Metro Ambie Bench

Metro Ambie Bench Wood Fire – Bench Top Installation

Take your wood fire to a new level of refinement with the Metro Ambience Series. These innovative models can now be installed directly onto a non-combustible bench, without the need for a pedestal base.

This elevated design not only enhances the viewing experience of the fire, but also makes refuelling and cleaning the firebox easier than ever. The bench installation creates a sleek, modern fireplace look, while also providing a practical space for storing firewood neatly beneath the fire.

Metro Ambie Bench Options

Metro offer two purpose-built Ambie Benches, designed specifically for the Ambience Series. These benches are lightweight, ready-made, and feature pre-cut fixing points for quick, hassle-free installation. The bench-top style creates a contemporary, furniture-like finish that blends perfectly into modern New Zealand homes.

Tested & Approved to NZ Standards

• Ambience models tested and approved to AS/NZS 2918 with a 2.4m ceiling (+/-0.1m) when fitted with a Pioneer double flue shield.

• Bench installations require a minimum 2.7m ceiling height.

• A 10mm rear clearance to a combustible wall is required, or the bench can be positioned against a standard skirting board.

• Bench installations adjust tested clearances (A) and (H) and alter wetback connection heights.

• All other tested clearances remain unchanged, including minimum floor protector requirements.

Flexible Installation Options

• Bench-top installation may be possible with 2.4m ceilings, though it limits the maximum bench height beneath the fire.

• Height can be increased using a larger ceiling plate/shield or installing into homes with higher ceilings to meet required clearances.

• AS/NZS 2918 allows for clearance reductions (see Section 3, Tables 3.1 & 3.2).
