WhatsApp UsMORE ABOUT THE 800 DOUBLE SIDED
The 800 is built into a wall with a face on each side, so one open fire shows in two spaces. Burn wood or anthracite on the fire grate, set the built-in damper and let the natural convection system spread the warmth. The standard unit is black mild steel, the ash drops into the ash drawer, and touch-up paint keeps the finish looking fresh.
AN OPEN-PLAN AFTERNOON
Through the flames, the kitchen is busy: something on the go, fresh herbs on the counter and two friends chatting over it all. On the lounge side, the couch is ready for later. The 800 puts one fire between both spaces, so nobody misses out on the glow.
The brick wall, kitchen, furniture, rug and décor are not included. Plan the flue, the wall and the clearances with an independent installer.
A LITTLE PRACTICAL THINKING
THE FIRE
Burn wood or anthracite on the fire grate, and use the built-in damper to manage the fire. The ash drops into the ash drawer, ready to empty once it is cold.
THE HEAT
A natural convection system is built in. Homefires gives a heating volume of 180 m³ for the 800, so send us your room sizes and we will check them with you.
THE FLUE
The outlet on top of the gather measures 395 × 305 mm. The flue parts on this page use the 300 × 400 nominal size: pipes in 1,200 mm and 2,400 mm lengths, collars and a rotating cowl.
MEASURE THE WHOLE SETUP
Plan the body, gather and flue together.
The 755 mm body height does not include the 195 mm gather on top, or the flue. These are product sizes, not the masonry opening: leave a 20 mm expansion gap at the sides and back, and have your installer check the actual unit and safe clearances.
GOOD TO KNOW
Read your instruction manual before you plan the installation.
The 800 double-sided built-in fireplace in black mild steel, with a fire grate, a grid, an ash drawer, a built-in damper system and a natural convection system. Insulation material, touch-up paint and a guarantee certificate come with it. The flue pipes, collars and rotating cowl are options, sold separately.
Yes. The 800 is a built-in, double-sided open fireplace, so the fire shows on both faces. It is vented, so it needs a flue. Plan the wall, the hearth and the clearances for both faces with an independent installer.
Wood or anthracite, on the fire grate.
Homefires gives a heating volume of 180 m³ for the 800 double-sided. We do not have a heat output rating for this model, so send us your room sizes and we will check them with you before you order.
No. The 300 × 400 flue pipes (1,200 mm and 2,400 mm lengths), collars and a rotating cowl with slip-on base are options that you choose on this page. Send a photo and measurements for a flue and configuration quote, and we will confirm the parts for your setup.
At the outlet on top of the gather, 395 × 305 mm. The gather rises 195 mm above the body, and the flue parts use the 300 × 400 nominal size. Homefires asks for a chimney at least 3.6 m high; your installer confirms the height for your roof.
The body is 920 mm wide, 595 mm deep and 755 mm high, and the gather rises 195 mm above it. The frame is 990 mm wide and 835 mm high. These are product sizes, not the masonry opening. Have your installer check the actual unit and safe clearances before building.
Leave a 20 mm expansion gap between the sides and back of the body and the brickwork. Keep heat-sensitive materials at the sides 300 mm away, and keep a mantel at least 450 mm above the hot-air outlet. The manual has the full instructions.
Extend the hearth at least 350 mm in front of the fireplace and at least 200 mm at the sides. Keep the metal flue at least 200 mm from wood trusses. Your independent installer confirms the details for your building.
