Stovax Riva Studio 2 Inset Wood Stove

The Stovax Riva Studio 2 Inset Wood Burning Stove is a beautifully refined heating solution that brings both warmth and visual impact to any living room. Designed to sit flush within a standard fireplace opening or larger chimney breast, it offers a genuinely seamless installation without the need for major structural alterations. The result is a contemporary focal point that feels considered and permanent rather than simply bolted in.

At the heart of its appeal is the striking black glass door set within a clean, minimal steel surround. The frameless aesthetic gives an almost uninterrupted view of the fire, letting the flames do the talking. The generously sized firebox accepts logs up to 500mm in length, reducing the frequency of refuelling and making for a more relaxed experience on colder evenings.

Beneath its sleek exterior, the Riva Studio 2 is a genuinely capable performer. It delivers a nominal heat output of 8kW alongside an efficiency rating of up to 80%, making it well suited to heating a substantial room without waste. Stovax's clean burn technology keeps combustion efficient and emissions low, while the integrated airwash system continuously circulates warm air across the glass to prevent soot build-up and maintain that unobstructed flame view.

Wood burning is widely recognised as a carbon-neutral fuel source, with the CO₂ released during combustion broadly equivalent to that absorbed by the tree during its lifetime. Choosing the Riva Studio 2 is therefore as much an environmentally considered decision as it is an aesthetic one — a stove that performs beautifully and sits comfortably within a responsible approach to home heating.
