<p>Dancing flames ‘at eye level’: modern fireplace inserts skilfully make the fire the focus</p><p>Melle. – Modern fireplaces are more than merely sources of heat; they are an embodiment of style and contemporary interior design. High quality fireplace inserts can be installed in a variety of ways, offering lots of scope for customised room planning, and they provide a focus in any setting. As a leading manufacturer of modern combustion technology, Spartherm offers the Varia 2 Lh, a model that not only displays the dancing flames on two adjacent sides but also, if desired, at eye level.</p><p>After all, who says a fireplace should always be sited low down, at floor level? The fireplace insert by Spartherm, with a sliding door and large L-shaped glass window, provides a view of the fire chamber from two sides - and it can be installed at any height. That makes the cheery, flickering wood fire the focal point, a fiery work of art – whether it is integrated into a room divider, built as a freestanding pillar or placed in the corner of the room as a bold design statement.</p><p>The large glass window, framed in plain black steel, along with lots of well thought- out details like the discreetly contrasting door handle, complete the overall picture and show off the visual impact of the fire to full effect.</p><p>Water-heating version provides heat to every room</p><p>The high-quality technology inside the unit ensures comfortable temperatures in the room where it is installed. Its high efficiency, a nominal heat output of approximately 12 kW and the low emission values result in efficient, environmentally friendly heating. And with the water-heating Varia 2 Lh H2O version, the heat from the fire can be used throughout the home. The fireplace insert uses built-in water heat exchangers to heat the domestic hot water and feeds it into the central heating system via a buffer tank. Among other things, this is an ideal solution for low-energy homes.</p><p>For more information visit www.spartherm.com.</p><p>Caption: Bold design ideas and a variety of technical options result in out-of-the- ordinary solutions Contact: Spartherm Feuerungstechnik GmbH Jörn Konert - Marketing - Maschweg 38 49324 Melle, Germany Tel.: +49 (0)5422-94 41-40 Fax: +49 (0)5422-94 41-44 E-mail: [email protected]</p>
