Description
The Canature Taurus SI takes the look of the popular Taurus P3F and fits it into a smaller body, so you get the same modern shape and big window in a unit that suits an average South African lounge. It is a steel wood fireplace with a 9kW output, a top flue outlet and a footprint of 40 x 65 cm, which makes it easy to place on a standard hearth plate.
Canature Taurus SI Freestanding Features
A big window on a 9kW wood fireplace
The glass takes up most of the front, so the flames stay the centre of attention. An airwash system sends a curtain of air down the inside of the glass, which cuts down on soot and means less scrubbing after a weekend of fires.
Secondary combustion for more heat per log
Gases that would normally escape up the flue are burnt a second time inside the firebox. Canature rates the Taurus SI at 75% efficiency, so more of the wood you buy ends up as heat in your lounge.
Radiant and convection heat together
The steel body radiates warmth into the room, while an internal convection channel moves warm air out through the top. The result is a lounge that warms up quickly and stays even, rather than one hot spot in front of the door.
Three ways to fit it
The Taurus SI comes in two freestanding versions and an insert version, so we can match it to an open room or an existing fireplace opening. The freestanding model weighs 126 kg and connects to a 150 mm flue.
Is the Taurus SI right for your home?
Canature gives a heating area of about 90 m2, which covers a medium to large lounge or a modest open-plan space. Rooms with high ceilings or lots of glass need more heat, so share your measurements and we will confirm the fit. You can compare it with our other freestanding fireplaces or the wider Canature fireplace range.

Canature Taurus SI FAQs
Is the Canature Taurus SI the same as the Taurus P3F?
It shares the P3F styling and large window but is the smaller model in the family. It still gives 9kW, which is plenty for most lounges, and it takes up less floor space.
How do I keep the glass clean?
Burn dry, seasoned wood and let the fire breathe when you first light it. The airwash then keeps most soot off the glass. A wipe with a damp cloth and a little ash once the unit is cold handles the rest.
Can it go into my existing fireplace?
Yes, there is an insert version of the Taurus SI built for an existing opening. We measure the space and check the chimney before we recommend which version to fit.
