Product Details
Why choose between the soul of a fire and the efficiency of a heat pump? Velare™ is a game changing innovation that seamlessly unites the visual elegance of a premium fire with high-capacity climate control.
Velare™ is proudly designed and assembled in New Zealand, specifically for our unique architectural standards and climate — ensuring it performs as beautifully as it looks in any Kiwi setting.
Velare™ uses specialised anti-reflective glass, allowing you to fully appreciate the lifelike glow, flicker and depth of the flames from any angle in the room, completely free from the distraction of glare or reflections.
Create the perfect mood for any occasion with three independently controlled lighting zones: Flame, Ember Bed and Downlights. Choose from up to 11 designer colour themes and three intensity settings to create a bespoke atmosphere.
Comfort should be felt, not just seen. Precision-engineered adjustable louvres allow you to direct airflow with purpose — refreshingly cooling upwards in summer, or enveloping the room in warmth during winter.
Velare™ delivers powerful heating and cooling, providing the thermal performance of a gas fire with the clean, future-proof efficiency of electric technology — a high-performance climate solution that presents as a work of art.
