WhatsApp UsMORE ABOUT THE 850 NEW SHAPE
The 850 New Shape is an open fireplace that you build in, with a mild-steel body and a stainless-steel trim up front. Burn wood or anthracite on the fire grate, set the built-in damper and let the natural convection system carry the warmth into the room. The trim plate is detachable and the top is flat, which helps when it goes into an existing cavity.
AFTERNOONS AT HOME
A favourite book on the couch, the afternoon sun coming in and a fire going in the wall. The 850 New Shape keeps the family room warm while the pages turn, and the stainless trim catches the glow. Later, the same fire sees everyone through supper and one more story.
The chimney breast, hearth, furniture, artwork, plants and décor are not included. Plan the flue, hearth and 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 TRIM
The trim plate is detachable and the top is flat, so the fireplace is easier to fit into an existing cavity. Your installer confirms the opening for your wall.
THE FLUE
The outlet opening on the flat top measures 430 × 230 mm. The flue parts on this page use the 420 × 220 nominal size: pipes in 1,200 mm and 2,400 mm lengths, joining collars and a cowl.
MEASURE THE WHOLE SETUP
Plan the body, trim and flue together.
The 1,045 × 835 mm trim plate is wider and taller than the body. 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.
