Read on to learn more about each model.

Escea DF960
The Escea DF960 is the slightly more compact model of the two (870mm x 470mm), meaning that if you don’t have the greatest amount of space, this might be your best option. Its size is perfect for making any area look larger, as it doesn’t consume as much surface area and most wide modern fireplaces. The design is also the perfect accompaniment to any textured surface thanks to its Zero Rated clearance. This means the surrounding materials doesn’t have to be expensive fire-rated construction material. To make this fireplace absolutely perfect for your home, you have the option to customise its fascia from slim to stretch, in titanium silver, stainless steel and volcanic black. You’ve also got the choice of logs, coals and NZ river rock as your fuelbed, to get the exact look you want.
Escea DS1400
If wide and sleek is exactly the look you’re going for, then the Escea DS1400 is for you. If you’re not into the look of a fascia, then this is also your ideal fireplace as the frameless display really lets the flames shine. The minimalist look lets you add a touch of luxury and interior design to any space without the worry of having items clash. Despite being simplistic, the 1360mm x 141mm glass display is an eye-catching statement that is sure to attract the attention of your house guests. Another cool (or should say warm) feature of this model is that it can be installed one-sided or double-sided. If you’re looking to add appeal to a partition, what’s more interesting than a stylish fireplace?
Worried about little fingers around the hot glass? A mesh-wire feature is also available to add another layer of protection to the fireplace, and of course, yourself.
So, which should you choose? Ultimately, it depends on the size of your space, and the overall look of the space. The DF960 is perfect if you’re space is more compact and you’re looking for that extra touch of luxury with the fascia selection. The DS1400 is perfect for the minimalists out there, and if you want to use the double-sided feature for attention-grabbing design.
