The Rocal RCr 80 Inset Wood Burning Fireplace is a modern front-facing built-in wood burner designed for clean architectural integration, strong heating performance and flexible installation. As part of the Rocal RCr Frontal range, the RCr 80 can be adapted to both existing fireplace openings and new construction projects, making it a versatile choice for homes wanting the look of a minimalist inset fireplace with dependable wood burning performance.
Its discreet front-facing design allows it to sit neatly within the wall, making it especially well suited to contemporary interiors and fireplace settings where simplicity and clean lines are important. The RCr 80 offers a generous flame view without overwhelming the room, making it a strong middle-ground option for customers wanting more presence than a smaller inset model while still keeping a refined, understated appearance.
The appliance is built as a fully welded steel insert with a steel combustion chamber, vermiculite interior lining and a triple deflector system. It uses preheated primary and secondary air together with tertiary or safety air to support efficient, controlled combustion and cleaner burning performance. The stove also includes a non-sealed external air inlet, with an optional external air closure valve available if required.
A major practical advantage of the Rocal RCr 80 is its ability to direct and channel hot air to other parts of the home. The surrounding casing is designed to allow the distribution of warm air, and the unit features front/top air direction control so the installation can be adjusted to suit the project layout. A 4-turbine ventilation kit is available, offering two automatic speeds and one manual speed, helping improve heat circulation where more active distribution is needed.
Day-to-day use is made easier by front ash drawer extraction, while the reversible front door provides additional installation flexibility. Optional extras such as a 10 cm decorative frame, adapter for a standard four-sided frame, adjustable and levelable base, regulator, inlet/outlet diffusers, log holders, and the option to supply the appliance without ventilation kit on request make it easier to tailor the fireplace to the needs of different projects.
With an 82.3% efficiency, 9.6 kW nominal output, and a working range of 7.5 to 13.0 kW, the RCr 80 offers strong heating capability in a clean inset format, making it a practical and attractive option for modern fireplace installations. 7″ (180mm) flue diameter.
