The Kratki NBC 8 is a modern, built-in 3-sided wood-burning fireplace designed to give you a wide view of the flames from different angles.

Its three-sided glass design makes the fire a strong visual feature in the room. The smooth rise-and-fall door adds to its clean, contemporary appearance.

The NBC 8 has a 10kW heat output, 80% efficiency and a heating capacity of approximately 140–225m³. Manufactured from steel in Poland. Designed for closed-combustion wood burning.

3-Sided Fireplace with a Wide Fire View

The defining feature of the Kratki NBC 8 is its 3-sided design.

Glass on three sides provides a broader view of the fire than a conventional front-facing built-in fireplace. This makes the NBC 8 particularly suitable for contemporary interiors where the fireplace can be seen from different areas of the room.

It works especially well as an architectural feature in open-plan living spaces or as a central focal point within a room.

The NBC 8 is a 3-sided fireplace with a rise-and-fall glass door and a generous view of the fire.

10kW Wood-Burning Fireplace

The NBC 8 provides a 10kW heat output and is designed to burn wood.

This Kratki 3-sided wood-burning fireplace has a heating capacity of approximately 140–225m³, making the fireplace suitable for heating larger residential living areas, depending on factors such as insulation, room layout and the building itself.

The fireplace has an 80% efficiency rating, helping it make effective use of the heat produced during combustion.

Rise-and-Fall Glass Door

The NBC 8 features a rise-and-fall glass door, giving the fireplace its distinctive modern appearance.

The door lifts smoothly when the fireplace is being loaded with wood. When closed, the large glass surfaces provide a clear view of the flames.

Kratki also uses an air-wash system to help reduce soot deposits on the glass during burning.

Heat-Intensifying Ceramic Lining

The combustion chamber is lined with Kratki’s heat-intensifying ceramic material.

These ceramic internals are designed to help retain heat within the combustion chamber. The NBC 8 also features a ceramic drop-in base that provides additional space for burning wood coals.

Closed-Combustion Wood Fireplace

The Kratki NBC 8 is a closed-combustion fireplace designed to burn wood efficiently.

Its combustion system uses primary, secondary and tertiary combustion. The fireplace also combines natural convection and radiant heat to distribute warmth into the room.

For best performance, always use properly seasoned firewood suitable for a closed-combustion wood fireplace.

Strong Steel Construction

The NBC 8 has a steel construction designed for high-temperature operation. Kratki’s built-in steel fireplaces use thick steel construction and heat-resistant glass for durability and performance.
