Features

✨ Contemporary Design for Integrated Spaces

The Flex 50SS.BXR combines clean architectural lines with the natural beauty of a real flame. Its single sided design allows the fire to be viewed from the front, making it ideal for dining rooms, living spaces, covered outdoor areas and hospitality settings.

The black mild steel surround features a zinc sealed, high temperature powder coated finish, while the Grade 304 stainless steel ethanol burner provides a durable and refined centrepiece.

🔥 XL500 Bioethanol Burner

The Flex 50SS.BXR uses the XL500 bioethanol burner, offering a generous 5 litre fuel capacity and an impressive burn time of approximately 10 to 13 hours.

Powered by e NRG bioethanol fuel, the fireplace creates a clean burning flame without wood, ash or soot. The XL Baffles help regulate and stabilise the flame while supporting efficient fuel use.

With a thermal output of up to 12 MJ/h, 11,430 BTU/h or approximately 3.4 kW, the XL500 configuration can heat an average area of up to 40 m², subject to installation conditions and fuel composition.

🏡 Indoor or Outdoor Installation

The Flex 50SS.BXR is designed for indoor or outdoor applications, giving you flexibility when creating a fireplace feature.

Use it as a dramatic centrepiece in a living or dining room, integrate it into a feature wall, or incorporate it into an outdoor living area where you want to create a warm and inviting atmosphere.

For outdoor applications, the installation environment should provide appropriate protection and comply with all applicable installation and safety requirements.

🧱 True Zero Clearance Design

The self contained true zero clearance construction provides greater flexibility when planning an integrated fireplace installation.

With no chimney, flue or utility connection required, the Flex 50SS.BXR can be incorporated into suitable cabinetry, feature walls and fireplace settings when installed according to the manufacturer's requirements.

Always verify the physical model dimensions against the required cut out dimensions before installation begins to ensure the correct tolerances are maintained.

🌟 Efficient Heat Without a Chimney

The Flex fireplace uses a closed combustion system designed to retain heat within the room rather than losing warmth through traditional ventilation systems.

This makes bioethanol an attractive option for creating a fireplace feature without the structural requirements associated with many conventional fireplaces.
