Heat Accumulation Stoves
Heat Accumulation Stoves - High Thermal Mass Fireplaces for Long-Lasting Warmth
Eco-efficient wood-burning stoves for sustained heat release and modern living
Vitcas offers a dedicated selection of materials for constructing heat accumulation stoves, also known as heat storage fireplaces. These systems are designed to absorb, store, and gradually release heat, ensuring consistent warmth and high energy efficiency in domestic settings.
How heat accumulation stoves work
Unlike conventional stoves, heat accumulation models are built with high thermal mass materials such as cast iron or dense refractory ceramics, which retain thermal energy during combustion. Once the fire has gone out, the stove continues to emit stored heat over an extended period. This delayed heat release transforms the stove into an efficient, passive heating system and an attractive central feature in any living room.
Sustainable and cost-effective heating
These modern fireplaces offer a sustainable alternative to electric or gas heating. By maximising fuel efficiency and reducing heat loss, heat accumulation stoves help lower energy costs and minimise environmental impact. They are ideal for eco-conscious homeowners seeking both performance and design appeal.
