Rocal has officially launched its striking Ronde woodburner range, first previewed at the Progetto Fuoco stove exhibition in Verona in February 2020. Both models bring Rocal’s signature contemporary styling and advanced combustion technology to new, compact designs. They will be available worldwide, including the UK, with some region-specific modifications planned to ensure compliance with local regulations and performance standards—details of which we’ll cover further down.
Rocal is a Spanish stove manufacturer with almost 40 years of experience in designing and producing premium wood-burning appliances. Known for their precision engineering, distinctive modern aesthetics, and commitment to high-efficiency, low-emission heating, Manufacturas Rocal has built a reputation for creating statement pieces that perform as well as they look.
Their woodburners and fireplaces often combine panoramic fire views with advanced combustion systems, making them popular with both architects and homeowners looking for functional centrepieces. The new Ronde models continue this tradition, distilling Rocal’s design language into a more compact, versatile format without compromising on performance or style.
The Ronde central is your stylish, fire‑centric star in full visual glory: the Rocal Ronde Central woodburner. It’s not just a stove—it’s a performance piece.
This beast is all about the flames—surround yourself with them. Its cylindrical glass design ensures you can admire the hearth from any angle in the room. No smoke, all the drama.
At just 65 cm (about 25.5″) in diameter, it’s the smallest central model Rocal’s ever made. Perfect for modern, well‑insulated homes that don’t need a bonfire to get cosy.

The Rocal Ronde Frontal is like the James Bond of stoves—elegant, efficient, and just the right kind of bold. Minimal wall footprint, maximum ambiance. If you want your fire on display and your heating to kick asphalt, this is your match.
This woodburner offers a sweeping 180° fire view through its curved panoramic glass.
Unlike its central or hanging siblings, this one parks itself neatly against the wall—thanks to an included rear wall bracket. There is also an optional pedestal foot, should you need a freestanding option.
Features include double combustion for efficiency, sealed combustion, an advanced airwash system to keep the glass clear, and even external air options to boost performance. Clean-looking flame, inside and out.
Bringing a European stove to the UK isn’t always as simple as shipping it over, (especially with BREXIT looming). Therefore our team at RRToscani Ltd who are the Agents for Rocal Stoves in the UK, have carefully and thoughtfully worked with the design and technical teams at Rocal to create UK friendly installation options, allowing the Ronde woodburner range to be safely installed in British homes.
Most of the work went into designing a new suspending ceiling crest that would allow the Ronde Central to hand from the ceiling when connected to an insulated twinwall flue system, while still adhering to minimum distances to combustibles and the ventilation requirements that are applicable here in the UK.
These changes ensure that the Ronde range can be fitted in UK homes without compromise.
With the Ronde Central and Ronde Frontal, Rocal has taken their hallmark craftsmanship and contemporary design into two striking yet practical formats that will suit a wide range of homes. Whether you’re drawn to the full 360° presence of the Central or the space-saving elegance of the Frontal, both models offer the performance, efficiency, and visual appeal Rocal is known for.
You can explore the Rocal Ronde Central and Rocal Ronde Frontal in more detail to see which best fits your space and style.
