Question 1

What types of fireplaces do you sell?

Accepted Answer

Question 2

How much does a fireplace cost in South Africa?

Accepted Answer

Freestanding wood fireplaces start from around R11,000, closed combustion inserts from R16,500 including flue kit, and premium gas or pellet units range from R25,000 to R60,000+ depending on kW output and finish.

Question 3

Do you install fireplaces in Cape Town?

Accepted Answer

Yes. We install fireplaces across Cape Town, Bellville, Durbanville, Stellenbosch, Paarl, Somerset West, the Cape Winelands, West Coast, Breede Valley and Langeberg — with a 5-year warranty (excluding lighting).

Question 4

What is a closed combustion fireplace?

Accepted Answer

A closed combustion fireplace burns wood inside a sealed steel or cast-iron chamber with a glass door. Airflow is controlled, giving 4–6× more heat per log than an open fireplace and dramatically less smoke — ideal for South African winters.

Question 5

How do I install a fireplace insert?

Accepted Answer

A fireplace insert slots into an existing masonry opening and is connected to a stainless-steel flue routed through the roof. Installation should be done by a certified installer to meet SANS 10400 fire regulations — Progress Group handles supply and installation as one package.
