The s16-Z allows you to integrate a wood fireplace into the heart of your living space, even when space is limited. Thanks to its insulated enclosure and shallow depth, it can be installed without complex construction work and without visible convection grilles. A solution designed to bring your project to life, whether in new builds or renovations.



This zero-clearance fireplace is available in three sizes. For more information, download the technical sheet and installation manuals.

Steel finishing frames provide an elegant finish and help enhance the presence of the fireplace in the space. They are available in StûvGrey finish for the 58, 68, and 78 formats.
Heat is returned to the room through an opening located between the combustion chamber and the Stûv 16 casing. No fan is required, as convection occurs through natural gravity.

An opening located beneath the appliance is specifically designed to connect an external air intake directly to the combustion chamber. The fire draws oxygen from outside the house, thereby ensuring optimal combustion.

A mobile smoke deflector opens and closes with the door on the Stûv 16. When the door is open, it allows smoke to escape, preventing backflow into the room. When the door is closed, the deflector slows the evacuation of smoke, promoting a second combustion of gases within the appliance.

A small spring is positioned at the bottom of the door to ensure it closes when released. The door, when partially closed, creates an air-blowing effect on the flames that promotes combustion and prevents sparks or embers from falling onto the floor.

The hinged door of the Stûv 16 features two hooks to ensure its strength and further improve the airtightness of the combustion chamber.

The air required for combustion comes directly from under through an outside air intake connector specially designed for the s16-Z model.
Air injectors at the top of the combustion chamber allow for a second combustion of the gases, reducing fine particles emissions into the air.
Once the gases have burned, they are evacuated through the flue pipe.
The sweeping air flow removes dust from the glass due to combustion, providing a perfect view of the flames.
The air is taken from the room and heated by the unit, the convection air circulates along the combustion chamber and absorbs the heat.
The heated air comes out naturally from unit and distributes a comforting warmth into the room.

Vue Sutton featuring a s16-Z 78 A beautiful piece of land calls for a project that is not pretentious, one that leaves all the space to the surrounding nature, trees and valleys. Inspired by the site and the idea of a dialogue between the exterior and the interior, the architectural intention was to develop a […]
