Rais 500 2 Inset Wood Burning Stove Corner

The 500 Wood collection offers three configurations: 500-1 (front-facing with a narrow, discreet frame), 500-2 (corner with glass on two sides, available in left or right-facing models), and 500-3 (three-sided with glass on three sides for panoramic views). All feature large glass panes and A+ energy efficiency.

The 500-1 produces 5.6kW nominal output, while the 500-2 and 500-3 both produce 5kW. These outputs are ideal for medium to large living spaces, providing substantial warmth while maintaining A+ energy efficiency and clean combustion.

Yes all 500 Wood models are DEFRA exempt and certified for installation in UK smoke control areas. They are also Ecodesign certified, meeting the strictest emissions standards for clean combustion technology.

Advanced Glass Concept is RAIS's proprietary air-wash system that keeps the glass panes clean throughout the burn cycle. Preheated air is channelled across the inner surface of the glass, creating a protective barrier that prevents soot and tar deposits from forming, ensuring a clear view of the flames.

The AirSystem connects through the bottom or back wall of the fireplace, drawing combustion air from outside the home rather than from the living space. This improves combustion efficiency, maintains indoor air quality, and is particularly beneficial in modern airtight homes.

The 500-1 measures 730 x 485 mm (width x height), the 500-2 measures 704 x 485 mm, and the 500-3 measures 678 x 485 mm. All models feature a narrow, discreet frame that maximises the glass area for an unobstructed view of the fire.

500 Wood models offer a choice of steel or glass doors. Steel doors provide a traditional, solid appearance with excellent heat retention. Glass doors offer an unobstructed view of the flames while maintaining the efficiency of a closed combustion system.

No all solid fuel fireplace installations must be carried out by a competent person, preferably a HETAS-registered engineer. This ensures compliance with UK Building Regulations, proper flue connection, and safe operation.

Use seasoned hardwood logs with moisture content below 20% for optimal efficiency and minimal emissions. Avoid treated wood, painted wood, or household waste as these can damage the appliance and create harmful emissions.

Wood-burning fireplaces require regular ash removal and annual chimney sweeping. The Advanced Glass Concept significantly reduces glass cleaning compared to traditional stoves. An annual service by a HETAS-registered engineer is recommended.
