Description
The Northern Flame Golnar 40 packs efficient, modern heating into a compact body. Its door is mostly glass, framed by a thin black steel border, so the fire takes centre stage. Under the clean lines sits a well thought-out stove that burns wood or anthracite and turns 83% of its fuel into useful heat.
Northern Flame Golnar 40 Features
Hybrid build for faster, cleaner heat
This model uses a hybrid layout: an inner firebox lined with vermiculite brick inside an outer steel shell, plus its own convection box. The inner chamber gets hot fast for clean burning, while the outer box pushes warm air into the room. Cast iron parts around the grate store heat and help the unit last.
A true multi fuel fireplace
Many buyers like the option of using anthracite on very cold nights and wood the rest of the time. The cast iron riddling grate lets you shake ash through with a lever below the handle, which keeps the fire breathing properly on either fuel.
Easy control and clean glass
Two levers do the work. One sets the primary air for lighting and a lively fire. The other feeds the secondary burn and the air wash that sweeps across the glass, so you see more flame and less soot. Secondary combustion also means less smoke and better use of every load.
Eco-design ready fireplace
The Golnar 40 is built to the European Eco-Design standard and is listed as DEFRA approved. South Africa does not require this yet, but it tells you the stove burns cleanly, which is good news for your neighbours and your chimney.
Is the Golnar 40 right for your home?
The rated heating area is 48 m2, so it suits a small to medium lounge, a den or a well insulated open room. It measures 34.1 x 40 x 55.2 cm, weighs 84 kg and takes a 127mm top flue. For bigger spaces, browse our other built-in fireplaces.

Golnar 40 FAQs
Can the Golnar 40 burn anthracite?
Yes. It is a multi fuel model made for wood and anthracite. The riddling grate helps clear ash from coal so it keeps getting air and burns evenly through the evening.
Are Northern Flames fireplaces good for small rooms?
The Northern Flame Golnar 40 is one of the more compact models in the range, rated for about 48 m2. That makes it a sensible match for smaller lounges, where a big stove would overheat the space.
