Description
The Northern Flame Kenna 82 Ledge is a large, minimalist wood insert made for homeowners who want a wide view of the fire and serious heat for an open-plan space. It can be built into a cladded wall, or placed on a ledge or plinth as a design feature, which gives you more freedom when you plan the room.
Northern Flame Kenna 82 Ledge Features
A big window with a clean frame
The Schott Robax ceramic glass has an opaque black border, so the fire is the focus and the frame stays out of the way. The door opens from the right as standard, but it can be reversed to open from the left if that suits your layout better.
Heat that keeps working after the flames drop
The firebox is lined with vermiculite, which holds heat and also helps keep the glass clean by reflecting hot air back towards it. A double baffle of stainless steel and vermiculite keeps the hot gases in the chamber for longer, and secondary combustion burns off more of the smoke. The result is 78.50% efficiency and steady warmth with less wood.
Simple control with one lever
One lever below the door sets the main air, the secondary air and the glass air wash together. A built-in convection box moves warm air into the room and makes for a neat finish when it is cladded. The firebox takes logs of around 40 centimetres, and the unit connects to a 150 mm top flue.
Is the Kenna 82 Ledge right for your home?
At 13kW, Northern Flame rates this built-in wood fireplace for about 125 m2. That makes it a strong choice for a large lounge, an open-plan living and dining area or a room with a high ceiling. In a smaller room it can run too hot, so share your floor plan with us and we will check the size. You can compare other options in our built-in fireplaces range.
Installation in Cape Town
A built-in insert needs careful planning: the surround, ventilation, flue route and roof flashing all need to be right for Cape wind and winter rain. Our team handles the full job through our built-in fireplace design and cladding service, and you can see the wider Northern Flame fireplace line on our brand page.
Northern Flame Kenna 82 Ledge FAQs
Can the Kenna 82 Ledge stand on its own?
Yes. It can be installed as it is on a designer ledge or plinth, and an optional stand turns it into a tall freestanding unit. We will help you choose the setup that suits your wall, floor and flue route.
What guarantee comes with it?
The Kenna 82 Ledge carries a five-year limited guarantee from the maker. It is also Eco-Design 2022 compliant and CE certified, which points to a cleaner burn and tested safety.
How much wood does a 13kW fireplace use?
Northern Flame gives a nominal use of about three and a half kilograms of wood per hour. Dry hardwood and good air settings keep the burn clean and help you get the most heat from each load.
