Stoves for Small Spaces
People who choose to install a pellet stove at home do so because they are aware of the economic and ecological benefits that this natural heating system provides. However, especially for those living in apartments, the fear of not having enough space to install the stove often leads them to abandon this option. This is completely wrong.
In the market, you can find small pellet stoves that can be placed in a corridor, in the corners of your home, or even in the space where there was once an open fireplace or an old inefficient stove. Despite their small size, they are capable of providing the same warmth as a standard-sized stove.
Small Pellet Stoves: Where Can I Place Them?
Many homes, especially older ones, already have a fireplace. More than a source of heat, it is rarely used and often remains off because it is inefficient, difficult to light, and sometimes even banned by pollution regulations in many municipalities due to the high emissions of smoke and fine particles. Replacing the old fireplace with a pellet stove can therefore be a very convenient and efficient solution.
In this case, however, you need a pellet insert or a small pellet stove, which can be easily installed inside the fireplace.
Opting for a small pellet stove to replace an open fireplace gives you two advantages:
- You use an otherwise unused space.
- You can use the existing flue without additional work.
- You get the comfort effect not only from the stove’s operation but also from its appearance.
Many interior designers recommend this solution in their projects, even creating a specific niche, if one doesn’t already exist, that simulates a fireplace space where you can fit a small stove.
Small pellet stoves are also characterized by the flue exhaust being on the top. This allows them to be installed within an existing fireplace and connected easily to the already present flue. This also reduces the space required for installation, so if you’re looking for a compact pellet stove, this is certainly the ideal solution.
Space-Saving Pellet Stoves
As an alternative, you can opt for flat or corner pellet stoves.
- Ultra-flat stoves are perfect for installation in a corridor or a narrow space. They have a reduced depth, are less bulky than a traditional radiator, and have clean, minimalist lines that fit perfectly into the environment where they are placed. You can place them anywhere there is space, even close to the wall, thanks to the flue exhaust on the top.
- If you want to make use of a corner in your home that would otherwise remain empty, you can opt for a round pellet stove. These contemporary-looking models are perfect for filling unused spaces.
Compact size, powerful performance
Small pellet stoves can also meet the energy needs of your family. It’s not the size, but the power and efficiency that ensure you get the warmth you need.
