Dunsley Avance 500 Wood Burning Stove
The Dunsley Avance 500 Wood Burning Stove brings contemporary styling, responsive heating performance, and an impressive flame view together for modern living. With EcoDesign 2022 compliance and an A+ energy rating, it provides an efficient approach to wood burning while retaining the warmth and atmosphere that make a real fire such an appealing feature.
The large glass window forms a key part of the design, providing an expansive view of the dancing flames and making the stove a natural focal point within the room. Its freestanding format also gives homeowners flexibility when planning the overall fireplace layout.
Contemporary Design with Flexible Installation
The Avance 500 combines cast iron with high-grade steel plate construction, giving the appliance a robust finish suited to regular use. Dunsley finishes the stove in metallic black high-temperature paint as standard, while optional colours allow homeowners to create a more individual appearance.
The stove also offers flexible installation options. Interchangeable rear and top flue outlets allow installers to position the flue connection according to the installation requirements. A fully adjustable base makes it easier to level the appliance accurately, which can prove particularly useful when working with different floor surfaces.
The Avance 500 comes with short legs, while an optional bolt-on log store provides additional flexibility. These choices allow you to adapt the stove to different room layouts and interior styles without changing its core design.
Dunsley Avance 500 Wood Stove Responsive Heating Performance
Dunsley developed the Avance 500 to offer a high level of controllability, with a fast response when adjusting between higher and lower burn rates.
You can adjust the air control gradually to find the most suitable setting for your desired rate of burning. Under the correct operating conditions and with appropriate wood, the stove can achieve efficiencies of up to 81.2% when burning logs.
The stove delivers a rated 5kW output, with the heat output ranging from 2.5kW to 7.5kW depending on the weight and type of wood used. This useful heating range allows you to adjust the burn rate and heat produced according to the fuel and requirements of the room.
Wood Burning with the Option for Smokeless Fuel
Dunsley supplies the Avance 500 for wood burning and approves it for burning wood logs in smoke control areas. The stove also carries HETAS approval, providing added reassurance when selecting an appliance for a modern home.
If you want the flexibility to burn smokeless fuels, you can add the optional solid fuel kit. This kit lets you configure the stove for multi-fuel use while retaining its contemporary appearance and practical installation options.
The stove uses a 5-inch (125mm) diameter fluepipe, while the interchangeable rear and top outlets provide additional flexibility when planning the flue connection.
Dunsley Avance 500 Wood Stove Designed for Contemporary Homes
With its large viewing window, clean styling, flexible flue configuration, and adjustable base, the Dunsley Avance 500 suits contemporary interiors where both appearance and practical performance matter.
EcoDesign 2022 compliance and an A+ energy rating further reinforce its suitability for modern wood-burning installations. The choice of leg options, colours, and optional log store also gives you greater scope to tailor the final appearance.
When planning a new installation, understanding the wood-burning stove installation process can help you consider the appliance, flue, and surrounding fireplace from the outset. Professional stove installation also helps ensure safe and reliable operation.
