Fireplaces Available at the Johannesburg Branch
Hydrofire’s range of fireplaces in Johannesburg includes a wide variety of styles and heating technologies. Each model is CE-certified and designed for reliable performance in South African climates.
Freestanding Fireplaces
Freestanding fireplaces are ideal for homeowners looking for flexibility and fast installation. They require no structural modification and can be positioned in a variety of layouts. With designs ranging from minimalist steel to rustic cast iron, these units offer exceptional heat output while doubling as a statement piece.
Built-In Fireplaces
For seamless architectural integration, our built-in fireplaces are designed to be recessed into a custom frame or wall. These units are perfect for modern interiors and open-plan homes, delivering efficient heating with a sleek, flush finish.
Double-Sided Fireplaces
Create ambiance in two adjoining spaces with a double-sided fireplace. These models are popular in open-plan layouts or where a fireplace acts as a room divider. They offer dual-facing views of the flame and provide even heat distribution across larger areas.
Side-Glass Fireplaces
Side-glass fireplaces add visual depth and enhance flame visibility from multiple angles. Their contemporary design makes them ideal for living rooms, dining areas, and feature walls.
Wall-Mounted Fireplaces
Looking to save on floor space? Wall-mounted fireplaces deliver efficient warmth while creating a modern, elevated look. Ideal for compact homes, apartments, or secondary heating zones.
Water-Based Fireplaces
While Hydrofire does offer water-based models designed to work with central heating systems, please note: These systems are only available via the Cape Town branch, and are not handled through our Johannesburg location.

Energy-Efficient Fireplaces for Johannesburg Winters
Johannesburg’s crisp, dry winters demand more than just a decorative fireplace. Our closed-combustion fireplaces are built to deliver efficiency and performance. With sealed designs and regulated airflow, these units burn wood more completely, producing more heat with less fuel.
You can expect thermal efficiency levels of up to 85%—far outperforming open fireplaces and gas heaters. This not only lowers heating costs but also reduces environmental impact.

Every Hydrofire fireplace available in Johannesburg comes with features designed for ease of use, safety, and long-term value:
- Closed combustion for improved heat retention
- Glass doors that maintain flame visibility while enhancing safety
- Air control systems to regulate heat output
- Ash drawers for convenient cleaning
Whether you’re outfitting a family home or a rental property, these units deliver both aesthetic and practical returns on your investment.
Fireplaces for Every Style of Home
Hydrofire’s fireplaces are as visually diverse as they are functional. You’ll find:
- Minimalist steel designs for contemporary homes
- Cast iron finishes for rustic and classic interiors

Johannesburg-Specific Advice for Choosing Your Fireplace
Climate Considerations
Johannesburg’s winter days are dry but cold, with chilly nights that demand reliable heating. Unlike coastal regions, moisture isn’t as big a concern—but consistent, efficient warmth is. Closed-combustion models are ideal here, offering high output with minimal fuel.
Home Design Trends
In Gauteng, many modern homes feature large windows, double-volume ceilings, and open-plan kitchens and lounges. Our freestanding and double-sided fireplaces are particularly well-suited to these layouts, adding style and performance without structural changes.
Ventilation & Flue Planning
Because of the city’s cooler highveld evenings, many homeowners opt for longer burning times. This makes flue planning essential. Our Johannesburg team will help you select the correct flue diameter, insulation type, and exit point, ensuring safe smoke extraction and heat retention.
