Description
Want the look of a log fire without carrying wood or cleaning ash? The SAFire Emberglo 700 Wall-mounted / Ledge gives you a 180 degree view of a realistic log-effect fire, set on a shelf or ledge at a comfortable viewing height. It runs on gas, lights in seconds and puts out a strong 12kW, so it heats as well as it looks.
SAFire Emberglo 700 Gas Fireplace Features
Glass on three sides
The Emberglo 700 has three glass sides, so the fire can be seen from the front and both ends. That makes it a strong choice for a lounge, dining room or entrance hall where people sit or walk past from different angles.
Real flames, no wood
Ceramic logs sit on the burner and are placed to give varied, natural-looking flames. The log set, your pick of black lava rock or white river stones, plus a remote control come in the box. Adjustable flame settings let you go from a cosy glow to full heat.
Easy and safe to use
A piezo ignitor built into the control valve lights the burner when you turn the knob, so you never need matches. A flame failure device cuts the gas if the flame goes out, which is why many families choose this ledge gas fireplace for living areas and even bedrooms.
One range, three ways to install
The Emberglo range can be fitted as a built-in insert, as a freestanding unit on a 30cm pedestal, or wall-mounted on a shelf or ledge as here. The steel body measures 41 x 70 x 56.5 cm and connects to a 150 mm flue, with 78% efficiency.
Is the Emberglo 700 right for your home?
SAFire rates it to heat about 115 m2, enough for most lounges and many open-plan living areas. It suits homes that want instant heat on cold Cape evenings without the mess of wood. Compare it with other gas fireplaces or our wall mounted fireplaces, and read our guide to wall hanging gas fireplaces.
Gas installation in Cape Town
This unit needs a fixed gas line and a flue, and the law requires a registered LP gas installer to fit it. Our team handles the gas line, flue, cowl and compliance certificate in one job. See our gas fireplace installation service, or compare every SAFire gas fireplace in the SAFire range.
SAFire Emberglo 700 FAQs
Does the Emberglo 700 need a flue?
Yes. It is made for use in a ventilated room with a flue, so it is not a flueless heater. We fit a 150 mm flue with the right termination for your roof and wind exposure.
Can a wall mounted gas fireplace go in a bedroom?
SAFire lists the Emberglo 700 as suitable for bedroom and bathroom installs because of its flue and flame failure device. We check ventilation and room size on site first.
