A FIRE IN THE WALL

HomeFires 700 Economaster Built-in Fireplace.
An open fire for your wall.

The HomeFires 700 Economaster Built-in Fireplace gives your wall an open fire, with convection heating to help the warmth into the room. It is mild steel in black, takes wood or anthracite, and has a built-in damper. The ashpan catches what the fire leaves behind, so the morning after a long night in front of it is an easy one.

THE BEST SEAT IN THE HOUSE

A low fire for a slow Saturday.

Afternoon sun on the floor, logs burning low and a coffee going cold because the couch is too comfortable to leave. It is the kind of fire that makes a townhouse lounge feel like the best room on the street.

The plastered chimney breast, tiled bench, couch, table, plants and décor are not included. Flue pipes, collars and the cowl are options on this page. Plan the building work with an independent installer.

BEFORE THE BUILDER ARRIVES

Plan the wall, then the flue.

THE HEAT

Check it against your room.

The stated heating volume is 110 m³, so multiply your room's length, width and height and compare the two. There's no published kW output for this model. Send us your room size if you want a second opinion.

THE FLUE

Your choice of flue parts.

Flue pipes, collars and the cowl are options on this page, so you order what your roof needs. The flue pipe has a nominal size of 320 × 220 mm. Send a photo and measurements for a quote.

THE BUILD

Room to expand, air to breathe.

Leave a 20 mm gap to the brickwork at the sides and back, so the metal can expand, and keep the lower cold-air inlet open after installation. Your installer plans the rest of the wall around the actual unit.

Plan the body, frame, gather and flue together.

The frame is wider than the body, and the gather and flue go above the 705 mm body height. Ask us to confirm the frame height and the gather height before you build. These are product sizes, not a building-opening size.

GOOD TO KNOW

Plan your setup.

Read your instruction manual before you plan the installation.

Read the instruction manual

What is included?

The fireplace with a fire grate, a grid, an ashpan and a built-in damper. Flue pipes, collars and the cowl are options on this page. Building materials and installation are not included.

Is the flue included?

No. Flue pipes, collars and the cowl are options on this page. The flue pipe has a nominal size of 320 × 220 mm, and the outlet on top measures 320 × 220 mm on the outside. Send a photo and measurements for a product and flue configuration quote, and we will confirm the parts for your setup.

Which fuel can I use?

Wood or anthracite. This is an open fireplace.

How much space will it heat?

The stated heating volume is 110 m³. Compare it with your room's length × width × height. There's no published kW output for this model, so send us your room size and we will chat it through with you.

How much space do I need?

The body is 740 mm wide, 400 mm deep and 705 mm high. The frame is 785 mm wide. Ask us to confirm the frame height and the gather height before you build, and have your installer check the actual unit.

Can I use these sizes as my opening?

No. These are product sizes, and we have no complete cut-out size for this model. Leave a 20 mm gap between the body and the brickwork at the sides and back, so the metal can expand. Ask us before you build, and confirm the opening on site with your installer.

How do I install it safely?

Leave at least 450 mm between the hot-air outlet and a heat-sensitive mantel above it, and at least 300 mm between the front left and right edges and heat-sensitive material at the side. Confirm the full installation on site. Your installer must follow the installation manual that comes with the unit.

What hearth does it need?

A non-combustible hearth must reach at least 350 mm in front of the fireplace and at least 200 mm to each side. Your installer confirms the hearth for your floor and room.

How do I look after it?

Keep the lower cold-air inlet open after installation. The ash goes into the ashpan. The guarantee requires regular painting and maintenance, so keep up with both.

How heavy is it?

It weighs 75 kg. Plan how it will be moved into place, and have your installer check it against your building work.

What does the guarantee cover?

The firebox has a five-year Homefires EconoMaster guarantee from the date of purchase against faulty workmanship or material under normal use, which means the fire is made in the grate. Loose replaceable parts, rust, misuse, water leakage, damage during or from incorrect installation, and the cost of installing or delivering a replacement are excluded. Regular painting with the correct paint and maintenance are required.

Can you help with my setup?

Yes. Send a photo and measurements for a product and flue configuration quote. Arrange installation with an independent installer.
