Description
Large spaces are where the Nordflam Katania earns its keep. With 13kW of output and a rated heating area of 130 m², this steel wood stove can heat a big open-plan living, dining and kitchen area that a smaller stove would leave cold in the corners. As a large room fireplace, its broad, low shape also makes a strong focal point.
Nordflam Katania Wood Fireplace Features
Serious heat for large rooms
13kW is a lot of warmth. It brings a big room up to temperature quickly on a cold evening and then holds it there with a steady burn. That makes the Katania a good fit for double-volume lounges and homes where one fire has to do most of the heating.
Efficient slow combustion
Our listing gives the Katania an efficiency of 78%. A closed, slow combustion firebox controls the air to the fire, so the wood burns longer and more completely. You load less often and use less wood over a winter than you would with an open fireplace.
Wide and solid
The stove measures 51 x 82 x 90 cm. The wide front gives a broad view of the flames and room for a good load of logs. It connects to a 150 mm flue from a top outlet, a size that gives a strong draw.
Is the Nordflam Katania right for your home?
Choose the Katania for a room of around 100 to 130 m², or a smaller space with a very high ceiling. In an average 40 m² lounge it would be too much heat and you would need to run it low, which wastes wood. Send us your room size and we will check. You can also compare every Nordflam fireplace we sell and the rest of our freestanding fireplaces.
Installation in Cape Town
Our team supplies and fits the Katania with a 150 mm flue, a cowl built for the south-easter and roof flashing that stays sealed in the winter rain. We confirm the hearth size and clearances to walls and furniture first. See how our fireplace installation service works.
Nordflam Katania FAQs
Is the Nordflam Katania made of cast iron?
Our listing gives steel as the body material. Steel heats up fast, so the room warms quickly after you light the fire, which suits busy evenings.
Can a 13kW wood fireplace heat the whole house?
In an open-plan home it can carry a lot of the load, as warm air moves through connected rooms. Closed-off bedrooms down a passage will stay cooler, so plan for that when you choose.
