Description
The Thorma Bilbao UNI on pedestal is a freestanding fireplace that sits on a slim stand rather than squat legs. Raising the firebox brings the flames closer to eye level when you are seated, and the open space below the stove keeps the look light. It is a strong choice for homeowners who want the fire to be the first thing guests notice.
Thorma Bilbao UNI Fireplace Features
Why a pedestal fireplace
A pedestal base gives the stove a neat, sculpted shape and makes it easier to see from across an open plan room. It also lifts the door, so loading and cleaning mean less bending.
Freestanding and flexible
As a freestanding unit it does not need a brick chamber. It can stand on a hearth plate in a lounge corner, against a feature wall or out in the room, with a flue running up through the ceiling.
A name to know
The UNI tag is part of the model name, and many buyers search for it as a uni fire. If you have seen it in a showroom or a magazine and want to know exactly what it is, our team can talk you through the details.

Is the Bilbao UNI on pedestal right for your home?
Room size depends on the heat output, ceiling height and how well the room holds heat. Send us your floor area, ceiling height and a few photos, and we will confirm whether the Bilbao suits the space or whether another model from our freestanding fireplaces range is a better match.
Installation in Cape Town
Our team supplies and installs the stove with the correct flue, a cowl that copes with Cape wind and sealed flashing for winter rain, and we handle compliance. See how our fireplace installation in Cape Town works, or view the full Thorma fireplace range.
Thorma Bilbao UNI FAQs
What does on pedestal mean for a fireplace?
It means the stove stands on a single central base instead of four legs. The base raises the firebox for a better view of the fire and gives a cleaner, more modern outline.
Can the Bilbao UNI go in the middle of a room?
Often, yes. A freestanding stove can sit away from walls as long as it has the right clearances and a safe flue route through the ceiling. We check this on site before we install.
