In the past when purchasing a solid fuel slow combustion heater there was only two options available to the home owner, either a freestanding heater or an inbuilt heater which had to be installed into an existing masonry fireplace.

Alpine Wood Heating now offers a third option, a fully tested and approved Zero Clearance inbuilt heater giving the heater purchaser the ability to install and inbuilt heater where traditionally only a freestanding heater could be used. This has been accomplished by manufacturing a heater, which can be positioned virtually touching a combustible wall, and then building a stud framed chimney breast around the heater. The building of the chimney breast can be easily accomplished by the handy man leaving only the final installation of the heater to be completed by a plumber. Different fascias and cast iron inserts are available ensuring that all tastes are catered for.
