Architectural wood fire, precisely framed

Stûv Wood Fireplaces, Inserts & Stoves in Mountain View

Stûv approaches the wood fire as an architectural element: quiet geometry, generous glass and purposeful details that allow flame, material and room to relate naturally. The collection spans built-in fireplaces, inserts for existing masonry hearths and freestanding stoves, giving Bay Area projects a clear path from a focused fire view to a more independent focal point.

Wood Fireplaces — s[16]Z & s[21]

For a fire planned as part of the architecture, Stûv offers zero-clearance wood fireplaces in discreet built-in formats. The s[21] family pairs a slim fire view with a retractable guillotine window and is offered in single- and double-sided configurations; the s[16]Z is another current built-in direction.

Wood Fireplace Inserts — s[6]in & s[16]in

Stûv wood inserts are intended to bring a contemporary wood fire into an existing masonry fireplace. The compact s[6]in has a tapered combustion chamber that broadens toward the viewing side, while the s[16]in offers a minimalist, wide-view alternative in the current collection.

Wood Stoves — s[6]H, s[16] & s[30C]

Stûv's freestanding wood stoves stand without a built enclosure, making their form part of the room composition. The cylindrical s[30C] family includes s[30C]one, s[30C] and s[30C]H formats; the latter two use a three-door concept, and rotation depends on the installation.

Plan before you specify

Plan the fire around the room

Start with the project condition. A new wall composition may point toward a built-in fireplace; an established masonry hearth may make an insert the more relevant starting point; and a freestanding stove can keep the appliance visibly independent. Decide early whether the fire is meant to read as a framed opening, connect two spaces, or anchor a room as an object.

Then work through the practical information that shapes an informed conversation: room and ceiling geometry, existing hearth and chimney details, nearby finishes, wood-storage preferences and the desired view of the flame. Stûv publishes product sheets and installation information for each family; model suitability and current options should be confirmed for the specific project.

Useful answers

Questions about Stûv.

More project FAQs

Can a Stûv fireplace connect two rooms?

Yes. The current s[21] wood-fireplace family includes single- and double-sided models, so a fire can be considered as part of a shared architectural composition. The applicable size, finish and project requirements should be reviewed for the individual plan.

Is there a Stûv option for an existing masonry fireplace?

Yes. Stûv identifies its s[6]in and s[16]in as wood-burning inserts for existing masonry fireplaces. An existing hearth still needs to be evaluated against the selected model's documentation and project conditions.

What distinguishes the Stûv s[30C] wood stove?

The s[30C] is a cylindrical freestanding wood-stove family with s[30C]one, s[30C] and s[30C]H variants. The standard and H versions use three doors, while rotation can be available up to 360 degrees depending on location and installation.
