Woodbridge 5 Slimline vs Woodbridge 5 Deepline — Two Distinct 5kW Stoves, Engineered by Pevex for Different Homes

🔥 Introduction

The Woodbridge 5 range has become one of the most respected British‑made 5kW stove families — known for clean combustion, strong flame presentation and dependable performance.

With the introduction of the Woodbridge 5 Slimline, customers now have two purpose‑built options:

• Woodbridge 5 Deepline — deeper, lower, substantial

• Woodbridge 5 Slimline — taller, slimmer, engineered with Pevex’s new firebox technology

Both models share the same iconic Woodbridge front aspect, but they are designed for different installation needs and different room proportions.

1. The Slimline: A New Firebox Engineered by Pevex

The Woodbridge 5 Slimline is not a reduced version of the Deepline. It is a new stove, engineered by Pevex from the ground up.

What’s new:

• New Pevex firebox geometry

• New combustion chamber design

• Taller, slimmer proportions

• Same Woodbridge front aesthetic

• Same 5kW performance

• Same panoramic flame view

The Slimline exists because many UK homes have limited recess depth, and a 350mm deep stove simply won’t fit. So Pevex engineered a 295mm slim‑depth stove that still delivers the full Woodbridge experience.

2. The Deepline: Deep, Low, and Visually Substantial

The Woodbridge 5 Deepline is the original deep‑bodied Woodbridge design — created by Pevex to solve a different set of installation challenges.

Designed for:

• Low fireplace openings

• Large rooms needing a substantial focal point

• Wide, deep inglenooks

  Customers who prefer a solid, anchored stove presence

The Deepline is:

• 350mm deep

• Lower in stance

• Visually heavier

• Ideal for long burn times with 400mm logs

Its deeper body and lower profile make it stand out in traditional and mixed interiors.

3. Depth & Height: The Real Difference

Woodbridge 5 Slimline

• Depth: 295mm

• Height: Taller stance

• Firebox: New Pevex slim‑depth design

• Best for: shallow recesses, media walls, garden rooms

Woodbridge 5 Deepline

• Depth: 350mm

• Height: Lower stance

• Firebox: deep‑bodied Pevex design

4. When the Slimline is the Perfect Choice

• Shallow chimney breasts

• Narrow recesses

• Media walls

• Garden rooms

• Modern interiors

• Customers who want Woodbridge styling but have limited depth

The Slimline is engineered specifically for installations where depth is the limiting factor.

5. When the Deepline is the Perfect Choice

• Low fireplace openings

• Large rooms

• Wide inglenooks

• Customers who want a substantial stove presence

• Longer burn times with 400mm logs

• Traditional or mixed interiors

The Deepline’s deeper body and lower stance make it ideal for rooms that need a visually strong focal point.

6. Shared Woodbridge DNA

Both models deliver:

• 5kW nominal output

• 82%+ efficiency

• Panoramic viewing window

• Clean‑burn performance

• Single‑lever air control

• 400mm log capacity

• British design and manufacture

The difference is fit and feel, not heat performance.
