Dovre is a long-established Belgian cast iron manufacturer, and the range here covers freestanding fireplaces and double-sided units. Cast iron holds and radiates heat well after the fire dies down, which is why these units suit homes that want steady warmth rather than a quick burst. The double-sided models work as a see-through feature between a lounge and dining room, or between indoors and a covered patio. Request a quote and we will confirm the right Dovre unit and flue route.

Request a RecommendationDovre is a Belgian maker of cast-iron fireplaces, building stoves for over a century. Cast iron soaks up heat and keeps giving it off long after the flames die down, which is why a Dovre suits homes that want steady, even warmth through a Cape Town winter. Our team supplies and installs the Dovre range across Cape Town and the Western Cape.
The Astroline 3 CB, Astroline 4 CB and Sense 403 with side glass show the fire from more than one side, so they work well as a feature between a lounge and dining room.
For a fireplace set into a wall or an existing chimney opening, look at the Dovre Vista 700, Vista 800, 2520S and 2100S.
As a rough guide, 5 to 7kW suits a small or medium lounge, and 9kW and up suits a large or open-plan room. Ceiling height, insulation and window size all change the answer. Send us your room size and a few photos and our team will recommend the right Dovre and flue.
Every Dovre we fit is installed with the correct flue, cowl and roof flashing for Cape Town wind and winter rain. See our fireplace installation in Cape Town page for how it works, or read our Dovre fireplace guide to compare the models.
