Description
Compact and raised on its own pedestal, the Hampton Vista 500 Pedestal from Northern Flame suits smaller rooms well. It is a compact, clean-lined wood stove on its own pedestal stand, with a large window in a heavy cast iron door. It is efficient, easy to control and made for modern homes.
Hampton Vista 500 Pedestal Features
Efficient heat for smaller rooms
Rated at 5kW with an efficiency of 81.30%, the Vista turns more of every log into room heat. A clever air system draws air between two steel layers and feeds it back over the fire, burning off smoke and keeping the glass clean with an air wash curtain.
Fits closer to the wall
Thanks to its built-in heat shield, the Vista needs less gap to nearby combustible walls than many stoves, provided a twin walled flue connects directly to the top. We measure the exact clearances on site. That makes it a strong pick for corner spots and against-the-wall installs where space is tight.
Solid build and fine control
The body is cast iron and steel, with a 30mm cast iron door, a thick steel top and a vermiculite lined chamber. A precise dial on the side gives fine control of the burn. The firebox takes logs of about 25 centimetres and burns wood on a flat base, so no grate is needed.
Cleaner burning
The Vista 500 is an eco-design fireplace that meets the SIA Eco-Design 2022 standard and is DEFRA approved for wood. That means lower smoke and particulate levels than an older stove.

Northern Flame Hampton Vista FAQs
Can the Hampton Vista 500 go in a corner?
Yes. The heat shield and top or rear flue options make corner and wall installations easy. We confirm the clearances on site.
Does it need an outside air supply?
It can be connected to an external air intake, which helps in well-sealed modern homes. In most Cape Town lounges, room air is enough.
