Hello fellow wood stove owners,
My wife and I are currently planning our house. The topic of wood stoves is giving us some headaches. Due to the planned placement of our stove, we would like one with three glass panels.
However, we have a problem: on one side next to a side glass panel, we plan to have our sofa, and the distance between the stove and the sofa is only 60 cm (24 inches).
I have already read the installation instructions for various stoves. They almost always state that a minimum distance of 80 cm (31 inches) must be maintained in the radiant area of the viewing windows.
A stove fitter near us offered us the "Sendai" model from Hase. For that one, the required distance is actually only 40 cm (16 inches). Unfortunately, it is too narrow for us. The stove should be about 50 cm (20 inches) wide.
But there must be other stoves like this, right?
Does anyone have any tips for us? That would be great.

Take a look at the HWAM 2630c.
Although the stove is only 43 cm (17 inches) wide, it requires a side clearance of just 36 cm (14 inches) to a combustible wall, despite having two additional glass panels on the right and left.
You can find this information on the manufacturer’s website under the download section labeled "Operating Instructions" for the respective stove.
This stove holds a DiBT certification as well as the IHS system.
Best regards,
Dirk

@totti: If it looks like your sketch, you can build it as shown. However, the stove should not have a window facing the sofa.
It is also important that the stove door opens on the right side when viewed from the front, so you can store wood on the left and easily load it in (since the sofa is on the right).
We have our stove set up the same way you plan. About 30-40cm (12-16 inches) behind the stove on the wall is an expensive speaker. I placed a thermometer on it once, and the temperature was no more than 2-3°C (4-5°F) warmer than the rest of the room.
Attached are 3 pictures showing how it looks in our home (taken right after installation). The stove is called "poleo 106 by attika."
Our wood box is located to the right of the stove.
PS: Keep in mind fire-resistant flooring if you don’t have tiles (like we do).

DirkA very important point from Dirk.
DiBT certification makes sense if you have a mechanical ventilation system with heat recovery and a wood-burning stove. It saved me the cost of a negative pressure monitor.

My stove weighs around 300 kg (660 lbs). As a precaution, I had significantly more screed applied in the area around the stove to be on the safe side. No extra costs, the screed installer just did it that way.

Regarding the glass panel, it concerns his sofa. If it is directly next to the fireplace, the glass panel would cause the sofa to tip over.
If there is a glass panel, it should be designed so that the built-in fireplace can be raised high as well (the fireplace is not meant to stand directly on the base). Hi,
a) You are right, I agree. In this specific case, it wouldn't work optimally.
b) I don’t understand why the fireplace shouldn’t be allowed to stand on the glass panel.
There are special glass panels designed exactly for this purpose. One was used in my case by the fireplace installer, with the agreement of the building surveyor/planning authority.

Hey, first of all, many thanks to everyone who replied.
So, it definitely needs to have triple glazing. The question is just about the distance to the sofa.
We have now set our sights on the Contura 596 Style.
They say a distance of 50cm (20 inches) should be enough. Also, the viewing windows are high enough that the heat would radiate over the back of the sofa.
Now we’re also considering whether to get the model with a rotating base.
Does anyone know this stove in general or the brand?
