Features

✨ Expansive Single Sided Design

The Flex 78SS.BX2 is specifically designed for a single room application with one open side, allowing the flame to be enjoyed from the front. Its wide 1,986 mm viewing area gives the fire a strong visual presence, making it an impressive focal point for entertaining spaces and contemporary interiors.

🔥 Powerful XL700 Bioethanol Burner

The Flex 78SS.BX2 is compatible with the XL700 bioethanol burner, providing a 7 litre fuel capacity and a burn time of approximately 9 to 12 hours.

The clean burning e NRG bioethanol fuel produces a lively flame without the need for wood, gas connections or a traditional chimney. The XL700 burner can heat an average area of up to 50 m², making it suitable for creating a comfortable atmosphere in larger living and entertaining spaces.

XL Baffles are included to help regulate and stabilise the flame while supporting fuel efficiency.

🏡 Indoor or Outdoor Application

Designed for versatility, the Flex 78SS.BX2 can be installed indoors or outdoors when the appropriate installation requirements are met. It can become a dramatic centrepiece in a residential dining room, an indoor living area, an outdoor entertaining space or a commercial environment.

The bioethanol fuel system means there is no need for a gas connection or traditional chimney, giving designers and homeowners greater flexibility when planning a fireplace feature.

🧱 True Zero Clearance Construction

The Flex 78SS.BX2 features self contained true zero clearance construction, providing greater freedom when integrating the fireplace into feature walls, cabinetry and custom architectural settings.

Its mild steel surround is zinc sealed and finished with a high temperature powder coating, while the toughened glass and Grade 304 stainless steel burner provide a durable foundation for a contemporary fireplace installation.

Always verify the physical fireplace dimensions against the required cut out dimensions before installation begins to ensure suitable tolerances.

🌟 Efficient Heat Without a Traditional Chimney

The closed combustion design helps keep heat within the room rather than losing warmth through a conventional chimney or venting system. This makes the Flex 78SS.BX2 an efficient way to introduce both warmth and atmosphere without the infrastructure associated with many traditional fireplaces.

The XL700 burner provides:

• 7 litre fuel capacity
• 9 to 12 hour burn time

Performance figures are indicative only and may vary depending on the model, installation environment and composition of the e NRG bioethanol used.
