Choosing a Defra Approved Or Smoke Exempt Stove If you live in an area that is a Smoke Controlled area then choosing a DEFRA Approved or Smoke Exempt stove is vital. They do not only meet the building regulations, but they also allow you to burn wood or multi-fuels within your home. The stove manufacturers are constantly improving their products by adding secondary and tertiary systems to reduce emissions. Defra Approved If you reside in an area that is smoke-controlled you'll need a defra-approved stove. This is because the UK government Department for Environment, Food and Rural Affairs has laws in place that ban the release of dark smoke from chimneys within smoke-controlled areas (most large towns and cities). Defra Approved stoves have undergone rigorous tests and examinations to ensure they comply with this law. They are designed to burn fuel more efficiently and produce significantly fewer pollutants. They are a better choice for you and your neighbours because the smoke levels are reduced to a minimum. Stoves that are Defra Approved will also have the logo as well as the words defra exempt or SE (smoke exempt) in their titles and specifications. Most of the wood-burning and multi fuel stoves we sell are Defra approved. We always strive to source the top quality products and we are determined to ensure that our customers get the most from their stove. Defra-approved stoves are more efficient than nonapproved models and produce less particulate matter. This, in turn, reduces the amount of dark smoke produced. Stoves that are approved by Defra usually have a larger firebox, which can help reduce smoke emissions. In addition to lessening the amount of smoke produced, Defra approved stoves will ensure that there is a constant supply of combustion air throughout the burning process. This will stop the stove from being starved of oxygen, which is what causes it to smoulder and emit dark smoke. The majority of stove manufacturers are now incorporating Defra Approved models into their product lines as they become more and more well-known. Defra approved fireplaces are a great option for people living in smoke zones for control. They are also an excellent option for anyone looking to improve the efficiency, safety and release of toxic substances into the air. They're also a great choice for those who are considering having their chimneys lined with a stainless steel twin wall liner that is flexible. The majority of Defra-approved models come with 5” outlet, which permits them to be used in combination with a 125mm lining, instead of the standard 6” liner. This can save you money on the liner, as well as the installation. Some people choose to slumber the stove for a night by closing the top vent and letting it burn slowly. This can lead to a buildup of soot and other tars that can block your chimney. A Defra-approved stove will not allow you to close the top vent completely, as this could trigger the fire to cease. It is also less likely that combustibles which have not been burned will be released into the air. This is better for the atmosphere and less likely to cause your chimney to become blocked. Exempt from Defra You'll often see the terms Defra Approved or Defra Exempt when searching for a wood-burning stove. This usually refers to a wood-burning stove or multi-fuel stove that has been deemed to be utilized in a smoke-controlled area. This is accomplished by the appliances being subjected to rigorous tests and examinations to ensure they are operating at the lowest levels of emissions. This is achieved through a secondary combustion, whereby the waste products of the burning process are burned again to reduce the amount of pollutants released into the air. This makes DEFRA Approved stoves the ideal choice for those living in a zone that is smoke-free and want to be sure that they are using a device that is safe to use. Defra stoves that are exempt from a permit are typically marked with a SE logo or labeled DEFRA Stove. This means that the appliance has passed a test developed by the UK government's Department of Environment, Farming and Rural Affairs (Defra) to show that it emits only a small amount of smoke when it is used in a proper manner. This is the reason Defra wood burning stoves are the only ones that are permitted to be used in Smoke Controlled Zones. A wood-burning stove that is Defra-approved will keep your chimney and flue cleaner, as they are designed to provide a cleaner burn of wood than other kinds. This is due to an advanced combustion system that does not restrict airflow into the firebox and allows what's called slumbering. which prevents combustibles that have been partially burned from escaping your chimney. Wood burning stoves that are Defra-approved are generally energy efficient. This is achieved by using the most modern technology to ensure that the maximum amount of heat is absorbed from the fuel and transferred to your room. You will also benefit from lower heating costs as well as more secure, cleaner and more sustainable home.
