With Eskom’s electricity costs climbing and power cuts seemingly woven into daily life, many South African homeowners are seeking more reliable heating options for winter. Enter the Lacunza Verona, a double-sided glass-door wood-burning stove.
The Verona is more than just a heating device; it is an architectural feature that shapes our experience of home. Engineered in Spain, its sleek lines and large glass panels fulfil several roles: They establish a striking focal point, offer practical room separation in modern open-plan homes, and let you admire the flames from various rooms at once – ideal for hosting in one area while the kids enjoy TV or read in the adjoining one.
But that’s not all when it comes to Verona’s versatility. You can place this closed-combustion fireplace on any non-combustible surface, such as a concrete plinth, or choose from a log box, bench, or pedestal. Lacunza manufactures all three options with the same sophisticated powder-coated matte finish as the fireplace, allowing you to customise the look to your space while maintaining visual coherence.
Available in 800mm and 1000mm sizes, with heat output ranging from 11 to 22 kW/h, the Verona works adeptly in all of South Africa’s diverse climates, from crisp highveld nights to misty coastal mornings. The vermiculite panels and specialised glass treatment keep cleaning straightforward, while the generous (optional) firebox accommodates logs up to 85cm long, reducing the frequency of refills.
For the environmentally conscious homeowner, the Verona exceeds EcoDesign 2022 standards – a critical certification even for South African consumers. Why should we care? Because when load shedding hits and the entire neighbourhood fires up whatever will burn, you’ll be the eco-warrior with the clean-burning beacon of sophistication, not the oke creating a smoke signal visible from Cape Point. The double combustion system also means you’ll use less wood, and your suburban complex’s WhatsApp group won’t blow up with passive-aggressive messages about “the apocalyptic smoke cloud emanating from Number 14.” Win-win, hey?
To top it all off, Lacunza’s confidence in their product shows in their 10-year manufacturer’s warranty. In short, Verona fireplaces are a premium investment that promises exceptional long-term value.
