The largest model in our high-efficiency series, the Waterloo wood-burning fireplace delivers both exceptional performance and refined style. Featuring a crown-style faceplate, it offers a striking view of the flames through its expansive glass doors. Behind them lies a spacious firebox designed to hold an impressive amount of wood, capable of heating large areas and burning for up to 11 hours on a single load.
At the heart of its innovation is the patented smart air control system, engineered to optimize combustion efficiency. Once the unit is ignited and operating, the burn rate is reduced by manually closing the primary air damper. When the system detects that the ideal combustion temperature has been reached, it automatically closes the second primary air damper and adjusts the secondary air supply. After this process, the user can fine-tune the burn intensity using the auxiliary air control, ensuring efficient, customizable heating.
New Feature – NightFlame Ceramic Glass
The ROBAX® NightFlame ceramic glass panels maintain their elegance in every setting, transforming their appearance when the fire goes out. This cutting-edge technology conceals the fireplace’s interior when not in use, while offering a crystal-clear view of the flames when burning.

(1) Values are as measured per test method, except for the recommended heating area, firebox volume, maximum burn time and maximum heat output.
() Recommended heating area and maximum burn time may vary subject to location in home, chimney draft,heat loss factors, climate, fuel type and other variables. The recommended heated area for a given appliance is defined by the manufacturer as its capacity to maintain a minimum acceptable temperature in the designated area in case of a power failure.
(2) The maximum heat output (dry cordwood) is based on a loading density varying between 15 lb/ft³ and 20 lb/ft³ and reloading intervals ranging from 60 to 120 minutes. Other performances are based on a fuel load prescribed by the standard without any reloading between start and finish. The specified loading density varies between 7 lb/ft³ and 12 lb/ft³. The moisture content is between 19% and 25%.
(3) As measured per CSA B415.1-10 stack loss method.
(4) Higher Heating Value of the fuel.
(5) Lower Heating Value of the fuel.
(6) Performances based on a fuel load prescribed by the standard at 7 lb/ft³ and with a moisture content between 19% and 25%.
(7) Optimum overall efficiency at a specific burn rate (LHV).
(8) The optimum heat transfer efficiency is for the low burn rate (using HHV) and represents the appliance’s ability to convert the energy contained in the wood logs into energy transferred to the room in the form of heat and does not take into account the chemical losses during combustion.
(9) This appliance is officially tested and certified by an independent agency.
(10) Carbon monoxyde.
