‘Brighton 6’ x Sculpt Fireplace Collection

Making the most of the Australian summer, Brighton 6 Project by Pleysier Perkins and InForm Design sits on a corner site and is brought to life by subtle injections of greenery.

In the creation of this stunning home, it was obvious to project architect Ross Berger that the clients had an affinity for mid-century modern pavilions. To maintain their desired outcome the design boasts light-filled spaces that engage the landscape in such a way as to intertwine the built environment with the natural one, that ultimately reflects the client’s lifestyle.

The home revolves around the living zones that were designed to meet family needs and ensure that the interior spaces can afford multiple uses.  The creation of the breakfast bar and custom sunken lounge boasts a timeless material palette; making it the perfect place to showcase the Sculpt Fireplace Collection, Axis I1000FS fireplace. Axis fireplaces specialise in the manufacturing of designer wood fireplaces in a variety of different styles, shapes and sizes.

Handmade in the Rhone Alps region of France, the Axis I1000FS Single Sided wood fireplace is a display of geometric versatility and artisan engineered construction. The wood fireplace exudes a mesmerising display of flames and unsurpassed design excellence. With a heating capacity of up to 300m2 and an average efficiency of 66%, this unit is sure to stun in any space.

Fitted with DAFS (Double Air Flow System), this technology works by injecting oxygen at a determined level inside of the combustion chamber. The supply of new oxygen will burn the gases and smoke that has not yet been burnt and prevent them from being released into the flu system. The additional self-washing glass system feature, provides less CO2 emissions, creating longer fire term/burn time, cleaner glass and bricks and total combustion of the firewood.

The neutral tones and various textures reinforce the client’s appreciation for adventure and nature. Brighton 6 embodies a lightness that evokes a sense of joy in every space. A stunning project that Sculpt Fireplace Collection were proud to be part of.

Sculpt Fireplace Collection products provide high quality and high efficiency products, learn about DAFS Combustion Optimisation system here!

The science of the Flame – It seems like an elementary thing to us as we’ve been burning wood since burning wood was invented, however the process of combustion is actually a series of complex chemical reactions between a fuel source and oxygen. What occurs in this exothermic reaction is more than just energy (heat) production, what forms is a double oxygen bond (02) which basically means energy is a result of the molecule being strengthened in the reaction – this is combustion in a shortened, simplified version. In a wood fire the energy produced and the resulting flames and heat make it possible for this process to become self-sustaining form of combustion or the cosy (Sculpt) fireplace you enjoy. Sculpt.

The wood combustion process and all it’s stages; complete, incomplete, smouldering, rapid, spontaneous, turbulent, micro-gravity and micro-combustion can be calculated which means we have highly educated professionals who’s main objective it is to discover how to maximise your wood heater and minimise pollution. They know how to create the largest energy production with the least amount of energy lost, how to minimise fuel use and by-product emissions and thus optimise the process of combustion. So without getting any further into the science of flames, and using impressive sounding words like stoichiometric, chemical equilibrium and catalytic converter – which would guarantee you, dear reader, a deep sleep, lets tell you how Sculpt’s products achieve patented optimised combustion.

Most Axis and Seguin models are equipped with DAFS technology – a patented method of combustion management that controls reaction mechanisms, air flow, temperature and instabilities in both the primary and secondary phases of combustion. In long form DAFS stands for Double Air Flow System, it’s an optimised burn system that improves performance right from the initial ignition stage. All this ensures Sculpt’s products have more effective burn systems, maximise airflow and heat production, utilise optimal oxygen and fuel ratios, have superior heat output, are eco-friendly, and result in cleaner units, glass and flue systems, and have a longer burn times than open fireplaces. Sculpt Fireplace Collection’s Seguin range and it’s exclusive patented DAFS technology ensures your purchase not only looks fantastic but works fantastically, looking great for longer and warming your home more effectively and reducing pollutants in your home and the environment.
