Fireplaces - Filiofocus Central | Focus

Focus fireplaces are made in France and a number of them are highly energy-efficient. Filifocus Central is a central fireplace with a glass-panel fixed-hood. Filiofocus comes in two versions: version 2000 and version 1600. This model has curved heat-resistant glass panels. Filiofocus was awarded the Gold Medal for Design at the Batimat trade exhibition in Paris, and the Silver Medal for design in Stuttgart.

Wood Fire

• This model has four curved glass panels of which two are fixed and two slide open, serving as a fireguard
• The hearth bowl can be positioned at three different heights:
  • built into the floor
  • placed above the floor
  • attached to a steel or constructed base

Heating by burning wood is, along with solar heating, among the least polluting for the planet. Wood is a renewable energy source because it can be replenished relatively rapidly, especially in contrast to fossil fuels. All the wood-burning models have undergone extensive testing in European testing laboratories to provide real performance indicators (nominal heat output, efficiency, level of CO, etc.) for each model.

Gas Fire

• One-quarter of the diameter of the hearth is open, and the other three-quarters are closed by three fixed glass panels.
• These models are supplied with a raised base (height: 255 mm) that houses the electronic mechanism for the burner as well as the gas supply system.
• Operated by remote control (lighting, programming, adjustment, etc.)
• Batteries allow continued operation in case of a power cut
• Combustible: natural gas or propane
• Decorative logs or ceramic pebbles
• Guaranteed efficiency with a minimum distance of 5 m between the burner and the terminal (at the extremity of the flue outlet)

Focus gas fireplaces (all CE-certified) display their nominal heat input. Closed gas fires are particularly efficient for heating and have no constraints involving loading wood, removing ash, spark protection, and so on. Equipped with remote control, they are easily adjustable and easy to use. In the case of a power outage, they continue to operate and provide heat independently of an electric power source.
