What are the benefits of a tiled stove compared to a wood-burning stove?

By

Nicer warmth, a more efficient fireplace and a beautiful “feel good” piece of furniture.

  • Less wood consumption
  • Better economy
  • Better environmental values

A wood-burning stove provides about 5-7 kW when the fire is burning, and it cools down very quickly, which means that you get a “sauna effect”, i.e., too much heat for too short a time for the house and people to be able to absorb the heat. A fireplace that produces 2.5 kW/hour is optimal from an energy and comfort perspective: Higher than this is perceived as too hot. A properly fired tiled stove provides approximately 2kW/hour all day long.

Does the function of an Antik tiled stove differ from that of a new Gabriel?

By

The principle of the five flue ducts is the same. However, our newly manufactured tiled stoves are equipped with a combustion insert which not only has a larger glass door but also warms and spreads room air through the cassette. Another advantage of a newly manufactured tiled stove is that an Antik stove needs to be regularly dismantled and then rebuilt. This is to keep it airtight.

I have small rooms in my house, does it get too hot to be in a small room when the tiled stove is on?

By

The advantage of a tiled stove compared to a wood-burning stove is that it gives off pleasant heat for a very long time. A tiled stove emits an average of 2 kW/hour and that is what we perceive as pleasant, anything more than that is perceived as too hot. With a wood-burning stove that provides about 5-7 kW when at its warmest and then cools off as fast as the fire, a sauna effect is achieved, i.e. it becomes very hot quickly. Then, you must ventilate the room for the temperature to be pleasant.
