Benefits of a Thermo Wood-burning Fireplace
Wood-burning fireplaces have been shown to have health benefits, such as reducing stress and promoting relaxation. The warmth and ambience created by the fire can also help alleviate symptoms of winter blues.
So, our wood-burning fireplaces are a popular choice, available in a range of designs and sizes to suit various spaces and styles. They can be installed into existing fireplaces or as a standalone unit, offering flexibility and convenience. The built-in convection channels and glass door/s on our units result in more heat output and less waste, saving you money and making our units an environmentally friendly option.
Our most popular and cost-effective freestanding units are our Slimline and Corner ranges. Whilst the Slimline range is wall-standing, the corner unit – unique to Thermo Fires – was designed to tuck neatly into an unused corner of your room. It radiates the heat at 90 degrees, with a view of the flames from all angles. We also offer 4 and 8-sided units with glass on all sides, perfect to utilise as a room divider, as well as various designs of wall-standing and corner units.
Our built-in and insert fireplaces are also manufactured with convection channels and a damper unit, and are available with a door with adjustable air intake. This gives you total control over the amount of oxygen allowed into your fireplace, which in turn controls how hot or fast the fire burns and how much heat is radiated into the room.
Benefits of a Thermo Braai
Thermo Fires offers you one of the most extensive ranges of indoor and outdoor braais. From our unique grid design to our grade 304 stainless steel braai grids, it will earn you the envy of your friends.
Our hottest seller currently is our professional range of built-in braais. This range has been designed with modern clean lines. When closed, the single door makes a statement, whether mildsteel (black) or brushed stainless steel, no matter your design aesthetic. When opened but not needed, the door slides neatly out of the way underneath the ashpan but is easily pulled out to be utilised as a workspace.
This range also includes spit braais, combination braais and freestanding braais.
Thermo Fires’ uniquely extensive range of combination braais – a single braai divided into a wood-burning and a gas BBQ section – gives you the freedom to choose whether to braai on wood or gas, as your available time dictates. Available in nineteen sizes and options, from 1200 mm to 2250 mm wide.
Do you want to avoid the mess of building alterations to fit a fireplace? Our freestanding braais are available on a choice of a pedestal or cabinet, standard with 2.4 m flues, turbo cowl and ceiling plate. Thermo was the first company to manufacture a freestanding braai with double-skinned sides to keep the outside cooler to the touch.
