When it comes to creating a striking log burner installation, elevation might be the big decider in terms of design impact and practicality. Whether you want to give your wood burner more presence in the room or simply enjoy the added functionality of log storage, there are several clever ways to raise your stove off the floor to suit your interior design requirements.
Some stoves offer log store bases – whether integrated or a separate accessory. Integrated within the appliance, the Gazco Vogue Midi Gas Midline is one such example, featuring a tall firebox and a stylish in-built log store, providing the appearance of a real log burner.
If a real log burner is what you are after instead, the Stovax Vogue Medium wood burning and multi-fuel stove is an ideal choice. Its optional Highline log store base quite literally elevates the stove, creating a taller, more prominent focal point in your space while offering a convenient and practical place to store stacked logs for reloading the fire.
The Highline base offers a huge visual impact, ideal for open-plan interiors or rooms with high ceilings where extra visual height enhances the overall balance.
Some stove ranges offer optional long leg kits or taller leg models, adding height that blends perfectly with classic stove design. The Stovax Chesterfield wood burning and multi-fuel stove range and the Stovax Huntingdon log burner collection both offer an optional longer leg kit, allowing you to choose between the standard height or a raised aesthetic. This not only elevates the product for a better flame view when seated but also lends these freestanding stoves a graceful appearance.
Another stylish way to elevate your log burner is with a bench-mounted installation. Many of our stoves are compatible with contemporary benches that not only raise the appliance but also provide a clean-lined base that doubles as a display shelf or practical storage solution.
Stovax Studio Air and Studio wood burning freestanding fires are a firm favourite, offering clean industrial-chic lines and styling, and all compatible with our stove benches. The Bench 81 is the perfect fit for Studio Air 1 and Studio 1 stoves, matching almost exactly in width and giving an integrated appearance.
Whether mounted centrally or offset for a more creative look, stove benches offer endless possibilities to personalise your setup.
The Stovax Riva2 Freestanding range of wood burning fires offers several stylish options to lift your appliance and enhance its visual impact. Mounting your Riva2 on a sleek bench creates a striking contemporary focal point, while the optional log boxes not only raise the fire to the perfect viewing height but also provide a practical and elegant way to store wood. Alternatively, designer feet in a variety of finishes allow you to customise the look to complement your interior scheme, adding a refined touch that completes the Riva2’s clean, modern aesthetic.
Choosing how to elevate your stove will depend on your room layout, design preferences, and how you use the space. Whether you prefer the practical charm of a log store base, the elegance of longer legs, or the architectural feel of a bench-mounted design, there’s a stylish solution to suit every home.
