Woodburners get the green light
Dik Geurts Bora Corner wood stove
UK government approves continued use of modern, effi cient wood burning stoves and fi res in new build homes.
D
RU is the Netherlands-based manufacturer of Dik Geurts woodburning stoves and fi res and the UK distributor of Spartherm wood stoves and fi res.
The company is pleased to share some reassuring news for anyone considering a wood burning stove or fi re for their new build home.
The UK Government has confi rmed that, under the proposed Future Homes Standard, people in new build properties can continue to install and use modern, effi cient wood burning appliances. This important clarifi cation,
prompted
by strong industry representation led by the Stove Industry Association (SIA), means that wood burning stoves will remain a part of the UK’s future housing landscape as an important source of low-carbon, sustainable heating.
Modern wood stoves are not only highly
effi cient and low in emissions, but they also provide fl exible, reliable heat, even during power outages. With an Ecodesign compliant stove, using prepared wood and responsible
properly burning practices, homeowners can enjoy Dik Geurts Vidar Triple wood stove
all the benefi ts of real wood fi res. They will also have complete peace of mind that their wood stove or fi re can be used for the foreseeable future.
