The Arada Holborn 7 Wood Burning/Multifuel Stove is the latest in a new range announced by Arada Stoves. Initially there seemed to be some confusion as to whether it would be wood burn only but thankfully they have also released a multifuel version. The ability to burn a variety of different fuels will certainly have been recognised by consumers. So, what exactly do you get with an Arada Holborn 7 Wood Burning/Multifuel Stove?
Characteristics of the Arada Holborn 7 Wood Burning/Multifuel Stove
As the name suggests, this is a nominal 7 kW stove with a range of between 1.5 kW and 10 kW which is more than enough to heat a medium to large sized room. The fuel efficiency rating for wood is 78.2% with a slightly higher efficiency rating of 81.2% for the multifuel variation. These are beautifully designed machines, would not be out of place with any decor and are as much a part of the furniture as they are a stove.
The dimensions of the Arada Holborn 7 Wood Burning/Multifuel Stove come in at height 650 mm, width 550 mm with a depth of 370 mm. The maximum log length for this model is 400 mm and there is a 125 mm flue outlet. The flue can be positioned at the top or back of the stove which gives added discretion during the installation process. The energy rating is an impressive A and it is fair to say the Arada Holborn 7 Wood Burning/Multifuel Stove is currently head of its regulatory obligations.
Installing an Arada Holborn 7 Wood Burning/Multifuel Stove
The safety distance from combustibles is:-
Standard flue connection
• Side wall 600 mm
• Rear wall 650 mm
Twin wall insulated flue
• Side wall 500 mm
• Rear wall 100 mm
When installing your stove you should chat with the installer and they will take account of your specific situation and room measurements. It is imperative that the safety distances are respected as failure to do so could significantly increase the dangers of a fire.
It goes without saying that the Arada Holborn 7 Wood Burning/Multifuel Stove should be installed by a qualified installer (HETAS is the preferred qualification). Those who decide to self-install and have their stove signed off by the local building regulations department are quite entitled to do so. However, there is no guarantee it will be signed off.
Enjoy the Arada Holborn 7 Wood Burning/Multifuel Stove
There is nothing quite like the deep seated heat emitted from either a wood-burning or multifuel stove. The ability to sit back, kick off your shoes and just relax in a world miles away from the stresses and strains of everyday life is invaluable. The two different variations allow you to burn traditional wood fuel with both and briquettes and other smokeless fuels with the multifuel version. We know that Arada Stoves will have done their research, obtained market feedback and created three new stoves which will go down extremely well with consumers. While the main area of the market tends to revolve around small to medium sized rooms, in the region of 5 kW, this 7 kW machine takes this up a notch. Many out there with medium to large rooms will be pleased to see a new addition for them to consider!
