The Polaris Stove Range combines a collection of beautiful cast iron fireplaces and a dedicated multi fuel inset stove.

The inset stove boasts a multi-fuel grate allowing the burning of seasoned wood or smokeless fuels, achieves outputs of 5kW, efficiencies approaching 80% and a minimum of carbon emissions.

The Polaris also hosts a convector chamber producing additional heat (cold air enters the chamber below the ashpan cover and exits warm through a vent below the canopy), a wide screen for viewing, a riddling arm and grate to disperse ash into the ashpan and has the option of a removable handle (see diagram in User manual).

The Polaris Stove Range can be installed and used in urban smoke-controlled areas due to an exemption by DEFRA in the UK and attains EcoDesign 2022 European Efficiency and Emission Requirements, a regulatory standard for use in the UK and the EU.

Mantelpieces & Hearths:

It is generally advisable to use natural stone materials for mantelpieces and hearths. Avoid using man-made materials such as micro marbles, which contain resin and could melt when using solid fuel.

Solid timber mantels on the other hand may be liable to warp or crack whilst using solid fuel and therefore man-made alternatives, such as mdf, may be more stable (check stove User manual for distance allowed to combustibles).

Natural stone hearths used with inset multi fuel stoves such as Polaris should be cut into sections to allow for expansion. CastTec offer a range of robust ‘Munro’ (bullnose edged) black granite hearths available in a honed or polished finish.
