Guides from the showroom
In our guides, we are gradually answering the questions we are asked most often in the showroom in Ausbüttel: may my old wood-burning stove continue to be used? How much output do I need in a new build, and how much in an older building? Wood-burning stove, pellet stove, heat-storage stove or fireplace insert – which suits me?
You will find answers to many more questions under “FAQ”. Our Stove Finder shows you suitable models, and the “Stoves A–Z” overview lists all manufacturers and model ranges. And if you would rather talk in person: we advise you as specialist consultants – not as salespeople – in our showroom on the B4.
Bring warmth into your home.
Let us find the fireplace together that perfectly suits your home.
