Smoke Control Areas

labelsThe 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.

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

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.

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.
