FP8 Saguenay - High efficiency wood burning fireplace

Efficiency :

The Saguenay fireplace is a superb heater. The natural flow heat ducts attach to the top of the fireplace and move the heat from the room where the fireplace resides to another totally different room in the house. Or consider tying the fireplace into your furnace's ducting system and move the heat through the whole house. The door easily and smoothly folds back into the side of the fireplace. The Saguenay is a complete ''chill out while you stay warm'' fireplace. The Saguenay has tons of features that make it the perfect choice. On the aesthetic side, and always the Valcourt way, it features design versatility with three very different faceplates so you can choose which style would best suit your home. There is a very traditional looking cast iron faceplate, a far more contemporary cast iron faceplate and last but not least, a super modern steel faceplate. Three different styles and a fireplace that is... a superb heater.
