Description
Some stoves are bought for heat. The La Nordica Isotta is bought for heat and for the way it looks in a room for decades. It is a traditional cast iron wood stove finished in enamel, with rounded lines and a generous glass door. Inside, a cast iron hearth with post-combustion makes the most of every log, and a side door makes loading big pieces of wood simple.
La Nordica Isotta Cast Iron Stove Features
Cast iron through and through
The Isotta is made completely from cast iron, which has a very high thermal yield. It warms the room gently, then keeps radiating heat long after the flames settle. At 212 kg it is a heavy, stable stove that stores a lot of warmth.
Front and side loading
You can open the front door for everyday loading or use the side door to slide in longer logs without disturbing the fire bed. It is a small detail that makes daily use easier.
Cleaner combustion
A post-combustion system in the cast iron hearth burns off gases that would otherwise escape, giving you more heat and less smoke. The ceramic glass withstands temperatures up to 750°, so you get a clear view of the flames.
Size and flue
The stove measures 66 x 79 x 77.5 cm and connects to a 150 mm flue.
Is the Isotta right for your home?
At 9.3kW, the Isotta sits in the 8 to 10kW class. As a rough guide, that suits a larger lounge or an open-plan space of about 70 to 120 m2 with normal ceilings.

Nordica Isotta FAQs
Why choose an enamelled cast iron stove?
Enamel protects the cast iron, is easy to wipe clean and keeps its colour for years. The cast iron underneath stores heat well, so the room stays warm long after the fire burns down.
Does my floor need to be reinforced for the La Nordica Isotta?
Most concrete floors cope well with a stove of this weight on a proper hearth. Suspended timber floors may need extra support, so we always check the floor before installation.
