Beauty Fires launches the Forge Fires Collection nationally: An Affordable New Locally Made Fireplace Range
A new collection of locally manufactured, closed combustion fireplaces that combine solid build quality, performance and clean design – at a price that makes sense.
21/05/2025
For years, South Africa’s fireplace market has been dominated by high-end European brands and lower-cost Chinese imports. While European products are known for their refined performance, rising costs have made them less attainable. On the other hand, many of the more affordable imported units from the Far East fall short in output, pollution control and durability. They are often made with thinner steel and their basic designs are suited to smaller, freestanding models.
Forge Fires addresses this situation. Manufactured in South Africa from premium-grade steel, the closed combustion range includes both insert and freestanding fireplaces.
The designs
apply well-established airflow technology,
resulting in units that burn cleanly, heat
efficiently, and are built to last.
“We
didn’t just want to make another fireplace,”
says Johnny Theart, Production Supervisor. “The
Forge units are built tough and designed to
impress. Every detail matters because they need
to perform every winter for years to come.”
A highlight of the range is the I120/F120 –
currently the largest hinged-door wood
burning closed combustion fireplace available in
South Africa. At 1200mm wide, it offers
generous heating capacity without sacrificing
style. Additionally, the Forge Fires
inserts have been specifically designed to
replace standard open wood-burning units without
needing to break or rebuild the cavity, making
them a practical solution for renovations and
upgrades.
The Forge Fires range
combines practical design and quality
manufacturing and is ideal for contractors,
architects, designers, and homeowners alike.
Available at all Beauty Fires stores, Forge
Fires is made in Cape Town and designed with
South African homes in mind. Visit
