water-bearing soapstone stove

From experience, I can only advise being cautious with a stove/fireplace in a new building. Even a small fireplace massively disrupts the carefully balanced underfloor heating with its heat output. In ours, there are now LED candles. When the fireplace was on, we quickly had 30 degrees in the living room!!

Could you write some key data? Output of the fireplace, size of the living room, NEH? I am also interested in the topic. For us, it would be a KfW55 house, open living-dining-staircase area about 60 sqm. I would imagine a 6-7 kW stove with sandstone cladding.

I would not overestimate the room heating now. We have a Spartherm combustion chamber with 11 kW nominal heat output. If we fire it properly, the room will get about 2-3 degrees warmer. But: open living/dining area of about 75 sqm, open staircase going upstairs, and no additional storage/fireclay stones. The fire is only meant to serve the appearance. The house is from 2014, about KFW 55 level.

Hello,
we use a Brunner B4 with a room layout similar to Norderney. The B4 has an additional 3m of fireclay flues as an afterheating surface. In our case too, the room heats up by a maximum of 2-3 °C during a burn of 10-15 kg of wood. Our stove has a nominal heat output of 15kW, of which about 60% goes into the water. Thanks to the afterheating surface, we have a heat output overnight until the next morning.
Currently, we heat our new building with 230m² of living space only with the stove and solar thermal energy. A gas condensing boiler only kicks in in emergencies. So far, we have consumed 300m³ of gas in 2015.
We have installed a 1000l buffer storage as an energy storage, with a fresh water module for domestic hot water heating. One burn per day is sufficient for me at the moment. With the great weather currently here in the Rhineland, I don’t even need the tiled stove... the solar system alone is enough.

Best regards
