Description
Not every home has space for a big box stove, and that is where the Thorma Bozen Bordeaux earns its place. It is a tall, narrow wood fireplace with a square footprint of only 32.6 x 32.6 cm, standing 90.6 cm high. The upright shape draws the eye without crowding the room, and the 5kW output gives cosy, even heat for smaller spaces. If you want a real wood fire in a flat, a cottage or a compact lounge, the Bozen is worth a look.
Thorma Bozen Bordeaux Wood Fireplace Features
Built for small spaces
The slim column design tucks into a corner or a short wall where a wider stove would block a walkway. It also leaves room on the hearth for a log basket. Because it is tall rather than wide, it still has a strong presence and works as a feature in the room.
The right amount of heat
A 5kW wood fireplace is a sensible size for a small room. Oversized stoves get run on a low burn to stop the room overheating, which wastes wood and dirties the glass. The Bozen can burn properly at its normal output and keep a small lounge comfortable through a winter evening.
Easy on the floor and the flue
At 63 kg it is light for a wood stove, so most timber and tiled floors only need a standard hearth plate. It connects to a 120 mm flue, a common size that keeps the flue run simple and neat.
Is the Bozen right for your home?
As a rough guide, 5 to 7kW suits a small to medium room of about 40 to 70 m2, and the Bozen sits at the smaller end of that. It is a good match for a bedroom suite, a study, a granny flat or a small lounge with a normal ceiling. It is a good small freestanding fireplace, but for an open-plan space, look at a larger model in our freestanding fireplaces range. You can also browse the full Thorma fireplace collection.

Thorma Bozen FAQs
Will a 5kW stove heat my lounge?
It will heat a small lounge well, roughly up to 40 m2 with a normal ceiling. Large windows, high ceilings or an open stairwell all pull heat away, so send us your room size and we will tell you whether the Bozen is enough.
Can the Thorma Bozen Bordeaux go in a corner?
Yes, its narrow square base suits a corner well. It still needs safe clearances to walls and furniture, and a non-combustible hearth under it. Our team measures this on site before installation.
