Description
Tall glass, a deep firebox and 18.5kW of heat make the Kratki LUCY 15 one of the strongest units we install, and a Kratki built-in fireplace that suits a large built-in wood fireplace wall. The door has real height as well as width, so the fire becomes the centre of the room, and the steel body is made to be framed in a cladded wall or chimney breast. If you have a big space to warm and want a modern look, the Lucy deserves a place on your shortlist.
Kratki LUCY 15 Built-In Fireplace Features
A view that fills the wall
The large glass door is the reason most buyers choose the Lucy. Kratki uses heat-resistant glass with an air-wash system, which sweeps air across the inside of the glass and cuts down soot, so you spend more time watching the fire and less time cleaning.
Ceramic lining for steady heat
The combustion chamber is lined with Kratki’s heat-intensifying ceramics. They store heat and release it slowly, which keeps the burn hot and clean. The ceramic base drops in, leaving extra room for a deep bed of coals that carries the warmth through the evening.
Solid steel, built for cold winters
At 205 kg, the steel body is heavy and well made. It measures 54.4 x 46.5 x 139.5 cm and has a top flue outlet with a 200 mm flue. Primary and secondary combustion help the wood burn more completely, giving more heat from each load.
Is the Kratki LUCY 15 right for your home?
Kratki rates the Lucy at roughly 190 to 440 m³ of heated volume. That covers a large lounge, an open-plan living and dining area or a room with a high ceiling. In a smaller room it would run too hot, so ask us to compare it with other units in our built-in fireplaces range first. Our Kratki fireplace buyer’s guide explains the differences between the models.
Installation in Cape Town
A built-in unit of this size needs proper planning: a heat-safe surround, ventilation for the cladding cavity and a 200 mm flue with the right cowl for Cape wind and winter rain. Our team handles the full job, from the built-in fireplace design and cladding to flue, flashing and compliance. You can also view the rest of the Kratki range we supply.
Kratki LUCY 15 FAQs
Is the Lucy 15 too big for a normal lounge?
For a closed lounge of average size it may be more heat than you need. It works best in large or open-plan spaces with higher ceilings. Send us your room measurements and we will tell you honestly if a smaller Kratki fits better.
What warranty comes with Kratki wood fireplaces?
Kratki gives a 5-year warranty on its wood-burning fireplaces. Our team registers the details at installation and stays your first point of contact if anything needs attention.
Does the glass stay clean?
The air-wash system keeps soot down as long as you burn dry, seasoned wood and run the fire hot enough. Wet wood and a closed-down air setting are the usual causes of dark glass.
