Ethos Ares Frame Built-In Low Emission Wood Burner

Overview

The Ethos Ares Frame Built-In Low Emission Wood Burner is a NZ-made inbuilt fire designed for a clean, elevated wall installation. It uses the same high-performance Ares firebox but pairs it with a revised Frame fascia that allows the fire to sit higher off the floor for a true minimalist, “floating” built-in look.

Perfect for new builds or renovations without an existing masonry fireplace, the Ares Frame can be installed into timber-framed cavities using a zero-clearance box. Despite its compact size, it delivers powerful heat and exceptionally low emissions, making it fully Clean Air compliant for regulated zones.
