The benefits of a large log burner

Open-plan living needs a heating solution that is both powerful and adept at distributing heat evenly around the space. Thanks to their state-of-the-art convection heat flow systems, some Large log burners from Stovax draw cool air in from its spacious surroundings then warms it before dispersing it back into the room, heating your home efficiently – both in terms of the warmth created and the cost of heating it. The Studio Air Wood Burning fire range is a great example with its high-efficiency burn and a choice of decorative coloured trim such as the white design shown below.
