Description
The Godin Regence Black is for people who love the look of a proper old-fashioned stove. Godin is a name with a long history in cast iron heating, and the Regence keeps that traditional character in a practical 6.5kW wood fireplace. Its deep black finish suits a classic lounge, a farmhouse kitchen or a modern room that needs a bit of warmth and soul.
Godin Regence Black Features
A cast iron wood fireplace with real presence
The Regence combines cast iron and steel, and weighs about 92 kg. That weight is useful: it soaks up heat and releases it slowly, so the room stays comfortable even when the fire burns down. It also gives the fireplace a solid, quality feel.
Steady 6.5kW output
A 6.5kW rating is a sweet spot for many South African homes. It is enough to warm a family lounge on a cold Cape night without forcing you to open windows to cool down.
Generous flue size
The Regence uses a 153 mm flue. A wider flue helps the stove draw well, which makes lighting easier and keeps smoke going up and out, not into your room.
Compact footprint
At 32 x 65 x 60 cm it sits neatly on a hearth plate or inside an existing fireplace opening, which makes it a handy upgrade for an old open fire.
Is the Godin Regence right for your home?
As a rough guide, a 5 to 7kW fireplace suits a small to medium lounge of about 40 to 70 m2 with a normal ceiling. Large windows or a high ceiling reduce that, so send us your room size and photos and we will confirm the fit. You can also compare our full fireplace range or the other freestanding fireplaces we stock.

Godin Regence Black FAQs
Can the Godin Regence go into my old open fireplace?
In many homes, yes. Its compact size often fits an existing opening. We check the chimney condition and fit a flue liner or new flue where needed, so the stove draws safely.
What wood should I burn in a Godin fireplace?
Use dry, seasoned hardwood such as rooikrans, sekelbos or kameeldoring. Dry wood lights easily, gives more heat and keeps the glass and flue cleaner.
