EUROPEAN DESIGN, BUILD AND QUALITY…
• Designed and built by Thorma k.s. one of the largest fireplace manufacturers in Europe • Wide range of models to suit any style or interior • Crafted in steel, glass, ceramic tiles, sandstone or soapstone finishes • Easy to operate and maintain • Superior heating characteristics • Incorporating range of smart technologies
ECONOMICAL AND ECOLOGICAL
• Internationally tested and certified to highest quality standards. • Tested and certified for Australian standards by HRL technologies • High efficiency (Australia tested to 65% plus, Europe tested to 80% plus) • Low emissions (0.8 g/kg of wood with Andorra style fireplace) • Wood consumption of less than 50% of conventional fan forced fireplaces • No electric fans used, natural convection and radiation ensures rapid and even heat distribution
SCIENCE OF CLEAN COMBUSTION COMBUSTION CHAMBER Is made of special cast iron base and its walls are lined with vermiculite panels. Its shape and dimensions are optimized to allow effective airflow control, which assists near perfect combustion. VERMICULITE LINING Vermiculite panels insulate the walls of combustion chamber. They can sustain very high combustion temperatures, which increases efficiency of burning and decreases carbon emissions. Another characteristic of vermiculite is that it reflects the heat creating powerful radiation. The result is very high efficiency and heat-retention.

VERMICULITE LINING
AIR SUPPLY-POST COMBUSTION Optimal combustion requires fresh air. There are two ways to feed fresh air into a combustion chamber: 1. Primary air - igniting phase 2. Secondary air - combustion phase and air wash of the glass pane Air supply is operated by one or two controls depending on the type of fireplace. Amount of air supplied controls the rate of burning. In Andorra and Falun style fireplaces the air supply can be connected to the exterior (independent air supply).
AIR SUPPLY-POST COMBUSTION
CONVECTION - EFFECTIVE AND FAST HEAT DISTRIBUTION
CONVECTION -A NATURAL SUBSTITUTE FOR ELECTRIC FANS Convection is a process, which creates airflow between the inner and outer wall of the fireplace. As the temperature inside the combustion chamber rises, the surrounding air mass gets heated up and is being pushed out through the vents on top of the heater. The cold air is drawn in through the vents at the bottom of the heater at the same time. This creates a constant air movement that continues while the heater is in operation. Convection combined with radiation through the glass work so effectively that properly operated fireplace will produce warmth quickly and will ensure effective heat distribution throughout the building.

Special material with ability to accumulate and store the heat for many hours.
Refractory concrete can be installed in: Andorra exclusive, Rodano, Sevilla, Cadis, Delia, Brixen, Falun Ceramic. Another example of Heat Bank Technology are fireplaces clad with Serpentino stone.
The result is a fireplace that radiates gentle and healthy heat longer, further improving combustion and reducing wood consumption.
This natural high thermal mass stone boasts a beautiful colour and natural texture truly complementing the ambience of burning fire. Represented in models Falun Serpentino and Delia Serpentino.
ADDITIONAL FEATURES • Clean, soot free combustion chamber • Self cleaning glass. No messy cleaning, an ash tray is incorporated in all models • Elevated firebox for easier operation and better view of fire • Storage compartment at the base of the fireplace • Possibility to connect to external air supply suitable for energy efficient, well insulated buildings • High quality steel, glass, ceramic or stone finishes. • Multiple colour choices • Non toxic coating • Fireplaces with cook tops or oven • Hot water heating fireplaces for domestic HW or hydronic heating (coming in 2013)
