Installation Flexibility and Options
Modular Configuration Benefits
The adaptable design accommodates various building configurations. Whether working with slanted roofs or requiring additional height for proper draft, extension pieces allow customization:
- 500mm sections for minor adjustments
- 1000mm pieces for standard ceiling heights
- 1500mm complete assemblies for full installations
For heavy-duty applications and commercial installations, consider our Harvia Pro Wood Stoves designed for demanding professional environments.
Material Selection Considerations
