Technical Information
The Renaissance Rumford 1000 Guillotine Door With its hideaway door, the Renaissance is the ultimate clean face wood burning fireplace. The mechanical parts disappear leaving a gorgeous herringbone firebox and providing a clean canvas for the designer. | Perfectly counterweighted to prevent slamming The door is perfectly counterweighted and can stop at any point along its track without slamming up or down, despite its heavy weight. |
Elegant guillotine operation The door of the Renaissance Rumford actually lifts straight up and disappears within the facade above the fireplace. This method of removing the door is much more sophisticated than a typical fireplace allows for. | Premium ceramic glass Ceramic glass can withstand temperatures over three times higher than tempered glass. Ceramic glass has a light brown hue versus the blue or green hue of tempered glass and eliminates virtually any glare, regardless of the angle. |
Cuts remaining emissions by more than half When the door is closed emissions plummet from their already low level. The firebox temperatures increase once the door is closed which allows even more emissions to be burned off before they can exit the chimney. | Swings open for easy cleaning and service The Rumford door had to be easy to clean and service, even long after the product was installed and the facing finished. That’s why the door swings open on a hinge, which allows for easy cleaning. Also, its entire door mechanism can be serviced or even changed out completely without damaging any of the decorative facing. |
Built-in locking fire screen The built-in screen locks in place when raised, and lowering the screen is as simple as moving the locking clips and using both hands to bring it down. Its mesh is fine enough that it won’t take away from your view of the fire, but strong enough to stop a rolling log. | Industrial strength, yet smooth functioning The Rumford door was designed to be the smoothest operating and most durable guillotine fireplace door ever made. Making the mechanical components durable enough that they never need to be serviced requires expensive hardware, detailed engineering and precision laser fabrication. |
Why does the Renaissance burn so much more cleanly than a regular fireplace?
The key to lowering emissions is to achieve and maintain very high temperatures which allow volatile gasses and particulates to burn. This is exactly how EPA certified, wood burning stoves burn cleanly, but making it happen in an open fireplace is much more difficult. There’s no simple solution or mystery technology! We’ve incorporated a wide range of features into the Renaissance that, when combined, make it the cleanest burning open fireplace ever made.
The Ultimate Bonus is that cleaner fires are more beautiful fires. A Renaissance Rumford fire is so incredibly tall, bright and lively that you need to see it to appreciate it. The Rumford firebox provides a vertical fire-viewing experience, superior to much larger conventional fireplaces.
The Renaissance is the first open fireplace of its kind; applying modern physics to an ancient element to produce breathtaking fires and a greener planet.
Amazingly, because the fire is so much hotter than traditional fireplaces, the efficiency of the Renaissance Rumford is much higher than other open fireplaces. Burning with the door down makes the Renaissance a surprisingly efficient fireplace.
Based on independent certification testing:
Renaissance emissions with the door open are not higher than 3.4 grams/kilogram. Approximately 70% less than a typical fireplace with the door open.
Renaissance emissions with the door closed are not higher than 1.0 grams/kilogram. Approximately 90% less than a typical fireplace with the door closed.
With its hideaway door, the Renaissance is the ultimate clean-face, wood-burning fireplace. The mechanical parts disappear, leaving a gorgeous herringbone firebox and providing a clean canvas for the finishing designer.
