If you’re captivated by the stunning contemporary styling of the ESSE 125, but need a stove with bit more muscle to heat a larger living space, you’ve just found exactly the model you’re looking for.

With its “cubist” flame-box view, and highly distinctive cylindrical pillar design, this really is an exceptionally eye-catching stove, even for an ESSE. And you can choose whether you prefer the pillared legs in black, to match the stove body, or in contrasting stainless steel.

In terms of heating performance, the 225 definitely won’t disappoint you – delivering an impressive 7.5kW, with exceptional energy-efficiency. And because of that hefty output, installation – with either a top or rear flue – requires an external air-kit or additional room vent.

Clean-burning comes as standard with ESSE; but what you burn is up to you – thanks to a cleverly designed twin position grate, for wood or mineral fuel.

If you prefer, you can even opt for the instantly controllable convenience of gas, with incredibly life-like log-effect flames. You’ll find details of our Gas 225 model here.
