Description
Set into a wall or chimney breast, the Hydrofire Restort 80 Std gives a lounge a clean, finished look. The steel firebox sits inside a wall or chimney breast, and all you see is a wide pane of glass and the flames behind it. With 9.8kW of output and 80% efficiency, it is a practical heater as well as a design feature.
Hydrofire Restort 80 Std Built-in Fireplace Features
A focal point that saves space
Because the Restort 80 is built in, it does not stand out into the room. That suits modern lounges, smaller living areas and renovations where you want heat without a bulky stove on the floor.
Large glass, clear view
The big front window shows off the fire from across the room. It is the kind of view people expect from an open hearth, but with the safety and heat control of a closed unit.
Efficient wood heat
At 80% efficiency, the Restort sends far more warmth into your home than an old open fireplace. You burn less wood for the same comfort, and you can control the burn rate to suit the evening.
Sized for a proper built-in
The unit measures 75 x 48.5 x 111 cm, weighs 124 kg and uses a 200 mm top flue outlet. We plan the cladding, ventilation and flue run around those figures so the finished wall looks tidy and works safely.
Is the Restort 80 right for your home?
Our specifications give a heating area of about 65 m², which suits a medium lounge or a family room. In a bigger open-plan space or a room with high ceilings it will work harder, so send us your measurements first. You can compare it with other built-in fireplaces or browse the full Hydrofire fireplace range.
Installation in Cape Town
A built-in unit needs careful work: a non-combustible surround, air gaps, a 200 mm flue and a weather-tight cowl and flashing for Cape wind and rain. Our team does the full job, from wall design to compliance. See our built-in fireplace design and cladding service for examples.
Hydrofire Restort 80 Std FAQs
Can the Restort 80 go into my existing fireplace?
Often, yes. If the opening and chimney are in good shape, we can fit the unit and line the flue. If the space is too small or the chimney is damaged, we will suggest a new cladded wall instead.
Is a built-in fireplace harder to service?
Not if it is installed properly. We leave access for the flue and keep the glass, rope and baffle easy to reach, so cleaning and yearly checks stay simple.
What does Std mean on the Restort 80?
It is the standard flat-front version of the model. Our team can talk you through the other Hydrofire built-in options if you want a different glass layout.
