5 Great Uses For Double-Sided Wood-Burning Stoves

Double-side stove

When you buy a wood-burning stove you get the relaxing and mesmerising experience of being able to sit back and watch the flames dance around inside the firebox.

You might think that it is a bit greedy to have two viewing points through which to do this, but we beg to differ. Double-sided stoves, which feature a glass panel at both the front and rear of the appliance (you can decide which is which!), have lots of great uses.

1. To install in the centre of the room

If you are installing a woodburner as a feature in the middle of a room, it would be a bit rude of it to have its back to you and your household three-quarters of the time. With a double-sided stove, you ensure that the flames can be soon from almost anywhere in the room, which wouldn’t be the case with a regular wood-burning stove.

2. To serve adjoining rooms

If you have two rooms that sit either side of a chimney breast, why not heat them both at the same time? Installing a double-sided stove means just one installation cost but the heat of a woodburner – and the view to accompany it – in two separate rooms.

Just ensure that you factor in both rooms when working out what size stove you need and you will be onto a winner.

4. To inset in a wall

While you can open up your fireplace to serve two adjoining rooms, you can equally close the fireplace off, place an inset double-sided stove within the wall of the chimney breast – at your preferred height – and still have the stove serving two very separate rooms.

4. In the hospitality trade

Do you own a restaurant, hotel or pub? If so, a double-sided stove is a great way to spread the ambiance and warmth among your clientele. People love to gather around a cosy woodburner and a double-sided appliance gives you twice as much gathering space!

5. To become truly open plan

Since the 1950s the default option has to been to ‘point’ your living room towards a television. A double-fronted stove allows you to really spread into all the space at your disposal because it becomes a new focal point for the room.

It expands your living space and allows to use all of the room more effectively.
