Spartherm wood burning stoves | The latest models in the range

Spartherm wood burning stoves are a popular European stove brand.

Made in Germany to exacting standards, they are a popular choice for those looking for a quality wood burner.

With updates to their freestanding stove edit for 2020, Spartherm are sure to steal marketshare from other high end stove brands.

Importantly, this article outlines the free-standing variants in the Spartherm range.

Additionally, Spartherm offer a vast array of inset appliances and stove installation modules alongside this edit.

Luxury wood burning stoves are gaining some traction due to the continued growth in modern home extensions.

Further, the new brochure offers an unrivalled range of stove choices and colour options unique to Spartherm.

This article will break down the latest Spartherm brochure and offers a blow by blow account of the stoves therein.

Further, we aim to provide a lighthearted view of the brochure interlude pages. Why are these used?

Importantly however, the range of stoves is described and our opinions given.

Is it time to move away from the traditional black box?

The latest offerings from Spartherm see a shift from the traditional black boxes offered by other stove manufacturers.

Their range epitomises modern design with quality German engineering.

The style and function of these high end woodburners is unique to Spartherm.

In addition, in line with eco design and modern thinking, the brand focuses on the use of wood to heat water.

Crucially, water heating models feature heavily across Spartherm new range..

Spartherm stoves | The latest brochure

A contemporary sleek exterior describes the latest Spartherm freestanding stove brochure.

A brief welcome message from the company founder, Gerhard Manfred Rokossa greets you on the inside front cover.

Thereafter, a legend outlining features, symbols and options sets the scene for tweaks and adjustments that are available across the product range.

In brief and importantly, these can be understood as follows:

• RLA | Refers to stoves which take their combustion air from the room where they are installed. Not via a direct air connection.
• RLU | Stoves which can be connected to a direct air connection, air for combustion is supplied directly to the stove, not from the room of installation.
• Rotatable | As it seems, stoves that can rotate, rotating stoves for use across two spaces. Further, such stoves can also be secured in a fixed position for cleaning and refilling.
• Heat Storage Mass on top | Stoves that have a stone or similar thermal mass constructed into the unit. As the stove heats, as does the mass, this will retain heat and radiate it into the room even after the fire has extiguished.
• Heat Storage mass lateral | As above but placed to the side of the unit where height is a consideration.
• Extension elements | Items such as log stores, tool compartments or other ingenious cubbies.
• H2O | Such units are common referred to as boiler stoves. However, Spartherm units operate with heat exchangers built into the top of the stove. Such exchangers extract heat from flue gasses and make it available to hot water storage tanks known as buffer vessels. Thereafter this water van be used for showers, batches or to operate underfloor heating.

Moreover, there are a range of other symbols which relate to heat output and other more mundane elements of a given stoves function.
