Description
The Euro Rheia is a practical, good-looking way to heat a family home with wood. It is a closed combustion freestanding fireplace with a steel body, a vermiculite lined firebox and a large German Schott glass door. You get a big view of the fire, controlled heat and much less wood use than an open hearth.
Euro Rheia Fireplace Features
8 to 10kW of controllable heat
The Rheia gives between 8 and 10kW depending on how you load and set the air. That range covers a mid-size to larger lounge, and you can turn it down on mild evenings instead of opening windows.
Steel body with vermiculite lining
Steel heats up quickly, so the room feels warm soon after lighting. The vermiculite inside reflects heat back into the fire, helping it burn hotter and cleaner, which also keeps the glass clearer.
German Schott glass door
The large door uses Schott glass, made to handle high heat. A sealed glass door also keeps sparks and embers safely inside, which matters in homes with children and pets.
A stand alone fireplace indoor option
As a stand alone fireplace for indoor use, the Rheia does not need a brick chimney. It stands on a hearth plate and connects to a 150 mm flue from the top. At 45 x 39 x 76 cm and 68 kg it is easy to place, even in a room that never had a fireplace. It is a modern fireplace freestanding design that fits many decor styles.
Is the Rheia right for your home?
Our product data rates the Rheia for rooms of 60 to 100 m2, so it suits most family lounges and many open-plan spaces. For larger rooms, see our full range of freestanding fireplaces or the wider fireplace collection.

Euro Rheia FAQs
How much wood does a closed combustion fireplace save?
A closed unit like the Rheia burns up to a third less wood than an open fire for the same heat. The sealed door and air control let you manage the burn instead of losing heat up the chimney.
Can I put the Rheia in a room without a chimney?
Yes. It only needs a 150 mm flue through the ceiling and roof. We check your roof type and ceiling space on site and plan the flue route before installation day.
