Charnwood South Africa

Charnwood South Africa Charnwood South Africa are importers and wholesalers to trade of British made Charnwood stoves. A good quality stove will last you a lifetime.

Closed combustion 'stoves' are all the rage in South Africa these days but that has been the case in Europe for several decades.

'Closing' your fireplace basically means you burn less fuel for more heat than a traditional open fire place or 'Hex' style steel fireplace. They also burn 'cleaner' because the higher temperatures generated inside a stove burn more of the waste, volatile gases that w

ould normally be expelled into the atmosphere. South Africa is an ideal climate for a stove as it can provide you with the warmth you need to take the edge off winter. Our homes here are built to keep us cool in summer - not warm in winter so a stove will keep you comfortable until the sun returns! There are plenty of brands available. Lower budget and higher budget. We believe that any important purchase should only be done once which is why we import the Charnwood brand - www.charnwood.com.

Eight Colours. One Brand. Nowhere Else.

Take two minutes and walk through the full Charnwood colour range with us:

• Bronze
• Pewter
• Green
• Brown
• Gunmetal Grey
• Blue
• Almond
• Black

These eight colours are exclusive to Charnwood. You won't find them on any other stove, from any other brand — they exist on Charnwood and nowhere else.

And they're not paint. Each colour is a high-heat silicone-based coating that hardens and cures as the stove is fired, bonding to the steel as it reaches extreme temperatures. The result is a finish built to live with fire, not just sit next to it.

We apply the exact same coatings used in the Charnwood factory in the UK — identical product, identical finish, applied right here. Please allow a two to three week lead time for us to colour your stove.

Choose your colour. We'll do the rest.

The Charnwood Aire 5 sits perfectly at the heart of this eco-home — proof that small spaces deserve big performance. With Ecodesign-ready clean burn technology, the Aire 5 delivers more heat from less fuel, dramatically reducing emissions and particulates while getting the very most out of every log.

That efficiency is exactly why it belongs in a tiny home. When every square metre counts, you need a stove that's compact, beautifully engineered, and kind to the environment you're choosing to tread lightly on.

Charnwood's airwash system keeps the glass clear so nothing comes between you and the flame, and the low fuel consumption means less wood, less waste, and a warmer, more self-sufficient home.

Wooncube builds for a lifestyle that values quality over quantity — and the Aire 5 shares that ethos completely. Fewer things, better made, built to last.

This is what sustainable warmth looks like.

"Flame pattern technology" sounds like marketing fluff.

Then you watch it happen.

This is 8K slow motion inside a Charnwood Skye E700. What you're seeing isn't accidental — it's Charnwood's patented flame pattern technology, engineered airflow that shapes how the fire moves, rolls and holds across the glass.

The result is a fire that behaves like a fire should. Deep, unhurried, alive. Not a flicker behind a window. A room's worth of atmosphere from a stove that's still doing its real job — burning clean and burning efficiently.

Some things you can't sell in a spec sheet. You have to stand in front of them.

Buy once. Buy well.

What size stove does your room actually need? 🔥

Too small and you'll be feeding it all night. Too big and it smoulders away, dirtying the glass and wasting wood.

Our new Heat Need Calculator takes the guesswork out. Tell it about your space — where you live, room size, walls, windows, ceiling — and in under two minutes it calculates exactly how much heat your room loses on a cold winter night, then matches you with the right Charnwood.

Built on the same heat-loss method professional heating engineers use, tuned for South African homes and winters. 🇿🇦

These heat shields were a bit of promotional fun from the UK factory a few years back.

Fitted to a Cove 2 which we recently painted in Blue at the warehouse. The colour really sets them off nicely. They are vitreous enamel coated so capable of taking the heat.

Heat shields are an optional extra to reduce radiant heat hitting sensitive surfaces nearby. Ideal solution for small spaces where your stove needs to be closer to a heat sensitive material than the recommended 500mm allows. The shields can still be purchased but not with the flag design 😏

Heat shields are one of many innovations from to elevate your options from the mainstream appliances available in the market.

Five facts about Charnwood appliances that you probably didn't know.

1) Patents. Charnwood own multiple patents on technologies that are not available on other products in the market. From air control to flame technology, these patents guarantee a unique experience for the user.

2) Steel. The steel used on Charnwood appliances is certified S275 grade British steel. This grade of steel is used in structural engineering and has high tensile strength and resiliance to heat making it ideal for building strong fireboxes. Side note: the cast iron components on Charnwood stoves are also fabricated in the UK.

3) Welds. MIG welds are quite common on woodburning heaters but not robot MIG welds. This added technology ensures a uniform and consistently clean weld. Thicker and stronger. This makes the firebox on a Charnwood stove maintenance free and is why the factory can guarantee it for 10 years.

4) Vermiculite. The consistency of the Vermiculite board in Charnwood stoves is unique. It is heat-pressed and more dense that local Vermiculite boards in SA (20% heavier). This allows the brick to be molded to form unique patterns that improve airflow and create some amazing flame action.

5) Accreditation. Charnwood hold three ISO accreditations. ISO9001. ISO14001. ISO45001. This means that products leaving the factory are made to the highest standards ensuring consistent quality, ethical manufacturing and environmental responsibility.

This Arc 7 in Charnwood "Bronze" came out beautifully. Hard to capture the metallic finish on camera which has a different sheen as the light hits it.

Super efficient clean heat and looks to boot.

Ask your closest Charnwood distributor for details on our colour options.
