The Scandinavian approach."},"content":{"rendered":"\n

As we know, the Scandinavians have a highly developed culture of wood-burning heating. For example, in Norway, there is more than one wood-burning stove per household. The Scandinavian market \u2013 and Denmark in particular \u2013 is now one of the most dynamic in Europe, with leading manufacturers.<\/p>\n\n

This tradition of wood-burning heating has long enabled them to stay one step ahead of certain practices: lighting the fire from the top (known as the \u2018reverse\u2019 method), using smaller logs (the standard size is usually 30 cm)\u2026<\/p>\n\n

And at the same time, we know our Danish cousins (let\u2019s be a little informal here, since HWAM is now part of the SEGUIN Group) and their strong affinity for hygge<\/strong>: a typically Danish word that evokes a cosy atmosphere as well as enjoying life\u2019s simple pleasures with the people we love.<\/p>\n\n

Sitting down with friends for a chat is hygge<\/strong>; lighting a candle is hygge; and, of course, lighting your wood-burning stove in the depths of winter is the very essence of hygge<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n

As you will have gathered, for our Danish friends, wood-fired heating \u2013 beyond the renewable aspect of wood as an energy source \u2013 is not just a heating system; it is a way of life with many benefits. Discover the three benefits of wood-fired heating without further ado:<\/p>\n\n

A l\u2019heure o\u00f9 les r\u00e9glementations thermiques exigent de concevoir des maisons o\u00f9 la temp\u00e9rature doit \u00eatre partout homog\u00e8ne au degr\u00e9 pr\u00eat, cela peut sembler r\u00e9trograde, et pourtant si on y r\u00e9fl\u00e9chit bien, c\u2019est tr\u00e8s coh\u00e9rent. Il ne sert \u00e0 rien d\u2019avoir 22\u00b0 partout dans une maison, surtout si on s\u2019active (et encore moins si on dort sous une bonne couette).
En revanche, si commence \u00e0 avoir froid, qu\u2019on revient d\u2019un ext\u00e9rieur tr\u00e8s hivernal ou qu\u2019on est en position statique pour travailler ou regarder la t\u00e9l\u00e9, alors on a parfois besoin de se rapprocher d\u2019un point chaud \u00e0 plus que 22\u00b0.
Une maison \u00e0 18 ou 19\u00b0, mais avec un po\u00eale \u00e0 bois qui fait monter la temp\u00e9rature \u00e0 25\u00b0 \u00e0 proximit\u00e9 dans le s\u00e9jour, c\u2019est en fait l\u2019\u00e9quilibre hivernal id\u00e9al.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t<\/div>\n\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\n\t\t\n\t\t

En Scandinavie, les journ\u00e9es d\u2019hiver sont tr\u00e8s courtes et se r\u00e9sument parfois \u00e0 quelques heures un peu grises. A l\u2019heure des lampes \u00e0 LED et des lumi\u00e8res un peu froides, vertueuses en consommation d\u2019\u00e9nergie, la lumi\u00e8re particuli\u00e8rement chaude du feu de bois est la meilleure source d\u2019\u00e9quilibre pour nos besoins en lumi\u00e8re naturelle l\u2019hiver.
En effet, la beaut\u00e9 de la flamme a quelque chose de chaleureux, d\u2019hypnotique, c\u2019est le traitement naturel parfait pour chasser la d\u00e9pression saisonni\u00e8re hivernale.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t<\/div>\n\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\n\t\t\n\t\t

3\/ Contemplative virtues<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n

There\u2019s no denying it: you feel better when you\u2019ve had the chance, at some point during the day, to spend at least a few minutes contemplating a natural phenomenon. We\u2019ve all experienced it: spotting an animal, watching the snow fall, a river flow, or the waves breaking on a beach instantly restores your sense of balance and brings a touch of serenity. The flames of a wood fire play this role perfectly; put off watching the latest series for a few minutes and take the time to watch the flames in your wood-burning stove dance \u2013 it\u2019s well worth a few sessions with a therapist or the latest yoga trend!<\/p>\n\n

Warmth, light and contemplation: it makes perfect sense, yet we\u2019d somewhat lost sight of it, being so focused on the environmental, economic and energy aspects of our business \u2013 which are, of course, also very important. But if, at SEGUIN, we put the customer at the heart of everything we do, then realising that it is above all you whom we are helping \u2013 what a wonderful source of motivation to keep going!<\/p>\n\n
