Sustainability
Cast iron and pellets for a better world.
Commitment to efficient and sustainable heating solutions
At ECOFAB, we value the integrity and functionality of our products. Cast iron, the core material of pellet stoves and outdoor fireplaces, is chosen for its exceptional durability and guarantee of reliable, long-lasting heating. The thermal properties of cast iron ensure effective and constant heat distribution, while providing prolonged comfort even after the appliance has been switched off.
The malleability of cast iron allows us to create varied designs, from traditional to contemporary styles, without compromising the quality or performance of the equipment. What's more, by using cast iron, we are opting for a material that reuses scrap metal and enables the equipment to be recycled again, a measure that reinforces our commitment to sustainability and reduces our ecological footprint while providing high-quality heating solutions.
Advantages of using cast iron:
- Durability and longevity: Cast iron is extremely durable and resistant, which means that a stove made from this material can last for many years while maintaining its functionality and aesthetics;
- Excellent heat retention and distribution: One of the most important characteristics of cast iron is its ability to retain heat for a long time and distribute it evenly. This makes cast iron pellet stoves very efficient at heating a space consistently;
- Heat resistance: Cast iron can withstand high temperatures without deformation or damage. This is essential for pellet stoves, which operate at high temperatures to burn the wood pellets;
- Low maintenance: Due to their robustness, cast iron stoves generally require less maintenance than those made from other materials;
- Corrosion resistance: When properly treated and maintained, cast iron is resistant to corrosion, which is important for the longevity of the equipment;
- Moulding capacity: Cast iron can be moulded into various shapes and designs, allowing for greater flexibility in the design of pellet stoves, both in terms of functionality and aesthetics;
- Energy Efficiency: Cast iron's ability to retain heat helps with energy efficiency, as the stove continues to radiate heat even after the fire has died down or been extinguished;
- Security: The robustness of cast iron also contributes to safety, as the material is less prone to damage or failure that could jeopardise the safe operation of the stove.
Iron Foundry
ECOFAB is part of the FELINO S.A. group, in a perfect synergy between innovation and tradition in the art of casting. At the heart of its production is the foundry, a sector where FELINO has marked its presence with excellence and unrivalled quality since 1936. This strategic partnership allows ECOFAB to benefit from the vast experience and technical know-how accumulated by FELINO, transforming cast iron into distinctive, high-quality products. Casting is not just one part of the production process; it is the beating heart that drives ECOFAB's entire operation, ensuring that each product reflects the high standards of quality and innovation that characterise FELINO.
At ECOFAB, every casting is a testament to FELINO's heritage of commitment to excellence. The company specialises in transforming first-rate raw materials into superior end products suitable for a variety of industrial applications. This meticulous casting process at ECOFAB ensures that each product not only meets, but exceeds customer expectations in terms of quality, durability and performance.
Pellets: Ecological solid fuel
Pellets are an environmentally friendly choice for fuelling our stoves. Made from recycled sawdust, they represent a sustainable alternative to fossil fuels. Pellets burn cleanly and efficiently, allowing them to generate fewer emissions and make the most of renewable energy. This approach allows you to reduce both your environmental impact and provide a reliable and efficient source of heat for your home.
By choosing an ECOFAB pellet stove, you are opting for a heating solution that respects the environment and promotes a more sustainable future. Join us on this sustainability journey and discover the eco-efficient warmth that our pellet stoves can bring to your home.
Advantages of using pellets as a heating solution:
- Renewable and Sustainable: Pellets are produced from wood waste, making them a renewable energy source that reduces the waste of resources;
- High energy efficiency: Compared to other fuel sources, pellets burn more efficiently, producing more heat with less material;
- Low Pollutant Emission: Burning pellets emits fewer pollutants than other traditional fuel sources, which translates into a smaller ecological footprint;
- Easy to store and use: Pellets are compact and easy to store, take up less space than firewood and are easier to handle;
- Cost-effective: Pellets represent a lower long-term cost compared to other fuel sources, for efficient heating at a lower cost;
- Consistency in Quality: Pellets have a more uniform quality standard than firewood, which allows for consistent performance;
- Convenience: The use of pellets eliminates the need to cut, stack and dry wood, making it a more convenient and hassle-free heating solution.
