Description
The Progress Fires Air Cubo 900 is a built-in wood fireplace that does more than look good in a wall. Two fans draw heat off the firebox and blow it into the room through slots above the glass, so warmth reaches you quickly instead of rising to the ceiling. It is a strong choice for a cladded feature wall in a lounge or open-plan space.
Progress Fires Air Cubo 900 Features
Fan assisted fireplace heat
Two fans for forced air are included. They push warm air out of the front slots over the glass, which spreads heat faster and more evenly than a plain radiant insert.
Double combustion
Air is fed into the fire in two stages, so more of the gases burn off inside the box. That means more heat from each log and less smoke up the flue.
Heavy-duty firebox
The combustion chamber is lined with refractory material and the side deflectors are thick painted steel, both chosen to stand up to years of hot fires.
Clean single-sided design
The Air Cubo single sided model faces one room with a wide glass front. It measures 49 x 84.5 x 64 cm and connects to a 180 mm flue, so it slots neatly into a built-in surround.
Is the Air Cubo right for your home?
Progress Fires pitches the Air Cubo at medium sized rooms, and the fans help move its 15KW of heat around the space. In a small closed room it may run too hot, so share your floor plan and we will confirm. Compare other models in our built-in fireplaces range.
Installation in Cape Town
Flues are not included and are bought separately. Our team designs the surround, builds and clads the wall, fits the flue, cowl and roof flashing for Cape wind and winter rain, and wires the fans. See our built-in fireplace design and cladding service and the full Progress Fires range.
Air Cubo 900 FAQs
Do the fans need electricity?
Yes, the two fans need a power point near the fireplace, which we plan into the build. The fire itself still burns wood normally when the power is off, giving radiant heat through the glass.
Is the flue included with the Air Cubo?
No. The flue is sold separately and specified for your ceiling height and roof. We include the flue parts in your installation quote.
