Electric fire suite with white mantel and hearth

A fireplace where there was none

A fire suite gives a room with a flat wall the look of a traditional fireplace. The set includes the mantel and legs, a back panel, a hearth and an inset electric fire. It stands on the floor against the wall and the fire plugs into a socket, so there is no building work.

The mantel shelf is useful for a mirror, pictures or candles. If you plan to put a TV above it, check the mantel height and the fire's heat outlet, and follow the manual's advice on what can sit on or above the shelf.

Provisional product data: this is the type of fire we are preparing to sell. We confirm the exact dimensions, weight and heat output with the final supplier model before it can be ordered.

Before you order

Measure the wall width, the floor depth you can spare and the route into the room. Check that the floor is level and that a socket is within reach of the fire's lead on one side. Keep curtains and furniture clear of the heat outlet; Electrical Safety First suggests at least one metre between heaters and combustible materials.
