Phenix 120 NEO Wood-Burning Fireplace BODART & GONAY

ThePhenix NEO range fromBodart & Gonay has redefined the whole idea of a wood-burning fireplace, combining the spectacle of an open fire with the efficiency of a sealed, airtight system. ThePhenix 120 NEO is the ultimate expression of that philosophy, designed to be the focal point of any room.

Design and view of the fire:

With its generous width and expansive glazed surface, this insert is the most panoramic in the entire Phenix range. The metal structure is exceptionally discreet, letting the flames take centre stage. The purity of its lines and the simplicity of its styling allow it to blend beautifully into any decorative scheme, from the most classic to the most avant-garde.

Two fireplaces in one:

At the heart of the Phenix 120 NEO lies its sophisticated vertical retractable door system:

• Open mode (live fire): The door glides silently upwards on a chain-and-counterweight mechanism running on ball bearings, with Eriflon rollers that guarantee whisper-quiet operation and need no lubrication. In this position the firebox becomes a traditional open fire, perfect for creating atmosphere during gatherings and long evenings.
• Closed mode (maximum efficiency): Lower the door and the appliance turns into a high-performance airtight insert. Combustion is almost complete, which translates into high efficiency and noticeably lower wood consumption.

Efficiency and heat output:

• Rating plate (heat output): 12 to 18 kW.
• Useful efficiency: 77.3%.

Three adjustable baffles:

Just like the Phenix 105 NEO, this model comes with3 adjustable baffles (chicanes). This allows the firebox to be fine-tuned to the draught characteristics of your flue, guaranteeing optimum operation in any type of installation.

Technology designed around you:

• Intelligent regulation: A thermostat lets you control the intensity of the fire manually or automatically, with clear "+" and "-" markings. Should the appliance overheat, the system closes the air intake to protect it.
• Always clear: The pre-heated air glass-sweep system keeps the glass clean so you always enjoy a perfect view of the fire.
• Large heat exchanger: Its generous exchange surface (3.96 m²) delivers excellent heat transfer.
• External air intake: Fitted with a Ø125 mm external air intake, compatible with airtight, low-energy homes.

Guillotine door system:

• Opening: Vertical retractable (silent lift).
• Mechanism: Chains and counterweights on ball bearings.
• Rollers: Eriflon (silent running, extremely low friction coefficient, no lubrication required).
• Airtight closure: Special guiding system.
• Tilting opening: Makes cleaning the interior easy.

Technical specifications:

• Flue outlet: Ø250 mm.
• Hot-air outlets: 4 outlets of Ø150 mm.
• External air intake: Ø125 mm (from the rear or from the base of the appliance).
• Heat exchanger: 3.96 m² of surface area for optimum heat transfer.
• Baffles: 3 adjustable chicanes plus one fixed baffle for maximum heat recovery and adaptation to the draught of every flue.

Finish options:

• Skamolex interior (vermiculite): Included as standard. A light finish that reflects the light and brings extra brightness to the fire.
