Cassette or inset stove?

Blarney_man

Hi, hope I'm posting this in the correct forum :) Looking to get 2 cassette or inset stoves for our bungalow. I'm looking and doing my research online but there is just so many options that I'm lost.

First question would be inset or Cassette?

If cassette, which one is would be best value for money at the moment?

If inset, which one is would be best value for money at the moment?

Fireplace opening 1 -> W 19in/48cm - H 26.5in/68cm - D 17.75in/45cm

Fireplace Opening 2 -> W 21.5in/54cm - H 28.5in/72 cm - D 17.75in/45cm

I'm lost to be honest and would appreciate any guidance on it. Cork area if that's important :)

Thanks ALL!

Inset and cassette are more or less the same thing. A cassette would be a flush with wall version of an inset stove. Other inset stoves might have an inch or two depth of a front fascia frame and door.

You would need to know what Kilowatt heating you need per room depending on the rooms size.

Thanks Forge.

It would be 4-6 kW output for each.

Henley Apollo/Arklow 5kw Inset

Heat Design Vitae 6kw Cassette

These would be the most popular tried and tested versions at reasonable prices.

There are higher quality models also but not worth the massive price differences in my opinion.
