Westfire Uniq 36 Compact Wood Burning Stove

Westfire Uniq 36 Compact Wood Burning Stove

The Westfire Uniq 36 Compact Wood Burning Stove has been carefully designed for homeowners who want commanding heat and a strong flame presence, but without the added height of a full-sized cylindrical stove. It delivers the same powerful 7.2kW performance as the standard Uniq 36, yet its lower overall proportions make it far more adaptable to a wider range of installations.

In many homes, height can be the limiting factor. Chimney beams, inglenooks or structural features often prevent taller appliances from being installed comfortably. The Uniq 36 Compact resolves this challenge beautifully. By subtly reducing the base section while retaining its distinctive curved glass door and cylindrical form, Westfire has created a stove that feels substantial and confident without dominating the vertical space.

When lit, the generous front glass window comes alive with flame movement. Logs burn vividly within the firebox, creating a natural upward flow of light that draws attention without overpowering the room. The proportions feel balanced, refined and intentional, a stove that looks equally at home in a contemporary open-plan setting as it does within a traditional chimney breast.

Despite its reduced height, there is no compromise in performance. With a nominal heat output of 7.2kW and a working range between 5kW and 8kW, the Westfire Uniq 36 Compact is more than capable of heating medium to larger living areas up to 100m². Its combustion system is engineered for efficiency, extracting maximum energy from every log and achieving 78% efficiency while maintaining impressively low emissions. Fully compliant with UK Ecodesign regulations, this stove is designed to meet modern environmental expectations without sacrificing warmth or atmosphere.

Installation flexibility extends beyond dimensions. The Uniq 36 Compact can be specified with an optional Closed Combustion (external air) configuration, allowing the appliance to draw air directly from outside via an 80mm connection. This makes it particularly well suited to newer, airtight or highly insulated homes where controlled airflow improves efficiency and overall comfort. For properties within Smoke Control Areas, a DEFRA approved version is also available, ensuring compliance when burning authorised fuels.

Although designed primarily as a wood burning stove, the Uniq 36 Compact is compatible with Westfire’s optional coal basket. This accessory enables the use of registered smokeless fuels alongside logs, offering additional flexibility for those who prefer longer burn cycles or alternative fuel options during colder periods.

Manufactured in Denmark and finished in a durable anthracite coating, the Westfire Uniq 36 Compact reflects Scandinavian attention to detail and robust construction. Its clean silhouette, curved glass door and understated styling give it a timeless appeal that will continue to look relevant for years to come.

For buyers comparing the Westfire Uniq 36 Compact with other models in the Uniq range, this version stands out as the intelligent solution where installation height matters, delivering full Uniq 36 heat output with improved versatility and refined proportions.
