Progress Lighting and Fires never fails to impress when it comes to innovative heating solutions. This time round they’ve joined up with Italian heating supplier MCZ to bring South African homeowners yet another intelligent device. The Vivio 80.

The Vivio 80 by MCZ, and distributed locally by Progress Lighting and Fires, is a closed fireplace that is fuelled by fire pellets. The burning of these pellets is safely ignited in the combustion chamber of the heating device. Stock up your Vivio 80 fireplace with ease using a fitted pellet tank that features a filling system. You can also choose where the filling system is situated – either at the front or on the side.

Progress Lighting and Fires also tends to live up to its name, always bringing the local market progressive heating solutions. The Vivio 80 by MCZ is fitted with intelligent technology. The Comfort Air fans built into the fireplace act as a heat diffuser allowing hot air to be circulated to several rooms. Also rather nifty is the tank located inside the diffuser. This contains water that vapourises when the hot air exits the system which acts as a humidifier. Fragrances and essences can also be added to the water for a pleasant aromatherapy effect.

Control your Progress Lighting and MCZ Vivio 80 fireplace with a user-friendly remote control that allows you to programme on/off times, set the desired temperature, and adjust power and ventilation. Lastly, control the way your heating unit looks through minor customisation. You can enhance your fireplace with a choice of 3 types of cladding ensuring that it firs with your interior décor.
