Smoke Control Areas
The Clean Air Acts of 1956 and 1968 were introduced to tackle the increasing pollution derived from domestic and industry emissions. The Acts allowed the Local Authorities to control these smoke and fume emissions from industrial premises, as well as homes. The term “Smoke Control Areas” became known in many large towns and cities, and those living in these areas can only burn logs on fires and stoves which demonstrate particularly clean burning combustion.

Pop along to the showroom to see their Wiking stoves first hand.

On display:
Mini 2 on low base (live display)
Mini 4 with log store base and door

The bulk of the range is based upon a two different burn chamber, which are offered in different ways to suit individual requirements. All stoves feature an enormous glass window allowing an exceptional view of the fire. Stoves also have cast iron, push-shut doors and simple controls completing the package.
Modern design with ease of use
Wiking wood-burning stoves are designed using state-of-the-art techniques. This ensures uniform quality and user-friendliness that are second to none.
Wiking Automatic
In a Wiking log burner, the regulation of air during lighting and re-stocking is managed automatically through the Wiking Automatic device. This consists of a heat-sensitive bimetallic coil, which expands or contracts depending on the temperature in the wood-burning stove.
Unique closing system
Just pull the handle lightly to open the door, when the door is pushed shut, the locking hooks engage and pull the door shut. When the door is closed the handle fits flush with the solid cast iron door and maintains the stove’s clean lines.
Quality and a 5-year extended warranty
WIKING has more than 30 years of experience with the manufacture of stoves. This is your guarantee that all WIKING products meet high demands for quality, design and functionality. The stoves are produced in a high-tech production environment, using modern equipment such as laser cutting and robot welding. The entire process results in a high, uniform quality.
Using materials of the highest quality throughout the entire process Wiking stoves use soapstone from Finland.
The combustion chamber
All WIKING stoves have a highly-insulated combustion chamber of Vermiculite plates. Vermiculite is a natural material originating in Africa, which has superior insulating capacity combined with a low weight when compared to firebricks from other manufacturers. The Vermiculite plates ensure a temperature increase which is fast enough for the combustion to be clean and efficient. Clean combustion means less soot in your stove and chimney, which will safeguard the environment and reduce the risk of a fire in your chimney.
Approvals
All WIKING stoves have been tested and approved by leading European institutes. This means they meet the environmental demands of the future. All WIKING stoves are CE labelled in accordance with the European standard EN13240, the Norwegian standard SINTEF NS3058/3059 and the Austrian standard Art. 15a.
