Description
A see-through fire set into a wall is one of the strongest design features you can add to a home, and the Progress Fires Air Cubo 900 is made for exactly that. It is a double sided fireplace built into a wall or cladding, so the flames show in two rooms. As an Air Cubo double sided model, warm air flows out through slots above the glass to heat the space.
Progress Fires Air Cubo 900 Features
Double combustion
Air is fed into the fire twice, which burns off more of the gases in the smoke. The result is more heat from each log, cleaner glass and less build-up in the flue.
Warm air where you need it
Hot air leaves through the front slots above the glass, so the unit heats by convection as well as radiant heat through the glass. An optional fan with a two speed switch moves the warm air further into the room, and it switches off automatically when you open the door.
Built to last
The combustion chamber is lined with refractory material and the side deflectors are made from thick, painted steel. These parts protect the firebox from heat and help the fire burn evenly.
Size and flue
The steel body measures 49.5 x 91 x 64 cm and needs a 180 mm flue. Flues are not included and are quoted separately, based on your roof and ceiling.
Is the Air Cubo 900 right for your home?
At 15kW, a rough guide puts it in the 11kW+ class for very large rooms, open-plan spaces or high ceilings. Progress Fires describes it as suited to medium sized rooms when heat is split between two sides, so we size it to your floor plan.

Installation in Cape Town
Built-in units need framing, heat-safe cladding, ventilation and a correctly sized flue and cowl for Cape wind and rain. Our team handles the full job and the compliance paperwork. See our built-in fireplace design and cladding service, or browse the wider Progress Fires range.
Air Cubo 900 FAQs
Is the flue included with the Air Cubo?
No. The flue is sold separately because every roof is different. We measure your ceiling height and roof pitch and quote the right 180 mm flue, cowl and flashing.
Do I need the fan?
The fireplace works without it. The optional fan is worth adding if you want to push warm air further into a large room or along a passage.
