Description
Three panes of glass set the Nordflam Brema side glass apart from a standard box stove. You see the flames from the front and from both sides, which makes this side glass fireplace a natural centrepiece for a lounge where people sit around the fire rather than only in front of it. Under the looks sits a solid cast iron firebox that weighs 127 kg and gives out steady, lasting heat.
Nordflam Brema Side Glass Wood Stove Features
Afterburning for more heat from each log
The Brema has an adjustable tertiary air supply that enters through inlets on the back wall of the firebox. This extra air burns off the wood gas that a simple stove sends up the flue. The result is more usable heat, less smoke and lower emissions. Our listing gives an efficiency of 70%, and the stove meets the European eco-design requirements.
A clear view of the fire
The large glazed door and side panels let light from the flames fill the room. On a cold Cape Town evening that view is half the reason to own a wood fire, and the side glass means the stove still looks good from the couch or the dining table.
Cast iron that holds its warmth
Cast iron heats up evenly and keeps radiating once the fire burns down, so the room stays comfortable for longer between reloads. The stove measures 41.3 x 57.5 x 78.7 cm and connects to a 150 mm flue through a top outlet.
Is the Nordflam Brema right for your home?
With a 10kW output and a rated heating area of about 100 m², the Brema suits a large lounge or an open-plan living and dining area. Rooms with high ceilings or a lot of glass lose heat faster, so send us your room size and a few photos and we will confirm the fit. You can compare it with the rest of our freestanding fireplaces or every other Nordflam fireplace we stock.
Installation in Cape Town
Our team supplies and installs the Brema with the right 150 mm flue, cowl and roof flashing for Cape wind and winter rain, and we make sure the hearth and clearances meet the regulations. Three glass panels also mean more glass to care for, and we offer fireplace glass and rope replacement if a pane or door seal ever needs attention.
Nordflam Brema FAQs
Does the side glass get dirty quickly?
Dry, seasoned wood and a hot fire keep all three panes much cleaner. Wet wood and a low, smoky burn cause most soot marks. A quick wipe with a stove glass cleaner when the stove is cold is usually all it needs.
What output does the Nordflam Brema side glass give?
We list it at 10kW with a heating area of about 100 m². Older Brema literature quotes 11kW, so we work from the 10kW figure when we size a room and leave some margin for high ceilings.
What size flue does it need?
The Brema takes a 150 mm flue from a top outlet. We plan the flue route through the ceiling and roof, or into an existing chimney where that is safe, during the site visit.
