Description
If you want a fire you can see from across the room, the Liseo K7 Orleans is built around its glass. The wide front panel puts the flames on show, while the cast iron body does the quiet work of storing and releasing heat. The flat top is a practical touch: it makes it easy to set a lintel or cladding above the unit, so the Orleans can sit neatly in a fireplace opening or a chimney breast and take up no extra floor space.
Liseo K7 Orleans Features
Cast iron for even, lasting warmth
At 105 kg, the Orleans has plenty of cast iron mass. That mass warms up and then keeps giving heat after the logs burn down, so the room stays comfortable without constant feeding. Our spec sheet puts the efficiency at 72%, far better than an open grate.
A flexible heat range
As a 10kW wood fireplace, it has a working range of 7 to 14kW. On a mild evening you can run it gently, and on a wet July night you can open the air and let it work harder. It connects to a 180 mm flue at the top.
Neat to install
The unit measures 69 x 44 x 59 cm. Thanks to the flat top, our builders can finish the surround cleanly, which makes it a good cast iron fireplace insert for renovations where an old open fireplace is being closed up.
Built to a high standard
The Orleans carries CE certification and a 5 year warranty, so you have proper backing if anything goes wrong.
Is the K7 Orleans right for your home?
Liseo rates the Orleans for a heating area of about 65 to 125 m2. That covers most medium lounges and many open-plan living areas in Cape Town homes. Rooms with high ceilings or lots of glass sit at the lower end of that range, so share your room size with us and we will confirm it. Compare it with our other built-in fireplaces or the wider Liseo fireplace range.
Installation in Cape Town
Our team supplies and installs the K7 Orleans with a 180 mm flue, a cowl that handles the Cape wind and flashing that keeps out winter rain. We build in the surround where needed and sort out the compliance certificate. Read about our fireplace installation in Cape Town.
Liseo K7 Orleans FAQs
Can the Orleans go into my existing fireplace opening?
Often, yes. It measures 69 x 44 x 59 cm, so many older openings can take it with a little building work. We measure the opening and the chimney on site and tell you exactly what is needed.
How long is the warranty on the K7 Orleans?
It comes with a 5 year warranty. Our team keeps a record of your installation so that any claim is simple to process.
