Selection Resource

Choose the fireplace system from the site condition, not the image alone.

This matrix separates SEFIRE product families by operating principle, installation constraint and project fit. It is an early-selection tool; exact dimensions and options must be confirmed on the dedicated series page and approved documents.

Decision Sequence

Five questions before model selection.

  1. Real flame or visual effect? Ethanol burns fuel and produces heat; water vapor creates a decorative effect without combustion.
  2. What can the wall accommodate? Determine body depth, support, viewing sides, ventilation concept and service access before choosing length.
  3. Which services exist? Confirm voltage, water supply, drain, network or controls and filling route.
  4. Who operates it? Residential, hotel and public-space workflows lead to different control and maintenance priorities.
  5. What documentation is required? Identify local review, certification scope, drawings, manuals and inspection evidence before production.

Do not merge series data: RCFB Regular, RCFB Slim and SEV are separate product families. Primary, Deluxe and Round Outdoor are also separate water-vapor configurations.
