Wood burning stoves are not being banned
There’s a growing wave of panic online saying that wood burning stoves are being outlawed — but the facts say otherwise.
Under FHS(Future Standard Homes), woodburning will still be permitted.
Yes — there are new rules to improve air quality (e.g. only Ecodesign-certified stoves can be sold, certain fuels are restricted in smoke control areas) — but that’s about responsible use, not a blanket ban.
“Those using stoves that comply with current SCA rules will not have to stop using them, Defra said.”

What this means for you
The headlines claiming “WOOD BURNING STOVES BANNED” are misleading. What’s really happening is a push for cleaner, safer wood-burning practices, which we fully endorse.
Meeting the standards
All wood burning fireplaces sold by Caleo are future proof and meet the required standards.
The potential future changes for old, non-conformant stoves gives you the opportunity to have your dream fireplace, and meet all required wood burning standards.
