High Output Fireplace

Escea had renovators in mind when they designed the DF Series. Smaller dimensions and flexible installation make the DF Series ideal for retrofitting into existing cavities.

There is one major difference with this retrofit fire – Direct Vent Power Flue technology. This innovation gives you the flexibility to put the fireplace wherever you like; without the need for cavities or even walls to install. This feature makes the DF Series just as suitable for modern new-builds as retrofits.

Elevate your room, introducing the DF990 - the latest in the DF series coming in at almost 900mm tall.

Features.

Suitable for Retrofit

These fireplaces have been designed for those who want to replace a traditional open-fronted fireplace with a modern and highly efficient fireplace. The DF Series gas fires can be installed in a timber-framed cavity, or in a brick chimney using flexi-flue extensions.

Room Sealed Design.

Escea indoor fireplaces are all glass-fronted with power flueing, so the room air and the firebox air do not mix. This not only helps with heat efficiency, it also makes them airtight and safe from fumes. Giving you a dry and healthy home, with complete peace of mind.

Design Freedom.

Escea’s Powered Direct Vent Flue uses efficient fan technology to heat the room but not the flue. The system also allows the flue to run up, down, and even horizontally - giving you the design flexibility to put your fireplace anywhere.

Walk into Warmth.

Escea Smart Heat connects your fire to your home network and gives you control of your fireplace from your smartphone. Whether you’re driving home from work on a cold winter’s night, or just relaxing on the couch…the perfect temperature is only a swipe away.

DF Surround Choice.

This fireplace has Zero Rated clearance which means the interior wall stays cool enough to handle most materials. There's no need for expensive fire-rated wall constructions and when it comes to the fireplace surround, you have a wider range of choices.

Mantel Surround.

Transform your living room with the old-world charm of a traditional fireplace surround. Available in two sizes, customers can purchase a mantel with the DF700, DF960 or soon-to-be-released DF990. Pre-cut infill panels are also included.
