Technical documents

Room-setting detail

Strong brick pattern with a restrained timber finish

In this setting, the vertical chamber is lined with herringbone brickwork and capped by a natural timber beam. The dark stove sits against the patterned surface without competing with it, offering one reference point for balancing material, opening height and appliance scale.

A suitable combination of stove, chamber lining, beam and hearth can only be confirmed after the opening, clearances, flue and surrounding materials have been assessed.

Before quotation

What to settle before specifying Heta Ambition 5 Wood Burning Stove

A rear connection is listed for an optional direct combustion-air supply. Whether it should be used, and how it can be routed, needs to be considered with the appliance, flue and fabric of the property.

Ventilation must be specified for the actual room and appliance under the Building Regulations in force at the time of installation. The survey should establish whether a direct-air connection or permanent room ventilation is required.

An honest steer

How it compares with similar models

Heta also build this stove on a log store base, listed on the old range as the Ambition 5 Log Store. It is the same 4.9kW stove raised on a store, not a different model.

Choose Ambition 5 over Inspire 45 for the wider contemporary face and direct air emphasis. Choose Ambition 8 only where the room can use the larger output.

Fitting it locally

Fitting the Heta Ambition 5 Wood Burning Stove in West Midlands homes

A useful option for Birmingham, Solihull and Sutton Coldfield projects where the room has been renovated and the stove needs to look clean and current.
