Description
If you want a stove with weight, character and real staying power, the Godin Madras is a fine choice. It is a cast iron wood fireplace from Godin, a name with a long history in French stove making, and it puts out 9kW of steady heat. The Madras fireplace suits buyers who would rather have a traditional, solid feel than a thin, modern box.
Godin Madras Wood Fireplace Features
Cast iron warmth
A cast iron wood stove heats up gradually and keeps radiating warmth after the flames settle. The result is a more even temperature in the room and fewer trips to the wood pile. On a long winter evening, that slow, gentle heat is what makes cast iron so popular.
Size and weight
The Madras measures 48.4 x 58 x 90 cm and weighs 107 kg. It sits comfortably on a standard hearth plate and has enough presence to be the focal point of a lounge without overpowering it.
Flue and fuel
It burns wood and connects to a 153 mm flue. We match the right flue parts and cowl to that outlet so the stove draws well and stays clean.
Is the Godin Madras right for your home?
We do not have a maker heating figure, so as a rough guide a 9kW fireplace suits a larger lounge or open plan area of about 70 to 120 m2 with normal ceilings. High ceilings and lots of glass reduce that. Compare it with our other freestanding fireplaces to see what fits.
Installation in Cape Town
Our team supplies and installs the Madras with the correct flue, cowl and flashing for Cape wind and winter rain, and we handle compliance. Find out more about our fireplace installation in Cape Town, view the full Godin range, or read why a Godin fireplace suits SA homes.
