In an A rated house the combustion air required for wood burning appliance like a stove burning logs or wood pellets must be supplied directly to the stove from outside the house. These appliances are called room sealed as they are manufactured not to take air from the room. The Schiedel Swift Air provides all the benefits of the Schiedel Swift and in addition neatly and simply delivers the external air to the stove.

The alternative to Schiedel Swift Air is low level or under floor ducting ideally with air supplies from opposite sides of the house.

The Schiedel Swift Air solution avoids this by ducting the air through an external air shaft in the chimney.
