198 | UK Enterprise Awards 2022 The Stove Box is an innovative product that ensures your stove will get hotter quicker and stay warmer longer, using less fuel and benefiting the environment. We find out more about the benefits of using a Stove Box in the wake of the company being recognised in the UK Enterprise Awards 2022. From this year, all new eco-stoves sold now have to meet certain Government criterion to be cleaner burning, with the outcome being that they will also be around 80% more efficient. This means that more focus must be on initial installation of a stove – be it gas, woodburning, or multi-fuel – to ensure minimum heat loss. Current installation techniques often see leaks of large amounts of heat above the sealing plate, which is typically only 1.5mm thick, and through the brickwork meaning very little heat is retained. After designing and installing fireplaces for more than 35 years, The Stove Box has created a product that offers four ways of installing a stove. Using this innovative patented product, The Stove Box, will effectively eliminate all these heat loss problems. It pushes heat back into the room, keeping it hotter for longer, making the stove even more effective – as well as compliant. It is particularly useful when a house has no existing chimney and a ‘false chimney breast’ is required when the stovebox is used with our other product, “the SBX700” false chimney breast system creating a unique feature in the room where the stovebox is the start of a new chimney system when a stove Best Stove Installation Product Manufacturer – East Midlands May22469 is required. The customer can design their own feature by choosing from our wide range of other products. This also is a very quick install. www. falsechimneybreastcompany.com There are multiple benefits of using a Stove Box, these include: a separate flue collar (5” and 6”) which can be adjusted both forward and backward. This enables the collar to line up with the existing flue, allows quicker on-site installation, and gives a nice square ridged opening. What’s more, because of the insulation when the box is inserted in the opening, overall performance is enhanced from the stove. Direct heat is maintained in the room, and a stove fitted in a Stove Box will get hotter quicker and stay warmer longer by using less fuel. The Stove Box came about after many years of testing. Using a 5Kw multi fuel stove in a Kiwa testing laboratory, it was found that a better insulated surround results in higher temperatures on the inside of the surround – with clearly reduced temperatures on the outside. When a stove is placed into an existing chimney breast, using a register plate system, heat from the stove will escape into the atmosphere, not in the room. Most installers chop out an opening, buy a blank plate, cut out a neat hole for the stove pipe to fit through, and seal with silicon, which creates a hot spot in the breast above the plate. The Stove Box has a larger hole in the top to allow a separate adjustable collar, which has a heat gasket protecting and reducing heat transfer, creating a quicker, and safer installation. The collar is then bolted into position with sealing rope around the stove pipe, stabilising the stove and pipe. Heat transfer also can be a problem when a false chimney breast is built as this creates a chamber to fit a stove into which, in turn, creates all sorts of heat problems as a further heat loss test confirmed.
