Charnwood – Aire 7 Low Stand

SIA 2022 Eco-Design Ready - This fireplace meets and exceeds the Eco-Design 2022 requirements for burning both wood and smokeless fuel. The Eco-Design scheme aims to reduce harmful emissions and it will become mandatory in Europe for all stoves on the 1 January 2022. Eco-Design stoves can offer a 90% reduction in particulates released when compared to an open fire, and a 80-94% reduction when compared to an old fireplace. In South Africa it is not a requirement to have an Eco-Design Ready appliance; however, those who are concerned by the impact of their consumer choices on the environment are choosing Eco-Design 2022 Ready appliances. A fireplace for now, and for the future!

ClearSkies - An independent emissions and energy performance accreditation mark for solid fuel stoves in the U.K. It builds on Eco-Design 2022 to help lower emissions and improve air quality. This fireplace meets and exceeds Eco-Design regulation standards. There are 5 accreditation levels, with 5 being the best improvement on Eco-Design.

ClearSkies 5 – At least a 30% improvement on the minimum Eco-Design 2022 criteria. The highest accreditation level, and DEFRA Exempt.

Defra Approved Stove - A Defra approved stove is an industry term for a smoke exempt fireplace which has been approved to burn specific fuels in a smoke-controlled area that would usually not be allowed (i.e., wood). The appliance has a factory-fitted modification to the Secondary air control to prevent closure beyond a 10mm open position.

The Aire 7 is a revolutionary, new, wood-burning stove with an oversized window design that maximises your view of the fire. It’s perfect for heating small spaces such as a small cottage or flatlet; a home office or a cabin. Its minimal design comfortably fits into virtually any interior space whether it be freestanding or within a traditional fireplace hearth. It’s manufactured out of boiler plate steel and comes with a cast iron door and top, and a ‘warm-to the touch’ handle for safe and easy loading. The handle blends into the side of the stove when the door is closed. The Aire 7 has all the features of both the Aire 3 and Aire 5 and it’s also reasonably priced when compared to the Premium Charnwood Arc and Island. It’s an excellent value for money stove.

The Aire 7 features Cleanburn Air Wash technology with a crystal-clear burn. It has remarkable air control with the easy to regulate ‘push-in and pull-out’ Quattro Flow Air Intake, which is an air management system using a single control to manage the burning rate of the fire. The sizable combustion chamber comfortably burns 39cm logs. There is no grate as it comes with a ‘sliding fire bed - ashpan’ for clean and easy ash removal. Logs are burnt directly on this double insulated ‘Ashpan’. The drop-down throat plate enables chimney sweeping via the fireplace, and there is a pre-fitted external air intake option to maximise heat retention in your room and maintain a good ‘draw’ in your chimney. This improves the operation and heat output of your stove, especially if you are already invested in making your home heat efficient. The Aire embodies what matters most to Charnwood – clean, efficient, easy to operate, beautiful in any room and responsible to the environment. The Aire steers users towards sustainable and carbon neutral fuel sources such as responsibly sourced wood.

The Aire can be pre-ordered with an ‘optional flue boiler and a vertical rear flue adapter. It comes standard in black, with a choice of 7 extra ‘special order’ colours.

It is SIA Eco-Design 2022 Ready, comes with a clearSkies level 5 rating, and it is Defra certified. Imported from the Isle of Wight, the U.K. and comes with a 10-year limited guarantee.
