Not only traditional, but also modern construction eagerly utilizes fireplaces. The flames of fire warm the space and create an incredibly cozy, warm, and relaxing atmosphere in the room. Classic wood-burning fireplaces are increasingly being replaced by pellet (biomass) thermal fireplaces with a water jacket. They serve as an efficient, human-friendly, and environmentally friendly source of heat and also act as a stylish decorative addition. They allow for modern heating of interiors – efficiently, ecologically, and with class.

Thermal fireplace vs traditional fireplace
The heat generated during the combustion of fuel in a traditional fireplace escapes in large quantities through the chimney. In contrast, in a thermal fireplace, which is a fireplace with a water jacket around the combustion chamber, most of the generated heat is recovered and effectively utilized. The water jacket absorbs heat from combustion and directs it to the central heating system. As a result, fireplace heat can be used to heat all rooms in the house – with a usable area of up to about 250 m2 in the case of older buildings and up to even 600 m2 in the case of more modern buildings.
Depending on the area that needs heating, the demand for heat, and the specifics of the installation, a thermal fireplace can serve as the only source of heat in the building or support the main heating device. Modern thermal fireplaces work successfully with pellet boilers, gas, oil, or electric boilers, as well as heat pumps. This device can also support the system for preparing domestic hot water (D.H.W.), working with tanks of even several hundred liters. Moreover, by combining the thermal fireplace with advanced control automation, the user gains the ability to choose the heat source and change settings over a wide range.
By burning in a thermal fireplace, you heat the entire house or apartment, heat water, and at the same time increase the attractiveness of the interior and create an incredibly cozy atmosphere.
