Cost A wood-burning fireplace can add warmth and character into the conservatory. It can also help reduce the cost of heating and energy. However, the initial investment can be substantial. You'll need to install a flue system, and the cost could vary based on the stove's specifications and installation. The conservatory can be connected directly to the central heating system in your home or install an additional flue. Both choices have their own advantages and disadvantages. Extension of the central heating system into the conservatory can make it appear like an extension of your home however, it can also increase your utility bills. Installing a flue is more cost-effective and practical. If you decide to install a flue in your conservatory it will have to pass through the roof. It isn't easy to accomplish this in the case of a conservatory constructed of glass, but it is possible. A professional installer can cut through the roof, then use a flange and seal it against the elements. The cost of a chimney system for a conservatory will depend on the size of your room and the type of stove you choose to use. A basic twin-wall flue costs around PS1,150. An insulated version is more expensive. It is important to have the flue installed properly. It is also recommended to employ a professional to ensure that all safety rules are adhered to. A wood burner can transform your conservatory into a comfortable space to live all year round. It is also more cost effective than electric heaters. However, it is important to keep in mind that a wood burner will not provide enough warmth to warm the entire conservatory. Therefore, you'll need to use other methods for heating. You will need to make sure that your conservatory is safe and in compliance with UK building regulations prior to installing a fireplace that burns wood. The stove should be set on a non-flammable foundation and it should be positioned at least 300mm from walls that could ignite. A hearth is also required to protect the flooring from the heat produced by the stove. Heat output A wood burning conservatory can be an excellent addition to your home. It is a great option to use all year round. It is cheaper than underfloor heating and more attractive than radiators. It's also a renewable source of energy and can help you save money on your electric bill! However installing a log burner in your conservatory doesn't come without its challenges. One of the biggest hurdles is the flue installation. It can be difficult to install a flue into the glass conservatory roof but it isn't impossible. You will need to find an HETAS-registered contractor that can cut the roof and seal it using either a flange, or a sheet insulating material. This will ensure that the installation is safe and legal, which is essential for insurance purposes and in the event that you intend to sell your property in the future. It is essential to ensure that your conservatory roof is properly insulated before installing a stove. Wood Burning Stoves Fireplaces & Stoves will stop the loss of heat. This is especially important when you're using an efficient stove. A solid conservatory from Guardian Warm Roof will help to stop this issue. It offers an insulation layer that is thick and reduces the amount of heat loss through the glass. The location of the fireplace is also crucial, as the flue must be at least 2.3 meters away from the wall that connects the conservatory and your home. This may be difficult if you decide to place your stove in a corner. However, a pipe that can extend into ceilings or walls is usually a solution to this problem. It's important that you follow the codes of construction for chimneys, stoves, and fireplaces once you've selected the best location for your wood-burning appliance. You'll need to install an interior hearth of at least 12mm thick and large enough to extend 300mm in the front of the fireplace, and 150mm either side. Additionally, you'll require an air vent that is at least 550mm2 in the case of a stove with more power than 5kW. Ventilation If you're planning to install a wood burning stove in your conservatory, it's important to ensure there's adequate ventilation. This will stop the room from overheating once the fire is alight. A conservatory is often poorly insulated, so you may need to upgrade the insulation in the roof and fit an automatic temperature-controlled vent system. It's also a good idea to install a carbon monoxide detector in the event of leaks. Like other forms of heating log burners, log burners need a chimney to remove the smoke that is produced by combustion. Although it is possible to circumvent this requirement by putting in a venting system but this can be costly and may not meet the building regulations. You can use double walled flue pipes instead of an internal chimney to avoid the cost, and still provide the ventilation you require. Twin wall flues are specifically designed for use in a conservatory. They have an insulated coating that stops the pipe's surface from becoming too hot and posing a safety hazard. Other types of flue pipe like multi-wall and twin bore, shouldn't be used in conservatories since they don't have this insulation. One of the most difficult issues when installing a wood burner in a conservatory is where to place the flue. The most commonly used method is to run the flue through a wall that connects the conservatory to the house. This is usually the fastest and most cost-effective option however you'll need to follow building regulations by keeping the flue at a minimum of 2.3 metres away from the home and at a minimum of 1 centimetre above the roof of the conservatory. Another option is to install the flue pipe in the corner of the room where the stove sits. This will lower the cost of installation and give a more appealing final result. But, you'll need make sure that the flue is at least 1.3m from any combustible material and at least 1.2m from any doors. It's best to hire an expert to install the flue, as it will be easier to meet building regulations. Safety Log burners can add warmth and style to your conservatory. They also make it a relaxing place to unwind. It is crucial to follow the manufacturer's instructions and safety standards when installing log burners. Also, it is important to maintain an appropriate distance from walls and combustible materials. This task must be done by a qualified professional. A fireplace that is wood-burning can add a touch elegance to your conservatory while also being cost-effective. You can use it to warm your conservatory, making it an additional living space for your entire family. It's important to make sure that you choose the correct kind of flue and fire system, and ensure it is installed by a qualified HETAS installer. You will need to install an air intake for your wood-burning stove and it is essential that the flue is in compliance with UK building regulations. It is best to opt for the twin flue option, which is double insulated and will remain cool on the outside. It can be set against the wall of a house or the conservatory roof, and must be at least 1 m above the guttering. Before you start installing your stove, make sure to take into account the size of your conservatory and the kW (kilowatts) required to run it. You can use a variety of online calculators to determine this. Take into consideration whether you live in a region that is smoke-free, as this can affect the type and size of stoves that you can purchase. Once you have chosen the proper stove, you'll need to prepare the floor for it. The base must be made of non-combustible material and placed at a safe distance away from any combustible floor coverings or wall coverings. It is recommended to install an untiled hearth that is at least 50mm thick because this is in line with UK building regulations. In the majority of instances, you don't need planning permission to install wood-burning stoves in your conservatory. If you live in a conservation zone you should contact your local authority to find out if there are restrictions.
