Scan 1005 CS Wood Burning Fireplace Insert

Scan 1005 CS Wood Burning Fireplace Insert — Low Profile, High Performance

Not every fireplace opening is the same. For homes where the recess is shallower or the height more restricted, the Scan 1005 CS wood burning fireplace insert offers a practical and genuinely attractive solution. Scan designed it to sit 10cm lower than a standard-height insert, which makes it a strong fit for openings that would rule out taller models — without asking you to compromise on quality, finish, or heat output.

A Compact Insert With a Ceramic Stone Firebox

One of the key features that sets the 1005 CS apart from other inserts in the Scan 1000 series is its ceramic stone lining. Rather than vermiculite, Scan lines the firebox with ceramic stones, which retain heat effectively and contribute to a more even, sustained burn. As a result, you get a steadier flame picture and more consistent warmth from each session — particularly useful when you want the fire to hold its heat after you ease back on the air control.

The flush-fitting design gives your existing fireplace opening a clean, contemporary finish. Because it sits neatly within the recess, it works equally well in modern interiors and more traditional settings, adding character without cluttering the room.

Efficient, Clean Burning Performance

Despite its compact proportions, the Scan 1005 CS puts in a strong performance. It delivers a nominal output of 6.0kW and heats spaces of up to 120m², making it well suited to living rooms and sitting rooms of a typical size. Furthermore, its efficiency rating of 82% is genuinely impressive for an insert in this output bracket — meaning you draw more usable heat from every log and waste less energy in the process.

In terms of emissions, the 1005 CS is one of the cleaner options available. CO emissions sit at 0.07%, while dust particle emissions come in at just 22 mg/Nm³ — comfortably within Ecodesign standards. Additionally, the insert supports closed combustion and includes an external air intake, so it performs reliably even in well-sealed, modern homes where indoor air supply might otherwise be a limiting factor.

Straightforward to Install and Easy to Live With

The Scan 1005 CS accepts logs up to 50cm in length, which covers the most commonly available cut sizes without difficulty. Flue exit options from either the top or the rear give you useful flexibility when working with an existing chimney, and the relatively modest weight of 99kg makes it more manageable during installation than heavier inserts in the range.
