There are so many different types of woodburning and multifuel contemporary stoves to choose from that many of us fail to appreciate what they have to offer. There are some absolutely stunning contemporary stoves on the market today which are not always as expensive as you might assume. We will now take a look at some of the more popular contemporary stoves and what they have to offer.
Hwam 7150 woodburning stove
As you can see from the image, the Hwam 7150 woodburning stove is a classic amongst classics when it comes to contemporary stoves. Not only is the cylindrical shape of the stove extremely eye-catching, but the soapstone surround will literally take your breath away. Many people automatically assume that the soapstone surround is for visual purposes only when in fact soapstone is a fascinating material. It is one of the most absorbent materials you will find, which allows the heat from your woodburning stove to be radiated into your room many many hours after the stove has burnt out.
Wiking Miro 5 woodburning stove
The Wiking Miro 5 woodburning stove is a machine which packs a punch with an 8 kW output and a square like shape to the design. While this design may not be to everybody’s taste, it is the side window panels which give it that additional contemporary look. Yes, you can view the flickering flames and the burning embers from the front of the machine but you can also experience the full flavour from the side as well. This is the type of contemporary stove which grabs your attention, is an automatic conversation starter and looks extremely elegant.
Neo 3F woodburning and multifuel stove
The Neo 3F stove may have a relatively low 5 kW output but this is a machine which will grab your attention. At first glance it offers the traditional style and look of an order type stove but then you realise it is square in shape, is held up by four larger-than-life legs and more importantly has two very interesting side window panels. The ability to give a contemporary look with a traditional feel is not easy, and the powerful visual image of the burning flames and the flickering embers will put you at ease. We can only imagine what it must be like to fall asleep in front of a Neo 3F stove!
Varde Aura 11 woodburning stove
At first glance the Varde Aura 11 stove looks like one of your more stereotypical contemporary machines. However, when complete with the plinth this brings a whole different aura to the machine. This is a 5 kW heat output stove which has a larger than normal viewing area but it is the cylindrical shape and plinth which makes it standout. A number of contemporary woodburning stoves come with their own plinths which can make a massive difference to the visual impact. In essence, the modern day contemporary stove is more akin to an item of furniture than a heater!
Dovre Rock 500 woodburning stove
The Dovre range of stoves has long had a reputation for contemporary and very eye-catching designs. It will therefore come as no surprise to learn that the Dovre Rock 500 woodburning stove is perhaps one of the more outstanding contemporary machines on the market today. It is not the fact it has an extended viewing area, from which to watch the flickering flames and the burning embers, but it is the TV like shape of the machine. The rounded edges are very different, the 9 kW heat output will surprise many but it is the all-round contemporary look and feel of the Dovre Rock 500 woodburning stove which ensures it is as much a part of the furniture as a heating device. Oh, how the stove industry has moved on in recent times; traditional is good but contemporary styles have taken the industry to a new level.
