Description
A fire that you can see from the lounge and the dining room at the same time makes a home feel bigger and warmer, and that is exactly what the Progress Fires Air Cubo Double Sided 700 does. It is a built-in wood insert with a see-through firebox, designed to sit inside a wall or a feature chimney breast between two spaces.
Progress Fires Air Cubo Double Sided 700 Features
Double combustion for more heat from less wood
The Air Cubo burns the wood and then burns off the gases a second time. That gives you more heat from each log, cleaner glass and less smoke out of the chimney.
Hot air where you need it
Warm air leaves through slots above the glass at the front, so heat moves out into the room instead of staying trapped in the wall. A two-speed fan can be added as an option. It switches on and off by a wall switch, and a micro-switch turns it off automatically when you open the door.
Built for long life
The combustion chamber is lined with refractory, and the side deflectors are thick painted steel. Refractory holds heat and protects the steel body from the hottest part of the fire.
Size and flue
The unit measures 49 x 72.5 x 62.5 cm and connects to a 150 mm flue on top. Flues are not included in the unit and are quoted separately to suit your roof.
Is the Air Cubo right for your home?
Progress Fires suggests it for medium sized rooms, but with a 12.5kW rating it can carry a large open-plan area of roughly 100 m2 or more as a rough guide, especially when the heat is shared between two rooms. We confirm the fit on site. Our guide to heating two rooms with one double sided fireplace explains how the heat spreads.
Installation in Cape Town
A built in fireplace needs a proper surround. Our built-in fireplace design and cladding team builds the chimney breast, fits the flue, cowl and flashing for Cape wind and rain, and handles compliance. See our other built-in fireplaces and the full Progress Fires range.
Air Cubo FAQs
Does a double sided fireplace lose heat?
No more than a single sided unit. The heat simply comes out on both sides, which suits two connected spaces. Good seals on both doors keep the burn controlled.
Is the fan on the Air Cubo 700 included?
The fan is an optional extra. It has two speeds and stops when the door opens. Ask our team to add it to your quote.
