Description
Cast iron has kept homes warm for generations, and the Dovre 525 CB puts that material into a neat, compact wood fireplace. This is the standard version of the 525, with an 8kW output that warms a typical lounge well. It is a sensible, hard-working stove for homeowners who want reliable heat without a large unit taking over the room.
Dovre 525 CB Wood Fireplace Features
Cast iron that stores heat
The 525 CB weighs 120 kg, and much of that is cast iron. Once warm, the body keeps giving off heat even as the fire burns down, which smooths out the temperature in the room and means fewer top-ups of wood.
Compact size
Many buyers search for standard fireplace dimensions in cm before they buy. The 525 CB measures 47.5 x 52.5 x 75 cm, small enough for most hearths, alcoves and corners, and it connects to a 150 mm flue.
Simple to live with
It burns wood only, which keeps things easy: load, light and set the air. A Dovre fireplace is known for solid build quality, and the cast iron finish stays good-looking for years with basic care.
Is the Dovre 525 right for your home?
As a rough guide, an 8kW fireplace suits a lounge of about 70 m2 with a normal ceiling. Open-plan areas, high ceilings and big windows need more heat, so share your room size and a few photos and we will confirm the fit. Compare it with the rest of our freestanding fireplaces, or read our Dovre fireplace guide for more on the range.
