Description
Floating off the wall, the Hydrofire Nova Wall Mounted side glass turns a plain wall into the focal point of the room. There is no stand or legs, so the floor stays clear and the space feels larger, and glass on three sides lets you watch the flames from almost anywhere in the lounge. It suits a minimal, modern interior where a traditional stove would feel heavy.
Hydrofire Nova Wall Mounted Side Glass Features
Wall mounted, clear floor
With no base, the Nova frees up floor space in a compact home or a busy open-plan area. It is easy to clean under and leaves room for a low bench or a stack of logs.
Cast iron firebox
As a cast iron fireplace at heart, the Nova spreads and holds heat well. Air vents control how much air reaches the fire, so you can set a fast, bright flame or a slower burn. Our listing gives an output of 10 to 12kW, an efficiency of 72% and a heating area of about 110 m².
Easy upkeep
The ash pan lifts out and the grate is cast iron, so cleaning out is quick. The Nova is imported from Bulgaria, carries CE certification and comes with a five-year limited warranty.
Is the Hydrofire Nova right for your home?
The Nova suits a medium to large lounge or an open-plan room up to about 110 m², and it also works well as a feature on an empty wall. The wall must carry the weight of 107 kg, so we check the construction before we confirm the fit. Our wall mounted fireplace buyer’s guide explains what to look for, and you can compare other wall mounted fireplaces and any other Hydrofire fireplace in our range.
Installation in Cape Town
Our team mounts the Nova on a sound wall, fits a 150 mm flue from the top outlet and finishes the roof with a cowl and flashing that stand up to Cape wind and winter rain. The flue can be sprayed black as an option for a neat look. Three glass panels need some care over the years, and we also offer glass and rope replacement when seals or panes wear.
Hydrofire Nova FAQs
Can the Hydrofire Nova hang on a drywall?
Not on its own. The fireplace needs a solid brick or concrete wall, or a properly built support, to carry its weight safely. We inspect the wall first and advise on any work needed.
Is a wall mounted fireplace as warm as a freestanding one?
Yes, the heat comes from the firebox, not the stand. The Nova gives 10 to 12kW, the same kind of heat as a large freestanding stove, with the bonus of a clear floor.
