Engineering the Stûv 16
Behind these perfectly straight lines lie ingenious mechanisms ensuring optimal operation and breathtaking views.
Fire in its purest form. Equipped with Single Burn Rate (SBR) automatic control, these models are incredibly easy to use: no air damper to manipulate, just light the logs and enjoy.
Stûv goes to great lengths to hide the mechanics. There are no visible handles. A simple, elegant removable key serves as the tool to open the hinged door safely.
Heat is returned to the room through a discreet opening. No noisy fan is required since convection happens naturally by gravity, wrapping the room in a gentle warmth.

Frequently Asked Questions
Planning a Stûv 16 installation in North America.
What is the difference between the 16-in and the 16-Z?
Both are fireplaces (inserts). The 16-In is designed to slide directly into an exisiting masonry hearth. The 16-Z is a zero clearance fireplace that is designed to be framed seamlessly on an existing or new wall.
Insert or Fireplace: Which One Should You Choose?
The 16-In model is designed to fit directly into an existing masonry fireplace opening. The 16-Z model is a zero-clearance fireplace designed to be seamlessly integrated into an existing or newly built wall.
How do I choose between the 58, 68, and 78 sizes?
The numbers refer to the width of the appliance in centimeters. The right choice depends on your room volume (heating area), aesthetic proportions, and the length of logs you prefer to burn (from 17" up to 25"). Bring your room dimensions to our showroom, and we will calculate the perfect fit.
