Modern pellet stoves are gaining more and more popularity as heating solutions for domestic environments. In addition to their primary function of providing heat, these stoves also stand out as furnishing elements, especially in social areas such as a living room, hall, study or kitchen.
In this article, we will take a look at the different types of pellet stoves, the various models, and provide some tips for choosing the right one for you
Pellets are a fuel made from wood, dried and compacted, with a high calorific value, making it a regenerable, clean and efficient resource.
When we say that pellets are made from wood, we mean that they are made from wood waste such as wood chips and sawdust. This waste, before being processed, undergoes drying, which reduces its internal moisture content. In fact, for maximum heat yield, the moisture content must not exceed a certain threshold, which is why the pellets must be stored in a dry, low-humidity place. After being dried, these wood scraps are compressed mechanically, which is why the pellets are usually in the shape of small cylinders or small ovals. Mechanical compression avoids the use of glues or chemical adhesives. The better a pellet is pressed, the higher its quality.
Ventilated, ducted or hydro: La Nordica-Extraflame offers solutions for every need.
Ventilated stoves are designed to heat the room in which they are placed through powerful but silent ventilation systems for maximum thermal and acoustic comfort.
If the need is to heat several rooms simultaneously, ducted stoves are the ideal choice. These models diffuse heat into the room in which they are placed and transmit it via pipes and ducts to adjacent rooms.
A third alternative are heating stoves, appliances that allow you to heat the radiators in your home when connected to the plumbing system, replacing the traditional boiler. Moreover, thanks to the diffusion of heat by radiation, the heating stove also heats and furnishes the room in which it is installed.
For a correct assessment of your home configuration and living needs, our advice is to rely on the advice of specialised technicians.
Pellet stoves are not only a source of heating for your home but also an element of décor.
In our range there are ones for all tastes, in different shapes, colours and sizes. You can find the more classic and rustic ones, but also the more modern ones, those with traditional or more unusual shapes, such as round or slim. There are also many covers to choose from: from refined hand-made majolica to painted steel and durable cast iron.

Slim stoves are characterised by their reduced depth, which makes them ideal in various small space situations, such as a hallway or entrance hall.
This makes it possible to optimise every space in the house!
