Description
For a clean, architectural fireplace wall, the Canature Taurus P3F is designed to sit flush and look neat. It is the insert version of the Taurus, a wood fireplace with crisp modern lines and a large window, meant to sit flush inside a new fireplace wall, a cladded box or an existing chimney opening. If you want strong heat without a stove standing in the room, it is well worth considering.
Canature Taurus P3F Insert Features
High output for big spaces
With a 13kW output, the Taurus P3F is one of the more powerful inserts we fit. It heats through radiation from the glass and front, and through an internal convection system that moves warm air out into the room.
Cleaner burning
Secondary combustion re-ignites the gases from the logs, giving a hotter, cleaner fire and an efficiency of 73%. Airwash technology sends a stream of air down the inside of the glass, so the large window stays clearer for longer.
Solid steel build
The steel body weighs 156 kg and measures 51 x 82 x 51 cm. It connects to a 150 mm flue, which we route up through the cladding and roof.
One fireplace, three layouts
The Taurus range comes in two freestanding versions and this insert version, and an optional frame can be added to finish the opening neatly.
Is the Taurus P3F right for your home?
Canature gives a heating area of about 130 m², so the P3F suits a large lounge, an open-plan living space or a room with a high ceiling. In a small room it would be more than you need. Compare other built-in fireplaces to find the right size.
Installation in Cape Town
A built in wood fireplace needs careful planning: heat-safe cladding, ventilation around the insert, the right flue and a cowl and flashing that stand up to Cape wind and rain. Our team designs and builds the full surround. See our built-in fireplace design and cladding service or browse more Canature fireplaces.
Canature Taurus FAQs
Can the Canature Taurus P3F go into my existing chimney?
Often, yes. If your opening is large enough and the chimney is sound, we can fit the insert and line the chimney with a 150 mm flue. We inspect the opening before quoting.
What is the difference between a fireplace insert and a freestanding stove?
A fireplace insert is built into a wall or cladded box, so only the door and glass show. A freestanding stove stands on a hearth in the room. Inserts look neater but need building work.
