A room-air dependent stove takes the air required for combustion from the room where the stove is located. A room-air-independent stove operates with air that flows in from outside or from an adjacent room via an outside air connection under or behind the stove.
In addition, room-air-independent stoves must be proven to be particularly tight and have a self-latching door.
The German Institute for Building Technology (DIBt for short) issues building inspectorate approvals for room-air-independent fireplaces. These fireplaces are tested for tightness after being subjected to mechanical and thermal loads and must have a door that closes automatically and tightly.
Apart from the models ANDALO 2, LOVERO 2, SOLARO 2, SOLARO 2 W & VARESE 2 W, all DROOFF models are available as room sealed on request.
