Free-Standing Wood-burners

The JUCAs which sit out in the room can be found at JUCA MODELS - FREE-STANDING

Free-Standing 3-Glass-Sided Wood-burners

These JUCAs, which also sit out in the room can be found in JUCA MODELS - 3-GLASS-SIDED. These units are often used in the center of a conversation pit; in large rooms with cathedral ceilings; in dome homes; in restaurants and taverns. They can be backed near a wall and (apparently) connected to it to look like a peninsula fireplace room-divider.

Built-In Wood-burners

The JUCAs which are built into a wall and look exactly like a conventional fireplace are our F-series and may be found in JUCA MODELS - BUILT-INS. These include Double-Sided Fireplaces and Arch-Top Fireplaces. The only visible part is the standard-appearing Brass Door Set. JUCA offers over 2,000 different appearances for every possible mood you may want to create. If you need Chrome or Swedish Hammered Steel Doors for aesthetic reasons, they're here!

Fireplace Insert Wood-burners

The JUCAs which fit into an existing fireplace can be found in JUCA MODELS - FIREPLACE INSERTS

Gas-Burning Fireplaces

All of the above JUCA units are designed to be able to use EITHER wood OR gas. An advantage of this is being able to switch back and forth between the fuels. Another is that, even when using gas logs in a JUCA, the full benefit of heating the entire house with the fireplace is available. There are several links available:

Gas-Only Fireplaces

There are some (less efficient) less expensive products on the market which ONLY burn gas. Quite a wide variety of manufacturers and product appearances are available (and change every few months!) You can find initial presentation of these in GAS FIREPLACES It is likely that you may need to call us regarding specific needs and products. As always, JUCA can get you a good discount on virtually every product made.

Gas ODS Products

Since about December 1992, a new product type has become available. These Gas-burning fireplace units do NOT need any chimney! They include an Oxygen-Depletion- Sensor (ODS) which shuts it down before any danger in a tightly sealed room. Again, many varieties are becoming available. A preliminary discussion is in ODS GAS FIREPLACES Call us regarding specific products or installations.
