This insert stove has a big view of the fire and a high output of up to 16kw - you will of course be able to adjust the heat - like other good quality stoves the output range is big.

The window slides up and out of view when open - so you can have the stove running with the door open.

As the stove is double sided it will go between 2 rooms and you will bring the flue up inside an existing chimney or create a chimney with a double skin flue.

The stove is installed inside a box with grilles directing heat off it.

It can be installed with or without rebate frames.

double sided stove

great looking stove. a lot of work needed when installing in an already built house but would be ideal if building a new home where it can be incorporated in the original plans.

Fondis Stella 2 sided

A fantastic stove. For our living area which is very open plan, this stove serves its purpose as a room divider and room warmer perfectly. The sliding doors are very functional and stylish. The during and after service care from john was first class.

Fondis Stella 2

Very expensive - not a great finish with the expensive surround. Finding difficult to light. Fantastic once going.

Stove expert says: the lighting issue may be down to fuel - wood with a high moisture content is very hard to light.
