Description
Clean lines, a slim profile and a big flame view: the Carbel Ares is a wood fireplace for people who like a modern interior. The version we stock is the Carbel Ares with Termatek, built from mild steel in anthracite grey. It is only 42 cm deep, so it sits comfortably in front of a wall without taking over the room, yet its 12kW output is enough to warm a large living area.
Carbel Ares Fireplace Features
More heat from less wood
The Ares burns at 79% efficiency. In plain terms, most of the energy in each log ends up as warmth in your home rather than going up the flue. Over a winter that adds up to fewer trips to the woodpile and less money spent on firewood.
A slim, modern shape
At 73 x 42 x 85.5 cm, it is wide and low with a shallow depth, a good match for contemporary homes, renovated cottages and open-plan spaces. Glass panels give you a clear look at the fire from different angles, so it becomes the focal point of the room on a cold night.
Solid and simple
The steel body weighs 125 kg, which gives it a planted, quality feel. The 150 mm flue leaves straight from the top, keeping the pipe run clean and the installation simple.
Is the Carbel Ares right for your home?
Carbel rates this 12kW wood fireplace to heat about 115 m2. That suits a large lounge or an open-plan living and dining area. Rooms with lots of glass, high ceilings or poor insulation will need a little more, so we check your space before you order. You can compare it with our other freestanding fireplaces too.
Installation in Cape Town
Our team supplies and installs the Ares with a 150 mm flue, a cowl suited to Cape wind and roof flashing that keeps out winter rain, and we look after the compliance paperwork. Read how our fireplace installation in Cape Town works, or see every Carbel fireplace in our range.
Carbel Ares FAQs
How big a room will the Carbel Ares heat?
Carbel gives it a heating area of about 115 m2. That is a large lounge or a combined living and dining space. Very tall ceilings or big windows reduce the area it covers well.
Does the Ares fit in a small space?
Its 42 cm depth helps in tighter rooms, but 12kW is a lot of heat for a small lounge. If your room is compact, ask us about a lower output model so you are not overheating the space.
What flue does it need?
A 150 mm flue from the top outlet. We supply and fit the full flue kit, including the ceiling plate, cowl and roof flashing.
