Century City is a planned mixed-use development next to the N1, with apartment blocks, offices, townhouses and canal-side homes set around Canal Walk and the Intaka Island wetland. Most residential units are sectional title, so any work affecting the exterior, the roof or shared walls needs body corporate approval, and the wider precinct has its own property owners’ association rules as well. A traditional wood fireplace with a chimney is rarely possible in an apartment.
That shapes the options. Ventless bio-ethanol and electric fireplaces need no flue at all, and many gas fireplaces can vent through an outside wall with a small balanced flue. We check your unit layout, ventilation and building rules before recommending anything, so the installation is approved and safe.
Wood burning is mainly an option for freestanding homes and townhouses where a flue is allowed. In those cases our freestanding closed-combustion range from R7,490 offers efficient, clean-burning units.
Gas fireplaces with a balanced flue through an outside wall suit many Century City units, giving real flame and good heat without a chimney. We install the gas supply and provide the Certificate of Compliance required by law.
For most apartments, a ventless bio-ethanol or electric fireplace is the easiest route. They need no flue or gas line and can be built into a wall or cabinet.
Many Century City buildings do not allow wood or charcoal fires on balconies, so gas braais are the usual choice here. We install gas braais and compact outdoor kitchens on balconies, courtyards and canal-side patios, with a properly installed gas line and the Certificate of Compliance. Where a townhouse or home has a private garden and the rules allow it, we can also build a small wood braai with a suitable chimney.
