Ventilation
The ventilation to provide the stove with air has to be regarded as an integral part of the flue system,
because unless the air passing through the flue is replaced with equal amounts of air entering the
house, the flue will cease to function. The cooler the outside temperature and the harder the stove
is working to maintain the required temperature inside, the cooler the incoming air and the greater
its flow. No amount of strategically positioned knitted draught excluders will overcome the laws of
physics or your discomfort if ventilation is ignored, with correctly sized and positioned ventilation not
being given the planning it deserves.
Any room or space containing an appliance should have a permanent
ventilation opening of free area at least 550mm sq. for each kW of rated output
above 5kW.
