Description
The Northern Flame Kenna 100 is a double-sided insert with a modern, minimal look. Large Schott Robax glass panels with black borders face both rooms, so the lounge and dining or kitchen area share one fire. It is also a smart way to replace an old, smoky double-sided hearth without major masonry work.
Northern Flame Kenna 100 Double-Sided Features
Simple control, clean glass
Primary air, secondary air and the airwash are all set with a single lever below the door. Secondary combustion burns more of the gases from the wood, so you use less fuel and get less smoke. The vermiculite lining reflects heat onto the glass, which helps keep it clean.
Heat that lasts
Twin baffles, made from vermiculite and stainless steel, slow the flow of hot gas up the flue, so more heat stays in the firebox and reaches the room. The vermiculite also holds heat after the fire goes out. The Kenna comes with its own convection box, which boosts convection heat and gives a clean finish once built in.
Practical details
- Doors open from the right as standard and can be refitted to open left.
- Removable cold handles, or fix them in place with the screw provided.
- A wide firebox that takes standard firewood lengths.
- 15kW output at 77% efficiency, 180 mm top flue.
Is the Kenna 100 Double-Sided right for your home?
Northern Flame rates it for about 145 m2, which suits two connected living spaces or a large open-plan room. It measures 57 x 100 x 57.6 cm and weighs 175 kg, so it needs a solid base. Compare other built-in fireplaces, or read our review of Northern Flame fireplaces.
