Hello,
...or the all-in-one solution...
We are looking for a stylish (soapstone) stove for our new build, which is still in the planning stage and has not yet started construction. The stove should help to warm up the thermal storage tank.
The location will be centrally in the living room, which is just under 40 m² (430 sq ft), connected to an open kitchen of 13 m² (140 sq ft) and a playroom/guest room with a large sliding door, also nearly 13 m² (140 sq ft).
We are interested in the Tuliviki Hiisi 4 with the W10 water heat exchanger system connected to a thermal storage tank, combined with solar thermal collectors and a gas boiler. The approximate living area is 230 m² (2,480 sq ft).
Have you had any experience with water-heated soapstone stoves?
Best regards,
Barossi

From experience, I can only advise caution when installing a stove/fireplace in a new build. Even a small fireplace can significantly disrupt the carefully balanced underfloor heating system with its heat output. In our house, we now use LED candles. When the fireplace was on, the living room temperature quickly reached 30°C (86°F)!!

In our house, we now have LED candles instead. When the fireplace was on, the living room temperature quickly reached 30°C (86°F)!! Could you share some basic details? Fireplace output, size of the living room, new build energy standard? I’m also interested in this topic.
In our case, it would be a KfW55-standard house, with an open plan living-dining-stair area of about 60 m² (650 ft²). I’m considering a 6-7 kW stove with a sandstone cladding.
I wouldn’t overestimate the room heating effect. We have a Spartherm firebox with a nominal heat output of 11 kW (37,500 BTU).
When we load it properly, the room temperature increases by about 2-3 degrees Celsius (4-5°F).
However, it’s an open living/dining area of around 75 m² (800 sq ft), with an open staircase leading upstairs and no additional heat-retaining or fireclay bricks. The fire is mainly for the visual effect. The house was built in 2014 and is approximately to KfW 55 standard.

Hello,
we are using a Brunner B4 stove with a room layout similar to the Norderney model. The B4 is equipped with an additional 3m (10 feet) of fireclay channels as a secondary heating surface. In our case, the room temperature increases by a maximum of 2-3°C (4-5°F) during a burn of 10–15 kg (22–33 lbs) of wood. Our stove has a nominal heat output of 15 kW, with about 60% of the energy transferred to the water. Thanks to the secondary heating surface, we have heat output overnight until the next morning.
Currently, we heat our new build with 230 m² (2,475 sq ft) of living space solely using the stove and solar thermal system. A gas condensing boiler only activates in emergencies. So far, we have consumed 300 m³ (10,595 cubic feet) of gas in 2015.
We installed a 1000-liter (264-gallon) buffer tank as an energy storage system, including a fresh water module for domestic hot water heating. At the moment, one burn per day is sufficient. With the great weather we are experiencing here in the Rhineland, I hardly even need to use the tiled stove… the solar system provides enough heat.
