Description
The Nordflam Augusta fireplace is built for homes that want a classic cast iron fire in a tall, narrow shape. It stands just over a metre high but is only 45 cm wide, which makes it easy to place in a corner, beside a doorway or in a lounge where floor space is tight.
Nordflam Augusta Features
Cast iron for even warmth
Cast iron takes a little longer to heat up, but once it is warm it gives off steady, gentle heat and keeps doing so after the flames die down. At 116 kg, the Augusta has plenty of mass to store that heat and release it through the evening.
Efficient wood burning
A 77% efficiency rating means most of the energy in the wood ends up in the room, not up the flue. You burn fewer logs for the same comfort, and the glass stays cleaner when the fire is run well.
Tall and compact
The Augusta measures 36.7 x 45 x 103.4 cm and connects to a 150 mm flue at the top. The vertical shape draws the eye upward and works well in modern rooms as well as older homes with higher ceilings.
Is the Augusta right for your home?
Our specs rate this 10kW cast iron wood fireplace for about 78 m2. That covers a medium to large lounge, or a living and dining area together. If your room is much bigger or has very high ceilings, see our other freestanding fireplaces or ask us for a sizing check.
Installation in Cape Town
Our team supplies the Augusta with a 150 mm flue, a cowl that suits Cape wind and roof flashing that keeps out winter rain. We fit a proper hearth plate and take care of the compliance paperwork. Find out how our fireplace installation works, or browse the wider Nordflam fireplace range.
Nordflam Augusta FAQs
Is a tall wood stove better than a wide one?
Neither is better, they suit different rooms. A tall stove like the Augusta saves floor space and suits narrow spaces, while a wider unit takes longer logs. We help you pick based on your room.
How long does cast iron stay warm?
Cast iron holds heat well, so the Augusta keeps the room warm for a good while after the last log burns down. How long depends on the room, insulation and how hot the fire ran.
