Description
The SAfire Heeta 950 Oakley mixes a retro, mid-century look with the heat output of a big Heeta. Solid oak legs lift the firebox off the floor, and fluted panels in 3cr12 stainless steel wrap the outside, so it reads as a piece of furniture as much as a heater.
SAfire Heeta 950 Oakley Wood Fireplace Features
A design people notice
Most large wood fireplaces are plain black boxes. The Oakley stands apart with warm timber legs and vertical fluting on the casing, which suits modern farmhouse, Scandi and mid-century interiors. It is a talking point in the room even before the fire is lit.
Real heat for big spaces
Output runs from 12 to 16kW, and Heeta rates it at 80% efficiency. That means you can heat a large area while burning less wood than an older or open fire would need. The steel body weighs 140 kg, which helps it hold and release heat evenly.
Size and flue
The Oakley measures 910 mm wide, 745 mm high and 480 mm deep, and it connects to a 150 mm flue from the top. The wide firebox takes good-sized logs, so you load it less often on a cold night.
Is the Heeta 950 Oakley right for your home?
The maker rates it for up to 400 m³ of space, which is roughly a 150 m2 room with a normal ceiling. That makes it a good fit for open-plan homes, double-volume lounges and farm kitchens. In a small lounge it will be too strong, so see our other freestanding fireplaces or ask us to compare.
Installation in Cape Town
Our team supplies and installs the Oakley with a 150 mm flue, a cowl that copes with the south-easter, and proper roof flashing. Because the legs are timber, we also make sure the hearth and clearances are right. Learn more about our fireplace installation service or see the full Heeta fireplace range.
SAfire Heeta 950 Oakley FAQs
Are the oak legs safe so close to a fire?
Yes, the legs sit below the firebox, away from the hottest surfaces, and the unit stands on a non-combustible hearth. We check floor and wall clearances during installation.
How is the Oakley different from a standard Heeta 950?
The firebox and heat output are in the same big 950 class, but the Oakley adds solid oak legs and fluted stainless steel panels for a softer, more furniture-like look.
