Those who follow Arada Stoves will be well aware that the company recently launched three new models. The Arada Holborn 5 Multi-fuel/Wood Burning Wide Screen Stove is one which has certainly caught the attention and is now available for purchase. Originally it was thought we would only have the Arada Holborn 5 Wood Burning Wide Screen Stove but the company has also decided to release an Arada Holborn 5 Multi-fuel Wide Screen Stove. So, what can you expect with the Arada Holborn 5 Multi-fuel/Wood Burning Wide Screen Stove and why are widescreen stoves so popular?
Characteristics of the Arada Holborn 5 Wide Screen Stove
As the name suggest, this is a 5 kW stove (actually 4.9 kW nominal) with a range from 1.5 kW up to 7 kW. Focused primarily on the most popular area of the market, small to medium-sized rooms, this is an extremely interesting model. The wood-burning version is obviously wood fuel exclusive but the multifuel variation allows you to burn certain types of coal, smokeless fuel, anthracite and briquettes. Normally you’d expect the multifuel variation to be more popular, entertaining more than one type of fuel, but many people believe the whole experience revolves around a wood burner. So, it will be interesting to see which particular variation is more popular.
The dimensions of the Arada Holborn 5 Multi-fuel/Wood Burning Wide Screen Stove are height 650 mm, width 550 mm with a depth of 370 mm. There is a 125 mm flue outlet with centre or top positioning and the maximum log length is a slightly extended 375 mm. The distance to combustibles varies:-

While these are the official guidelines from Arada Stoves you are strongly advised to discuss your individual scenario with your installer.

Moving onto the wide screen stove viewing area
There is no doubt that the Arada Holborn 5 Multi-fuel/Wood Burning Wide Screen Stove will be even more popular because it has a wide screen viewing area. The last couple of years have seen a significant increase in the number of wide screen stoves due to consumer demand.
