Stovax Riva2 50 Freestanding Wood Burning Stove - A New Standard in Modern Heating
The Stovax Riva2 50 Freestanding Wood Burning Stove brings a fresh level of refinement to modern home heating, offering a striking blend of clean-lined design, superior engineering and mesmerising flame presentation. Created for homeowners who want to enjoy the beauty of a real fire without compromising on efficiency, the Riva2 50 stands proudly as one of the most elegant and technologically advanced stoves in Stovax’s premium Riva2 collection.
At its heart is a beautifully wide, landscape-style viewing window that frames the flames like a live piece of artwork. Whether glowing gently during a quiet evening or burning brightly on winter nights, the firebox showcases the warmth and movement of real logs with superb clarity. This stove immediately becomes the visual anchor of any room, bringing character and atmosphere to both contemporary and traditional homes.
Crafted with precision steel panels and a refined architectural form, the Riva2 50 is more than a heating source—it is a centrepiece that enhances the interior styling of any space. Its balanced proportions and minimalist detail ensure it sits comfortably in modern living rooms, loft-style apartments, renovated period houses and everything in between. With a choice of practical, design-led accessories, including stylish wooden legs, robust cast-iron feet or a spacious log store, this model can be tailored to your preferred aesthetic with ease.
Beyond appearance, the Riva2 50 is built for serious performance. Producing a 5kW nominal heat output, this stove is ideal for average-sized living areas, providing consistent warmth without overpowering the room. Enhanced combustion technology ensures that heat is delivered efficiently, extracting maximum warmth from every log while keeping emissions exceptionally low. This clean-burning performance allows the Riva2 50 to meet the strict requirements of both Ecodesign and DEFRA smoke-control approval, ensuring it can be enjoyed legally and responsibly in any UK town or city.
One of the Riva2 50’s standout innovations is its meticulously engineered airflow system. Fresh air is directed with precision to maintain a bright flame picture and cleaner glass, even during extended use. This means you can settle in and enjoy the view without constantly tending the fire or wiping the window. The stove’s simple yet responsive controls make it easy to adjust flame intensity and heat output, from a cosy, low glow to a vibrant flame display.
The stove has been specifically designed for wood burning only, allowing homeowners to benefit from the authentic crackle and unmistakable ambience that seasoned logs bring. The deep firebox accepts longer logs for extended burn times, reducing the need for frequent refuelling. Thanks to the integrated external air connection, the stove draws air directly from outside, making it an excellent choice for passive homes and newly built, well-insulated properties where maintaining air balance is important.
Installation options are equally flexible. Whether positioned on a minimalist 12mm hearth, elevated on a Stovax bench or showcased atop a dedicated log box, the Riva2 50 can be adapted to suit a wide range of interior layouts. With its 5” top-exit flue connection and thoughtful proportions, it fits comfortably in living rooms of varying sizes without dominating the space.
Backed by Stovax’s decades of British innovation and stringent manufacturing standards, the Riva2 50 Freestanding stove offers not only premium aesthetics and outstanding functionality but also long-term durability. Built to last and engineered to perform year after year, it’s an investment that brings enduring warmth, luxury and style to your home.
