The width of a linear fireplace decides how it sits on the wall. Too narrow and it looks lost; too wide and it crowds the wall and the furniture around it.
Start from the wall
A common rule of thumb is a fireplace covering about 60 to 75 percent of the wall it sits on. On a 2.6 m (102 in) wall that is roughly 1.55 to 1.95 m (61 to 77 in). Under a TV, a fireplace about as wide as the screen, or slightly wider, usually looks balanced; a much narrower one makes the wall look unfinished.
The K Series widths
- K1010: 1010 mm front (39.8 in)
- K1250: 1250 mm (49.2 in)
- K1535: 1535 mm (60.4 in)
- K1880: 1880 mm (74 in)
- K2000: 2000 mm (78.7 in)
Every K Series model is 520 mm (20.5 in) high and 281 mm (11.1 in) deep, with a 379 mm (14.9 in) viewing height.
The opening is not the body size
The opening is a little larger than the body: for the K Series it is 530 mm high and 381 mm deep, and 1052 mm wide for the K1010 or 1597 mm wide for the K1535. Always build from the installation drawing of the chosen model.
Other lengths
The F Series LED fireplace is made to length, the L Series water vapor fireplace runs from 500 to 3000 mm, and the EVO ethanol burner comes in 100 mm steps from 600 to 2000 mm.
