Description
Tall, narrow and finished in black, the Thorma Wicantica Black gives you a proper wood fire without taking over the room. It stands just over a metre high at 102.1 cm, is only 39 cm deep, and delivers 7.5kW of heat for a medium sized lounge. It is a smart pick where floor space is tight but you still want a fire you can watch.
Thorma Wicantica Black Wood Fireplace Features
Slim footprint, full fire
With a footprint of 39 x 54.9 cm, the Wicantica slots into a corner or alcove where a wide stove would crowd the room. The tall shape lifts the flame picture closer to eye level, so you see the fire from the couch.
Wood or briquettes
You can burn firewood or brown coal briquettes. Briquettes are handy when dry wood runs short in a wet Cape winter, and they give a slower, more even burn late into the night.
A black finish that suits any style
This black wood fireplace works with modern, farmhouse or classic interiors. The 100 kg body holds heat well, and the top 150 mm flue keeps the line clean above the unit.
Is the Wicantica right for your home?
As a rough guide, a 7.5kW fireplace suits a small to medium lounge of about 50 to 80 m2 with a normal ceiling. Open stairwells, high ceilings and big windows need more heat, so share your room size with us and we will confirm the fit. Compare it with other freestanding fireplaces or see all our fireplaces.

Thorma Wicantica Black FAQs
Is the Wicantica a good choice for a small lounge?
Yes. Its narrow 39 cm depth and moderate 7.5kW output make it well suited to smaller and medium rooms, where a big stove would overheat the space. We can help you place it for the best spread of warmth.
What can I burn in the Wicantica?
It is made for firewood and brown coal briquettes. Always use dry, seasoned wood for a clean burn and clear glass, and avoid treated timber, which damages the firebox and the flue.
