Fireplace insert
Fireplace inserts give every living room a warm and relaxed ambience. The combination of design and efficiency makes the fireplace insert an eye-catching and cosy centrepiece for your home.
Fireplace inserts are available in a wide range of variants, which means that the design can be flexibly customised to meet a variety of design requirements. A fireplace insert is therefore suitable for retrofitting in living spaces as well as for designing a new fireplace in a new build. A water-bearing fireplace insert can also help to optimise the home's heating system by increasing efficiency and reducing heating costs.












































































































































































These are the advantages of a fireplace insert for your home
A fireplace insert, also known as a built-in fireplace, provides pleasant radiant heat and is an environmentally friendly heat source that is both visually and functionally impressive. The fireplace insert (not to be confused with a fireplace cassette, which is designed for installation in old open fireplaces) has a closed combustion chamber, which enables efficient combustion and wood usage. This distinguishes it significantly from open fireplaces, which draw more heat out of the room than they give off, which means that there is less heat loss with fireplace inserts than with open fireplaces.
The fireplace insert also offers numerous design options and can, for example, be installed around a corner or as a three-sided fireplace. Innovative mechanisms such as the option of a smooth-running sliding door and the self-locking doors increase convenience and safety.
The cladding created by the stove builder makes every fireplace with an Austroflamm fireplace insert unique. The insert is suitable for a modern, stylish heating source or as a wood-burning stove for a classic, rustic ambience - the choice is yours.
Environmentally friendly heating with a fireplace insert with Heat Memory System
The patented Heat Memory System from Austroflamm enables environmentally friendly and independent heating. The heavy fireclay-based storage mass of the Heat Memory System has a high heat storage capacity and can absorb heat directly on the outside of the firebox and release it again over a longer period of time.
Fireplace inserts with water technology offer additional advantages
Water-bearing fireplace inserts are an excellent choice for anyone looking for an efficient and environmentally friendly heating solution. These fireplace inserts not only offer an impressive heat output, but also numerous additional benefits. By utilising heat efficiently, they can significantly cut heating costs and reduce energy consumption. They also contribute to sustainable heating, as they utilise the fuel even better thanks to their high efficiency. With fireplace insert with water technology, you can therefore not only keep your home pleasantly warm but also make a contribution to protecting the environment. The Austroflamm AquaHeat water-bearing fireplace insert is an energy-saving champion with energy efficiency class A+. The hot water from the boiler contents is fed into the heating circuit, which reduces the energy requirement of the central heating system.
