Rocal Gala - The First Eco-Design Large Stove with 360° Glass
Unveiling the Rocal Gala:
A Closer Look:
The Rocal Gala boasts two sets of exquisitely finished satin black rings. The first set serves as a practical catch for any ash that may fall when opening the doors, while the second set, known as the base rings, adds to the fireplace’s aesthetic balance.
One of the standout features of the Gala is its openable glass panels, which also serve as doors. Each side of the stove features a primary door on the right and a service door on the left, both equipped with concealed handles. This innovative design enables you to add wood easily by opening just one door while keeping the others securely shut. The flexibility of this feature allows for creating a dramatic effect by opening both doors on one side or simply opening a single door for easy cleaning access.

Setting New Standards:
Beyond its striking visual appeal, the Rocal Gala sets new benchmarks in eco-design. It proudly meets and surpasses stringent regulations, making it the conscientious choice for those who prioritize sustainability. By leveraging advanced combustion technology, the Rocal Gala achieves high heating efficiency while significantly reducing emissions. This means you can relish the warmth and comfort it provides without compromising the environment.
Internally, the stove has been enhanced with a redesigned baffle system at the top, accompanied by a subtle modification in how the primary air is introduced into the firebox. It still features a large central grate capable of accommodating a 40cm log, along with a concealed ashpan beneath it, accessible through a discreet door located at the bottom of the stove.
Pioneering Perfection:
The Rocal Gala seamlessly combines efficiency with elegance. Its sleek and modern design, enhanced by the 360-degree glass, adds a touch of sophistication to any home decor. Crafted with meticulous attention to detail, this stove not only enhances the visual appeal of your space but also ensures maximum heat output. The innovative airflow system guarantees optimal combustion, resulting in superior performance and heating efficiency.
Speaking of air control, the Gala features independently controlled primary and secondary air levers located on its front side. These levers are the only visual indication of the front or back of the stove. As with all Rocal stoves, the primary air control lever has a small flame cut-out, making it easier to remember its function. The secondary lever controls the airwash, where air enters from the base of the stove, is pre-heated through two internal columns on either side, and then channelled down the glass to keep it clean while the fire is burning.
On the opposite side of the ashpan access door, positioned in the base pedestal, you will find the air supply inlet. This inlet allows for the supply of external air from outside, under the floor and up into the fire, ensuring that all combustion air is drawn directly from outside the room. If connecting the inlet to the outside is not feasible, it can be left open, pulling the necessary air from the room. In such cases, it is important to ensure an air supply to the fire through an airbrick or other means.
Efficiency Meets Elegance:
Above the firebox, the Rocal Gala showcases a stunning conical hood consisting of two parts that seamlessly come together on the sides. This deliberate seam serves a purpose: it allows convection air to vent back into the room, ensuring efficient circulation. The seam continues upward with the decorative flue pipe cover, enabling convection air inside the stove’s casing to vent into the room, enhancing both functionality and aesthetics.
As a standard feature, the Gala comes with a 1480mm length of decorative flue casing. This casing can be easily adjusted to fit your room’s height by cutting it down or extending it as needed. Additionally, for spaces with insulated twinwall pipes or pitched/sloping ceilings, Rocal offers the option to create bespoke ceiling crests. These customized additions ensure that the Gala wood-burning stove perfectly aligns with your specific requirements, creating a seamless integration that complements your unique space’s needs and aesthetics.
