Bringing Warmth and Charm with a 5KW Multifuel Wood Burner Stove
Pontrhydyfen is a delightful small village set in the picturesque Afan Valley of Neath Port Talbot county, Wales. Nestled at the merging point of the River Afan and Afon Pelenna, it lies just 1.8 miles north of the larger Cwmafan village, a short drive from both Port Talbot and Neath towns.
The tranquil yet convenient locale was the ideal home for a Hopkins Log Burners client who long envisioned a warming multifuel stove within their charming yet weather-exposed detached house. With slate and stone prevalent across properties in the area, the customer felt a multifuel installation would blend perfectly while combatting nippy Welsh air from the valley.

- Contractor: Hopkins Log Burners specialist Wood burner, multifuel and biomass pellet stove installers

- Model: Fireline FTW-3 Tracery Door

Tackling Stove Installation Obstacles with Finesse
With an existing hearth and surround in place, our first task involved removing and resizing to align with the new multifuel stove. Careful measurements ensured a smooth fit to the wall’s stone finish. As this was an internal chimney breast, creating the exit hole for the flue avoided interference with the upstairs windows.
Using two 45° elbow TW Pro flue pipes enabled vertical installation along the pine end in line with regulations. Wall brackets, AD cowl, and trim plates blended neatly to complete the rear exit flue.
With the F2 Fireline FTW-3 Tracery Door multifuel stove aligned perfectly to the newly resized hearth, our engineer commissioned the appliance seamlessly, conducting a smoke test to verify safety and efficiency.
Bringing Our Client’s Stove Vision to Life
As experienced multifuel stove installers, we felt confident taking on this project, but this particular install presented unique challenges. Our engineer demonstrated exceptional skill and dedication in overcoming these hurdles to actualise the client’s vision for their focal point fireplace.
The completed installation blending traditional charm with contemporary multifuel stove functionality delights the customer. The Fireline multifuel stove performs beautifully, supplying the entire ground floor with warmth and ambiance.
