trinity 1 multifuel stove. As you can see from the image, this is a square design multifuel stove but it has an extended viewing area from which you can enjoy the flickering flames and the burning embers. What may surprise many people is the fact under the relatively plain exterior hidden away is the latest in stove of combustion technology and efficiency. If ever there was a case of not judging a book by its cover then the ACR Trinity 1 multifuel stove ticks all the boxes!

Comfortable in any environment

It does depend on which way you look at the ACR Trinity 1 multifuel stove as to whether you see a contemporary or even a touch of tradition in the design. While the extended viewing area is most certainly a characteristic of contemporary stoves, it will look perfect in either contemporary or traditional styled locations. In many ways the first thing you see is the flickering flames and the burning embers and to a certain degree the design is secondary.

Over the last few years we have seen a significant shift in trend towards more contemporary stoves with expanded viewing areas. It is fair to say that the ACR Trinity 3 multifuel stove ticks all of the boxes. So, what else do we know about the stove?
