British Fires New Forest 2400 Inset Electric Fire

An electric fire is flexible, but the wall and finish still need thought. It may sit in a fireplace opening, a media wall or a made-to-measure surround, depending on the product and the room.

Electric products do not need a chimney, flue or gas supply. They still need a sensible electrical route, usually planned around a standard socket position, and the cable route should be considered before decorating or building the wall out.

The listed size detail is W 2375mm x H 565mm x D 311mm; 300mm minimum recess, so use that as the starting point before the final check. Check the wall width, the viewing height and what else is going near the fire. If a television, shelves or cabinets are part of the same wall, those choices affect where the fire should sit.

The listed finish detail is Signature, Deluxe and Black Edition options. Samples and showroom checks are still useful, because colours change with room light and nearby materials. At the showroom we can compare the fire route with stone samples and other electric options, then decide whether a suite, media wall or made-to-measure surround is the cleaner answer for your room.
