EASE OF USE
We want our stoves to be easy to use
and to maintain. They all light easily
and quickly and are designed with a
single air control lever which is highly
responsive in delivering the air required
for a roaring fire or a slow lazy burn.
They have a very effective airwash
system which ensures that the glass
remains clean even when the stove is
running slowly with a single log burning.
We have made the fuel bed as deep as
possible so that the ash needs to be
emptied less frequently than it does
with many other stoves and there is
minimal ash spillage onto the hearth.
We have also designed the fire chamber
in a way that means it is simple to
replace consumable components such
as fire bricks and baffles.
LOW EMISSIONS
You can’t buy a cleaner, more eco-
friendly stove than one of ours. Our
stoves are ‘exempt appliances’, which
means they are DEFRA exempt for
installation in smoke control areas,
such as towns and cities. They also
meet the efficiency standards
prescribed by Eco-design 2022
legislation and the independently
administered ClearSkies scheme.
However, the performance of the
majority of our stoves exceeds the
requirements of all these schemes to
an unprecedented degree, recording
smoke emissions of only 0.7 grammes
per hour, bettering the average level
of smoke emissions of 6.7 grammes
for DEFRA approved appliances by
a huge margin.
CONVECTIVE STOVES PROVIDING
OUTSTANDING PERFORMANCE
In tests our Sanctuary and Serendipity
stoves achieved superlative efficiency
ratings of 86.4% and even our
cylindrically shaped Solstice stove with
its huge glass window registered 75.2%.
These three stoves and all other models
in our range provide both radiant and
convective heat. The heat is drawn
through an intelligent ducted system
via a second skin that wraps around the
stove chamber extracting maximum
heat and emitting it from the front of
the stove for optimal effect.
We also include a secondary heat
shield as a standard feature of the
majority of our stoves. This improves
distance to combustibles at the rear of
the stove and enhances the convected
heat that the stove delivers into the
room, ensuring warmth throughout
and no cold spots. We construct our
stoves using steel and cast iron as this
combination produces the best
performance restricting the ingress of
air which can occur over time with a
cast iron stove as the separate panels
move, impacting its efficiency.
EASE OF INSTALLATION
The safe distance to combustibles can
often be a challenge in the installation of
a stove where there is limited space
available. Our stoves lose relatively little
WHAT MAKES A CHESNEYS
STOVE SPECIAL
HERE ARE SOME OF THE FEATURES THAT SET OUR STOVES APART FROM THE REST
heat to the sides and the rear which
means that they can be safely installed
when many other stoves cannot.
We also equip our stoves with a flue
draught test point. This enables the
installer to easily check whether the flue
is drawing effectively, and the stove will
perform efficiently.
Most stoves in the Chesneys range come
with a dedicated external air kit as
standard, which can be connected to the
outside of the property if additional
ventilation is required. This means that
all the air that is required by the stove for
both combustion and refuelling can be
drawn from the outside. Where a stove is
to be installed in a homebuilt after 2008
additional ventilation is required due to
the air tightness of the property and this
is provided for by a dedicated air kit as
an extra should you require this in your
home.
UNIQUE DOOR MECHANISM
We have introduced a genuinely
innovative feature into a number of the
stoves in both our contemporary and
Heritage collections. We focused on the
door handle mechanism as this is the
moving part of any stove that is most
susceptible to wear and tear. We
replaced the traditional handle with a
hidden touch point for opening and
closing the door, simplifying the
mechanics, enhancing longevity, and
giving the design a sleek minimalist look.
RELIABILITY
Our stoves are built to last.
Constructed with the very best cast
iron components, heavy gauge steel
and the toughest ceramic glass, a
Chesneys stove will provide a safe and
dependable source of heat for many
years. All come with a ten year
guarantee on the body and twelve
month guarantee on non-consumable
parts, providing the purchaser registers
the necessary warranty online.
