The Cast Tec Polaris Multi-Fuel Inset Stove combines traditional cast iron styling with the efficiency and control of a modern inset stove. Designed to fit within a suitable fireplace opening, its distinctive arched profile makes it particularly well suited to period-style fireplaces and Cast Tec Integra cast iron inserts.
With a nominal heat output of 4.6kW when burning wood and 4.8kW with anthracite, the Polaris is suitable for many small to medium-sized rooms. Its multi-fuel grate allows either seasoned wood or suitable smokeless fuel to be used.
Traditional Arched Inset Design
The Polaris features a gently arched cast iron front that gives it a more decorative appearance than a conventional square inset stove.
It is available in a choice of Matt Black or Polished finish, allowing the stove to be coordinated with different fireplace styles.
Designed For Fireplace Installations
The inset format allows the Polaris to sit neatly within a suitable fireplace opening and makes it a practical option for replacing a traditional open fire with a more controllable heating appliance.
It is also designed to complement Cast Tec’s Integra cast iron inserts for a coordinated period fireplace installation.
Multi-Fuel Capability
An integrated multi-fuel grate allows the Polaris to burn both seasoned wood and suitable smokeless fuels, providing flexibility over the type of fuel used.
Heat Output
Nominal heat output varies according to the fuel being burned:
- Wood: 4.6kW
- Anthracite: 4.8kW
Fuel Efficiency
The supplied technical specification lists the following efficiency figures:
- Wood Efficiency: 76.8%
- Smokeless Fuel Efficiency: 79.2%
Convection Chamber
An integrated convection chamber helps circulate heat into the room by drawing in cooler air around the stove, warming it and releasing heated air through vents positioned above the door.
Airwash System
The secondary Airwash system directs air across the inside of the glass to help reduce soot deposits and maintain a clearer view of the flames during normal use.
Primary Air Control
A primary air control located on the stove door helps with ignition and allows the combustion rate to be adjusted during use.
External Riddling Control
An external riddling control allows ash to be shaken through the multi-fuel grate and into the ashpan, helping make ash management more straightforward when burning suitable solid fuels.
DEFRA Smoke Control Exempt
The Polaris is DEFRA smoke control exempt, allowing wood to be burned in smoke control areas when the stove is installed and operated in accordance with the manufacturer’s requirements.
EcoDesign Ready
The Polaris is listed as EcoDesign Ready, combining traditional cast iron styling with modern combustion performance.
Top Flue Connection
The stove uses a 125mm / 5″ top flue outlet for connection to a suitable chimney or flue system.
