Ridgeons - Promotes Green Benefits of Wood Burners

Builders merchant Ridgeons is promoting the use of wood burning stoves as a green alternative to standard gas or electric room heaters. The company is introducing working displays in a number of its key branches to illustrate how an energy-efficient wood burner/flue combination can help house builders meet government energy-saving standards.

The working displays feature the Danish Varde Ovne wood burner range used in conjunction with flues from leading European manufacturer Poujoulat.

Product group manager Dave Jordan says: “House builders are currently working to achieve the government targets of 23% energy savings in new-build properties. The wood burners we are featuring are 80% energy-efficient and according to David Shearer, a principal consultant with the Building Research Establishment, a high efficiency wood burning stove used in conjunction with a Poujoulat chimney within the envelope of the house can achieve a 9.8% reduction in energy use which is a significant contribution towards the target. By linking with Poujoulat, we are also able to offer significant savings on the installation costs.”

Ridgeons single out the Varde Line’s inset model as a potential best seller in the new-build market. The Varde In-line 55 carries the Nordic Swan Ecolabel, an environmental stamp of approval for both the finished product and the way it is manufactured. Featuring a three-stage combustion system, the stoves use primary air to keep the fire going and secondary air to regulate the size of the flames and amount of heat. They also use tertiary air which makes them highly efficient and environmentally friendly. The tertiary air is automatically directed over the flames and burns off the remaining gases in the firebox, the extra oxygen ensuring cleaner combustion. The fully welded firebox also makes them easy to control and the design ensures that heat is evenly distributed around the room.

In conjunction with Varde Ovne and Poujoulat, Ridgeons, who is the exclusive distributor for Varde Ovne in East Anglia, can also offer special presentations for developers and house builders to demonstrate the energy savings and ease of installation of the wood burner/flue combination.
