Five of the best double fronted stoves

If you’ve got a chimney breast that handily adjoins two rooms or if you’re planning a large feature stove in an open plan space, you might consider installing a double fronted wood-burning stove.

The benefits of a double sided stove are pretty straightforward:

• double the spectacular views of the flames inside your stove
• the chance to have one stove serving two rooms
• an even more eye-catching feature in your home

Of course, you also get all the money-saving advantages of a regular wood-burning stove. You just need to remember to account for all the space that the stove will be heating when you calculate what size stove you need.

If that all sounds like what you’re looking for, let’s look at five recommended double fronted woodburners.

1. Evergreen ST1050DV Elm Double Fronted 10 kW Multi-fuel Stove

The traditionally styled Evergreen Elm is a steal. At £605, it’s one of the cheapest double sided stoves you’re likely to come across.

The Elm produces a not inconsiderable 10kW heat output – again, very impressive for the price.

2. Firebelly FB1 Double Fronted Black 6 kW Woodburner

From the classically styled Elm, to the very modern Firebelly FB1. The large glass display area gives a distinctive, contemporary appearance that is enhanced by the full-height curved legs.

At the time of writing, this model is available for £1,402.50 (down from £1,650.00). The FB1 delivers a 6kW heat output.

3. Invicta 800 Grand Vision Double Fronted 15 kW Wood Burning Inset Stove

Something a little bit different again, the Invicta 800 Grand Vision is an impressive inset stove. It can work well at a traditional fireplace level, but can be installed at almost any height on a wall between two rooms.

The result is that your woodburner effectively becomes a work of art in two rooms in your home. The 800 Grand Vision is currently priced at £1,582.96.

4. Firebelly FB3 18kW Double Fronted

The FB3 is the big sister of the FB1 featured above. The design features, including the distinctive large glass display area and the rounded legs, are largely the same as in the smaller model.

However, the appliance is larger in size and pumps out three times as much heat courtesy of its 18kW output.

5. Invicta Nelson 14 kW Double Fronted Wood Burning Stove

The Invicta Nelson is a double-sided pedestal stove, designed as a free-standing appliance that can simultaneously serve two sides of the same room.

Currently priced at £2,100.78, the Nelson generates 14kW in heat output, which makes it suitable to warm even larger spaces. Find out more.
