Wood stove: comfort, ambience, efficient backup heating
To complement your main heating or warm a living room: high-efficiency log stoves, closed hearths and inserts. Stûv, Skantherm, Jotul brands, OPair 2018 compliant.
Why choose this solution
80-90% efficiency
Modern double-combustion models (Stûv 30, Skantherm Beat) recover gases from the first burn: 4x more efficient than traditional open hearths.
Local affordable fuel

OPair 2018 compliant
All our stoves meet Swiss particulate limits: emissions under 40 mg/m³ (strict GE/VD cantonal standard).
Comfort & aesthetics
Beyond heating: a stove is a centerpiece of the living room. Panoramic glass, cast iron or soapstone inertia, Swedish or Belgian design.
Who is this for?
