Description
The Carbel Atlas insert is a large built-in wood fireplace for homeowners who want to warm more than one room from a single fire. It can channel hot air through ducting to other parts of the house, and it now has front hot air outlets as well, so the room it sits in gets plenty of warmth too.
Carbel Atlas Insert Features
Heat more of the house
Ducted warm air is the big benefit of the Atlas. With Carbel convection outlets, warmth can be piped to a passage, a bedroom or a study, which spreads the value of the fire beyond the lounge.
High efficiency
At 84% efficiency, the Atlas gets more usable heat from each log than many inserts. That means fewer loads of wood, less ash and a cleaner flue over time.
Framed for a neat finish
This fireplace insert with frame includes a four-sided frame, which gives a clean edge where the unit meets your cladding or wall. This version has no fan, so it runs quietly on natural convection.
Size and flue
The Atlas is mild steel in anthracite grey, weighs 120 kg and measures 70 x 43 x 113 cm. It connects to a 180 mm top flue, so we plan the flue route early in the design.
Is the Carbel Atlas insert right for your home?
Carbel rates it at 12kW for about 115 m2. That suits a large lounge or open-plan living area, with ducting to share heat with nearby rooms. See other built-in fireplaces if you need something smaller.
Installation in Cape Town
Our team designs the surround, plans any hot air ducting and fits the 180 mm flue with the right cowl and flashing for Cape weather. Our built-in fireplace design and cladding service covers it all, and you can browse more Carbel fireplace models.
Carbel Atlas FAQs
Can the Atlas fireplace heat other rooms?
Yes. It is designed to channel hot air to other rooms through ducting and Carbel convection outlets. We plan the duct runs during the design stage so they stay hidden in the build.
Is this the 12kW or 13kW model?
Our specifications list it at 12kW. If you have seen a 13kW figure, ask our team and we will confirm the exact output for the stock unit before you order.
