Description
A built-in fire should look like part of the house, not an afterthought. The Carbel i80 V-board does that well: a wide sheet of panoramic glass, a mild steel body and a flush finish once the wall is clad around it. With 13kW of output it is one of the stronger models in the Carbel i range.
Carbel i80 Built-in Fireplace Features
A wide view of the fire
The i range uses larger panoramic glass and a bigger combustion area than older Carbel inserts. On the i80 that means a long, low flame picture that suits a feature wall or TV wall.
Flexible door and frame
The door is reversible, so it can open to the left or right to suit your room. The door and seal are reinforced for a firm, quality close. Frame options include slim and wider surrounds, which we confirm when we design the cladding.
Solid build and size
The body is mild steel and measures 78.4 x 59.1 x 46 cm. A 150 mm flue connects from the top or rear, which gives us room to plan around beams and roof lines.
Is the Carbel i 80 V-board right for your home?
Carbel rates this 13kW wood fireplace for about 125 m2, which covers a large lounge or open-plan living area. Double-volume ceilings and big glass doors need extra care, so share your plans and we will check it. You can also compare our other built-in fireplaces and the wider fireplace range.
Installation in Cape Town
A built-in unit needs the right firebox build, ventilation and cladding as well as a sound flue. Our team handles the whole job, from the chamber to the flue, cowl and flashing for Cape weather. See our built-in fireplace design and cladding service, or view every Carbel fireplace we supply.
Carbel i80 FAQs
What is the V-board on the Carbel i80?
The V-board version is the build-in model of the i80, made to be framed into a wall and clad around. We advise on the frame style and finish that suit your wall during the design stage.
Can the i80 door open from the left?
Yes. The door is reversible, so it can hinge on the left or the right. We set it up to suit the way you walk into the room and where you stack your wood.
