DESIGNED FOR MODERN LIVING
Experience the Difference with Scandia External Air Wood Fires
Scandia wood fires – with optional External Air – combine design, engineering excellence and environmental responsibility; helping you create a comfortable, efficient home without compromise.
Why choose External Air?
Â
Modern homes are designed to be airtight and energy-efficient, often incorporating features like double glazing and other passive design principles. That’s great for energy savings, but it can impact the performance of your traditional wood fire.
How does External Air work?
Traditional wood fires draw air from inside your room. In sealed or well-insulated spaces, this may limit combustion, resulting in inefficient burning. Scandia’s External Air system delivers a dedicated supply of oxygen from outside, straight to the firebox – creating an efficient, consistent, cleaner fire regardless of your indoor air capacity.
BENEFITS OF EXTERNAL AIR

Better Indoor Air Quality A traditional wood fire draws air from inside the room; this can pull in dust, smoke or cold draughts from cracks, floors and vents. With External Air, you will have no loss of internal oxygen or negative air pressure. Your home will be fresher with fewer draughts. |
