Insulation Level
Poor = solid walls, single glazing or no loft insulation · Good = cavity walls, double glazing, fully insulated
Consider how quickly your house cools down when the heating goes off. A poorly insulated house will not retain the heat for long.

The calculator cannot take into account all unseen factors in your home or how many hours a day you plan to have the stove lit, so tends to underestimate the output required. It is only an estimate and must be confirmed by a home survey prior to purchase.

We have an amazing network of stockists to go and visit, click for your nearest but if you would prefer to sit back and relax and request that they contact you, look no further. All stove installations require a fireplace survey, you can request that too, without even getting up! Your penguin is waiting for you!
Send us a few details and we will make sure your local dealer gets in touch with you.
Why don't we sell online?
We sell through a national network of independent specialist shops who can offer specialist advice about stoves and their installation and employ or personally recommend accredited installers. Once a stove is fitted, the flue system is completely out of sight, so if anything is done incorrectly it's not visible and you won't know about it until it goes wrong. No system is perfect but we believe that this is the best way to endure safe and compliant installation and aftercare.
If you see one for sale online, be aware that it may not be a genuine Penguin and the extended guarantee will not be available.

Stove Story
+
We have a new guilty pleasure, the Penguin Idris. The welsh origin of this name, is fiery and passionate, just like this penguin. The Penguin Idris gives out 7 kW of chilli hot heat, like the Penguin 7 but with more to love; extra width with the side convector panels and extra height to balance it up and store your logs underneath…just that bit bigger and that bit hotter.
This stove has the same firebox and performance data as all of the stoves in the Penguin 7 series,

The Penguin 7 has a 7kW output with a large glass window. It uses the re-designed Chilli Penguin clean burn and air wash system, (the same as the Stock Cube series), giving a lovely clear view of the fire. Like all of our stove range, the Penguin 7 is very controllable.
Penguin Facts
+
This is a generous stove; it has big fire box for plenty of fuel, it throws out 7kW of chilli hot heat on a cold winter’s night or a frosty Sunday morning….. and it lets you see it all happening. The generous wide screen glass gives you a wonderful big fire view. The simple styling means that the Penguin 7 works well in a fresh contemporary setting, but looks equally at home in a cosy, traditional room.
Air control The Penguin 7 only has one air control knob, which makes it really easy to use. The single air knob provides boost air when fully open, and finer control when further in. A tool is provided to use when the stove is hot.
