The delivery of heat depends on the fireplace design, while its effectiveness determines overall efficiency and emissions. The timeless beauty of a traditional brick fireplace hides its function as a thermal mass heat store, retaining usable heat long after the fire has gone out.

Our woodland is asleep, and our work is done for the year However, walking through the frozen leaves, the anticipation for the explosion of life in a few short weeks is palpable Already the first signs of life are stirring, with a couple of Bluebell leaves breaking ground

There are 24.4 million households in England, and only 0.00414% complained about chimney smoke last year. Let that sink in...🤨 Every night is a clean one with a modern wood stove and good old British know how, we have cleaner air now than for centuries! It's time for common sense #GreenAirNight

To create a timeless centrepiece, low-emission updates must seamlessly blend with the splendour of British design that shaped our architecture and fireplace efficiencies. The unique warmth and appeal of a real fire, using local wood fuel, remain unmatched despite many attempts. #cleanairnight

Wood heating is a sustainable, local and weather resilient choice which has amazing benefits for biodiversity, our natural environment and physical and mental wellbeing. At Charnwood we are committed to ensure it is done well. #cleanairnight www.charnwood.com/news/out-of-...

The green credentials for efficient wood burning are dependent on locality and the many unique factors that are relative to that area. To say it's all 'false' and 'bad' is as misguided as saying it's all 'green', without exception

Certain approaches to environmental activism harm more than help, often bolstering the very systems they seek to dismantle. The greed of exploiters and the fervor of activists alike fuel our downfall. Polarising debate hinders meaningful progress that the majority yearns for.

With cleaner air in the UK now than for centuries and switching to modern wood stoves helping to improve air quality further, it's now that time of year when the emergency air quality salespeople must prove their worth to their shady backers or risk having to get proper jobs. 🙄 Let the BS begin 🤷‍♀️

Looking back at hundreds of years of chimney building makes you wonder if a modern stainless steel pipe sticking out of a bungalow can be called 'progress' In an era where sustainability and health are paramount, how do we balance beauty, functionality, and environmental impact in architecture?

A centrally positioned brick chimney breast was limiting the flow and obstructing the view. We reimagined and reconstructed it, transforming the space into a striking double-sided centrepiece. #ScarlettFireplaces #FireplaceDesign #InteriorStyle #Woodstove #ShaneNicholasDesign #LFBdevelopers

Keep the coffee coming and I'll be done in a jiffy😃 Uncovering the fireplace craftmanship of the past is my favourite day at the office. All that's needed is a modern low emission appliance and we're back in business 🤔oh wait, Charnwood C-Eight wood stove 👌 youtu.be/WTQtOzRiJdQ?...

To put visible emissions from modern wood stoves into context, look at the low level fumes coming from your gas boiler on a chilly day. Burning fossil fuel produces pollution that is harmful to health, environments and the planet. #Woodstove #airquality

Great day replacing an old illegal stove with a modern wood stove. Reducing the emissions by 75% in this 1950's property where I can see Tilbury docks and the carbon laden products being delivered from around the world, while my customer sources his fuel from next door.

The convenience of a control switch blinds us to the consequences of our energy use, this is the core problem. Efficient wood burning in the UK, paired with ancestral forestry techniques, not only reconnects us to energy but also makes ecological restoration a necessity. youtu.be/8_fZVYODavo?...
