Sliding Door System
To make it easy to make the fire or to add more wood, the glass door of the Ultime D can be slid upwards. This is simple and easy thanks to the balanced door system and the handle supplied. The smart frameless finish to this door system ensures a handsome aesthetic finish that fits seamlessly into sleek interiors.
Easy-Clean Door System
Two, three and four-sided Ultime D models are equipped with a retractable door system so that it is easily accessed for cleaning.
The glass can also by fully raised for easy lighting or loading of wood.
Front and double-sided (T) models have a door system that allows the user to tilt the glass forward so that it is easily accessible for cleaning. The glass can also be completely lifted up for easy lighting or loading of wood.
Spark Screen
As an option, the Ultime D can be fitted with a spark guard. Via the folded edge, the spark guard can be easily moved up and down by hand. The purpose of the spark guard is to prevent embers and glowing particles from landing on the floor. Makes sure small children and animals are kept away from the glass or fire. Available in Black, Maple gold or Terracotta.
This accessory makes it possible to operate your fireplace as an open appliance, offering a gentler heat output compared to closed combustion.
The firescreen can be used with the glass door open or closed, giving you more ways to enjoy the atmosphere of real flames.
360° Flame Enjoyment, Safely Secured
Enjoy the full beauty of the fire from every angle, without compromising safety. Designed for four-sided viewing, the Ultime D 4S lets you take in the flames from all directions, making it the perfect centerpiece for any space.
Add an extra layer of protection with the optional spark screen. Designed with a folded edge for easy manual adjustment, it moves smoothly up or down by hand. It keeps embers and sparks where they belong and helps prevent accidents involving curious kids or pets near the glass.
Available in three finishes to suit your style: 'Black', 'Maple Gold', or 'Terracotta'.
FORM MEET FUNCTION SAFETY MEETS STYLE
DualMotion+
Full control, maximum freedom.
The Ultime D closed wood fireplace can be equipped with the DualMotion+ system, an electric lift mechanism in which the glass lift door and the spark screen are operated separately. This allows the spark screen to be used independently, regardless of the position of the lift door. When using the fireplace with the door open, the spark screen prevents sparks or embers from entering the room, providing extra safety and peace of mind. The system guarantees quiet operation, increased safety and optimal ease of use.
The DualMotion+ system is available as an option within the Ultime D collection. Depending on the desired configuration, it is possible to choose an electric lift door, a spark screen, or a combination of both.
Combustion Air Supply
The fresh air supply can be adjusted using the supplied handle. Maximum air supply for combustion is achieved when the slidable handle is moved completely to the right.
It is best to slide the lever completely to the right when lighting the fire. Once the kindling wood is nicely ignited after 10 to 15 minutes, the air regulator can be put back in the middle position.
If the handle is in the middle position, the fireplace burns at nominal heat output. In this position, the combustion and efficiency are best when the chimney is drawing at minimum 12 Pascal.
Moving the handle further to the left reduces the air supply and this decreases the output of the fireplace. When you slide the handle further to the left from the middle position, this reduces the air supply in the fireplace. Once the air supply is in the fully left position, the fire in the fireplace will be extinguished.
Enhanced Heating Options
The possibility of choosing between a ceramic heating bottom and a 20mm steel bottom with a grate and ash pan is available for specific types of fireplaces, namely the 2-sided, 3-sided, 4-sided and double-sided Ultime D fireplaces. These fireplaces offer the flexibility to select the type of heating bottom that best suits your needs.
The 20mm steel bottom, complete with a cast iron grate and ash pan, offers a distinct set of advantages. The minimalistic steel construction provides durability and strength, ensuring it can withstand high temperatures and the rigors of daily use like the ceramic bottom. The grate and ash pan are thoughtfully designed to facilitate convenient ash removal. This option is ideal for those who favor a more minimalistic fireplace setup combined with effortless maintenance and cleaning.
The 20 mm steel bottom, paired with a cast iron grate and ash pan, brings practical advantages. Its solid steel build resists high heat and heavy use. The cast iron grate is equipped with a dedicated handle, allowing it to be tilted up for easy ash removal into the pan. This makes cleaning quick and controlled.
In contrast, the ceramic bottom has no movable grate. For this setup, ash should be cleared with a shovel or, more efficiently, with an ash vacuum cleaner. This method preserves the ceramic surface while keeping maintenance straightforward.
The ceramic material used as the heating bottom is renowned for its exceptional thermal properties. This option is perfect for heat retention and a consistent, extended heating experience. Moreover, the ceramic is an organic material, emphasizing its natural appeal.
Custom Convection Slots for Enhanced Fireplace Efficiency
Upgrade your fireplace with a convection slot—designed to improve heat distribution and energy efficiency by circulating warm air evenly throughout your space. This innovative feature enhances comfort, reduces heating costs, and ensures a safer, more effective fireplace experience.
Our convection slots are available in three stunning colors Black, Terracotta or Maple Gold and can be customized to your exact measurements, ensuring a perfect fit for any fireplace design. Whether for new installations or retrofits, this solution combines functionality with style.
Positioning the Appliance
The fireplace is equipped with 4 adjustable support feet.
The height of the support feet can be adjusted both inside and outside the fireplace.
If the highest position of the support feet is not sufficient, a supporting structure must be built on which the fireplace can be placed. This must be sufficiently solid and stable to support the weight of the stove.
Responsible Wood Burning
Wood heating can only be economical, healthy and ecological if it is used in the right conditions! Choice of equipment, choice of wood, feeding the stove, maintenance... With these conditions you can reduce the emission of fine particles and other air pollutants, but also increase the efficiency of your combustion. The objective is this: Increasing combustion efficiency Reducing emissions of fine particles and other air pollutants Improve end-user comfort. To this end, a video is available today that explains all this step by step.
Fuel: Wood
To obtain optimal combustion, the moisture content of the wood should be no more than 15% If this is not the case, the glass will quickly become soiled and appliance will be less efficient. To achieve this moisture content, the wood must be dried for two to three years in a dry well-ventilated place. The most suitable wood types are beech, oak and birch.
Each of our fireplaces has an optimal wood load: for the Ultime D 600 and 800 models this is a maximum of four 25 cm logs with a total weight of 3.2kg. For the Ultime D 1050 and 1300 models the ideal load is a maximum of three 30 cm logs with a total weight of 3.5kg. The use of resinous wood types, chipboard, laminate, treated wood or accelerants is strongly discouraged, as it produces sparks and a short burning time. It also harms your fireplace and the environment.

Interior Finishing
Original | Triangle | Round
Within Metalfire’s range of interior finishes, the cast iron slats Original, Triangle, and Round stand out for their refined aesthetics. Each version reflects a unique interpretation of minimalist design. Original features vertical ribs in a clean, classic rhythm. Triangle, with its angular profile, adds a graphic dimension to the flame effect. Round, designed in collaboration with Belgian architect Benoit Viaene, contrasts with soft, rounded forms that create a harmonious interplay with the flames.
What unites these options is their rhythmic linear design, each offering architectural added value — even when the fireplace is not in use. These cast iron interiors serve as true design elements within any interior concept.
All finishes are available within the Ultime D range and can be perfectly matched to the overall fireplace concept.
Interior Finishing Colours
Black or Terracotta
Though the Standard 'Black' lacquer already offers the most beautiful timeless base for any fireplace, Metalfire add a new color to their cast iron finishes for closed wood-fires.
As the name predicts, 'Terracotta' is a vivid orange-red lacquer, reminiscent of typical Mediterranean sceneries. A constant reminder of the sunniest of settings and a welcome pop of color during darker days. Whenever, wherever, 'Terracotta' oozes pure warmth and abundance.
Ceramic Concrete Look
Elevate your Fireplace Aesthetics
In our pursuit of offering you the most diverse and adaptable choices, we like to introduce a captivating variant of the Ultime D interior finishes. In addition to its exceptional cast iron design, the Ultime D is available in Ceramic material with a striking concrete look.
