Efficient Heating Solutions with Style and Sustainability

Choosing the right stove for your home involves more than just picking one that heats well. Mendip Stoves are noted for their efficiency and thoughtful design, catering to the environmentally conscious homeowner. New Forest Fires offers insights into the Mendip Stove range to help you make a well-informed choice.


Understanding the Basics of Mendip Stoves


Mendip Stoves are designed to fit the needs of the modern homeowner, providing warmth while aiming to reduce environmental impact. Their range includes various models that suit both traditional and contemporary settings.


Finding the Right Model for Your Space


Each Mendip Stove model comes with its own set of features:


The Woodland Stove is for those interested in eco-friendly heating solutions, with each purchase contributing to tree planting efforts.

The Loxton Series adapts to different room sizes and offers the flexibility of using multiple fuel types.

The Churchill Series combines efficiency with a modern look, featuring large glass doors for viewing the fire.


Key Features to Consider


Selecting a Mendip Stove involves looking at:


• Efficiency: They are designed to provide maximum heat with minimal fuel.

• Environmental Impact: Emissions are kept low to help reduce your carbon footprint.

• Design: There’s a range of styles to match your home’s spirit and decor, with different models for diverse functionality.

• Fuel Type: The choices are wood-burning only or multi-fuel.


Why Choose a Mendip Stove?


Choosing a Mendip Stove can be beneficial for several reasons:


• Eco-friendly Heating: They offer a way to heat your home that's mindful of the environment.

• Cost Savings: The stoves’ efficiency can lead to reduced fuel costs over time.

• Durability: Mendip Stoves are built to last, representing a long-term heating solution.


Choosing Your Ideal Mendip stove


  • Double- or single-sided: It's hard to think of another stove manufacturer that makes so many double-sided models. If you have a double-sided fireplace or are planning to put a stove in the middle of a room, a double-sided stove is a very cool solution, and Mendip give you some great options. Their single-sided stoves are similar to the doubles, but with only one side. They're pretty cool, too.


  • Output: Maybe cool is the wrong word to use. Any Mendip stove is going to get your thermometer racing, in one direction only (up (was hoping that didn't need explaining but they say clarity is king)). Mendip makes stoves from 4.5kW to nearly 10kW, so whether it's a modern rabbit hutch or a crumbling cathedral you need to heat, Mendip will have a stove to suit.


  • Convection or not: Mendip offer convection casings on many of their stoves that let you situate them pretty close to even combustible walls and other materials. The extent of their versatility is virtually unmatched for traditional-ish stoves. Only the Scandinavians really come close, which is fine if you don't mind your stove resembling a barrel. If you're trying to fit a stove in a tricky spot and struggling to find one with sufficiently-low distance-to-combustibles, have a look at Mendip's range of convection stoves.


  • Log store or not: If your stove is free-standing, or if you have an unusually tall fireplace, think about adding a logstore underneath the stove. Mendip make them for most of their models. It elevates the fire-window closer to sitting eye-level. And your knees will thank you when you get old.


  • Style: Mendip make handsome stoves, and between the Loxton, Ashcott, Churchill, Woodland and Christon ranges, there's sure to be one that catches your eye. The prize-winning Woodland is even entirely manufactured in the UK, helping the UK earn its position as ninth largest manufacturing nation in the world!


Deciding on the right Mendip Stove requires consideration of your specific needs and space. At New Forest Fires, we aim to assist you in finding a stove that not only meets your heating requirements but also fits well with your home’s aesthetic.
