Westfire Uniq 45 Wood Burning Stove
Raised Firebox Design with Scandinavian Craftsmanship
The Westfire Uniq 45 Wood Burning Stove is a striking contemporary wood burner that combines practical heating performance with elegant Danish design. Developed as a natural evolution of the Uniq range, this model introduces a raised fire chamber with an integrated log store, giving the stove a taller, more architectural presence while placing the flames perfectly at eye level for maximum enjoyment.
With its slim profile, refined anthracite finish and balanced proportions, the Uniq 45 works effortlessly as a freestanding feature in modern homes, yet looks just as at home within more traditional interiors. It’s a stove designed not just to heat a room, but to enhance it.
Eye-Level Flames for Greater Impact
What immediately sets the Uniq 45 apart is its elevated firebox. Sitting above a neatly integrated log store, the fire is raised to a more natural viewing height, creating a richer and more immersive flame experience when seated. The large portrait glass window provides a clear, uninterrupted view of the fire, turning the flames into a focal point rather than something viewed from above.
A powerful airwash system keeps the glass cleaner for longer by directing airflow across the inside of the window, reducing soot build-up and ensuring the fire always looks its best with minimal maintenance.
Efficient Heating for Everyday Living
The Uniq 45 offers a nominal heat output of 5kW, making it ideal for small to medium-sized rooms. With a controllable output range of 4 to 7kW, it provides flexibility to suit different room sizes and heating needs without overwhelming the space. In most standard installations, additional ventilation is not normally required.
Its efficient combustion design ensures excellent heat delivery while keeping fuel usage economical, making it a sensible choice for regular, everyday heating throughout the colder months.
Convection Stove – Perfect for Open Spaces
Designed with a convection body, the Uniq 45 distributes heat gently and evenly around the room rather than radiating intense heat directly from the stove’s surface. Cooler air is drawn in at the base, heated within the insulated chamber, and released gradually into the room. This creates a more even temperature and results in a cooler external surface, making the stove particularly well suited to open-plan layouts and family homes.
The cool-touch handle further improves usability, allowing safe refuelling even while the stove is operating.
Clean Burning & Future-Ready
Fully Ecodesign compliant, the Uniq 45 meets the latest UK and European emissions standards introduced in 2022. This ensures lower emissions, improved efficiency and a cleaner burn overall. When used with properly seasoned wood, it provides an environmentally responsible way to heat your home.
For properties in Smoke Control Areas, a DEFRA Smoke Exempt (SE) version is available, allowing legal wood burning in towns and cities. An optional external air (closed combustion) system can also be specified, making the stove compatible with modern, airtight or well-insulated homes.
Built for Longevity & Ease of Use
Manufactured from heavy-duty, high-quality steel, the Uniq 45 is built for long-term reliability. The insulated fire chamber improves heat retention and efficiency, while the precise air controls allow smooth, responsive adjustment of the burn rate.
The integrated log store is both practical and visually appealing, keeping logs and kindling close at hand while contributing to the stove’s tall, balanced appearance.
Flexible Installation Options
The Uniq 45 can be installed with either a top or rear flue connection and is suitable for use with a glass floor plate. Sensible clearances to combustible materials make it easier to incorporate into a variety of room layouts, whether you’re installing into an existing fireplace or creating a new freestanding feature.
Optional accessories, such as a coal basket, allow approved smokeless fuels to be burned if desired, offering longer burn times and added flexibility.
A Stylish Upgrade with Everyday Practicality
The Westfire Uniq 45 Wood Burning Stove is an excellent choice for homeowners who want something a little more distinctive than a standard floor-mounted stove. Its raised design, efficient performance and refined Scandinavian styling make it equally appealing to first-time stove buyers and those upgrading from an older appliance.
Delivering warmth, ambience and thoughtful design in equal measure, the Uniq 45 is a stove that looks as good as it performs.
Optional Coal Basket & Closed Combustion Ducting Kits
The Westfire Uniq 45 offers a choice of optional extras that allow the stove to be adapted to different living spaces. An optional coal basket can be added to provide limited flexibility for mixed-fuel use, enabling a small quantity of approved smokeless fuel to be burned alongside logs. For homes with higher levels of insulation, the stove can also be equipped with a closed combustion ducting kit, drawing air directly from outside the property rather than the room. This outside air kit is supplied with an 80mm diameter duct and a 100cm length, helping to support efficient operation and improved air quality indoors.
