Description
The Nordflam Primo is a straightforward, well-built wood fireplace that does the basics properly: strong heat, a clear view of the fire and a compact shape that fits most lounges. With 9KW of output and a rated heating area of about 90 m2, it covers a good-sized living room through a Cape winter.
Nordflam Primo Fireplace Features
Cast iron deflector for more heat
Above the fire sits a cast iron deflector that lengthens the path the hot gases take before they leave the stove. The longer they stay inside, the more heat passes into the room, which helps the Primo reach 72% efficiency.
Glass that stays cleaner
An air curtain system sends a stream of air down the inside of the fireproof glass. Air curtain glass stays clearer for longer, so you see the flames rather than a sooty window, and you spend less time cleaning.
Sized for real lounges
The Primo measures 39.5 x 60 x 60 cm and weighs 90 kg on our spec sheet. It connects to a 150 mm flue from the top or the rear, which gives our installers options in rooms with beams, sloped ceilings or an existing chimney.
Is the Nordflam Primo right for your home?
Its rated heating area is about 90 m2, so it suits a medium to large lounge or a compact open-plan area. As a 9kW wood fireplace it is too strong for a small study or bedroom. See our other freestanding fireplaces if you need something smaller.
Installation in Cape Town
Our team supplies and installs the Primo with a 150 mm flue, a cowl built for Cape wind and roof flashing sealed against winter rain, and we issue the compliance certificate on completion. Read about our fireplace installation in Cape Town or browse the full Nordflam fireplace range.
Nordflam Primo FAQs
How much does the Nordflam Primo weigh?
Our specification lists it at 90 kg. That is manageable for our installers but heavy enough to need a proper non-combustible hearth plate. We check the floor and the hearth area on site before installation.
Is Nordflam a good fireplace brand?
Nordflam is a European maker known for practical, well-priced stoves. The Primo is a good example: simple controls, a clean-burning design and solid build quality. Our team can compare it with other brands for your room.
