British Fires: Discover Electric Fires, Fireplace Suites and Stoves
If you're looking for a contemporary electric fireplace that combines realistic flame visuals with stylish design, British Fires offers a collection of options to suit different homes and interiors.
Inspired by the landscapes of the New Forest, British Fires combines natural-looking fuel beds, patented technology and a choice of fireplace designs. The collection includes inset electric fires, wall-hung fireplace suites and freestanding electric stoves.
At Bathroom & Fireplace Warehouse Ltd in Chatham, Kent, we're pleased to introduce the British Fires range and help customers explore the options available.
The British Fires New Forest collection
The New Forest collection is at the heart of the British Fires range. Inspired by the natural woodland of the New Forest, these electric fires are designed to bring the appearance and atmosphere of a traditional fire into a contemporary living space.
The range includes several sizes, from the New Forest 650SQ through to larger models such as the New Forest 1200, 1600, 1900 and 2400.
Depending on the model, there are different installation configurations available, including one-sided, two-sided and three-sided designs. This gives you flexibility when considering how the fire will fit into your room or media wall.
Realistic fuel beds and flame presentation
One of the distinctive features of British Fires is its attention to fuel-bed detail.
The Deluxe Real Logs fuel bed is made using sustainably sourced British oak, including English oak and sessile oak. Each log is individually selected and arranged, with natural knots and bark textures helping to create an authentic appearance.
The logs are hand-scorched and charred to recreate the look of wood that has been exposed to fire.
There are different fuel-bed options depending on the product tier selected, allowing you to choose the appearance that best suits your fireplace.
Understanding the British Fires product tiers
There are three product tiers: Signature, Deluxe and Black Edition. Each offers a different combination of fuel-bed and glass features.
Signature
The Signature option provides three fuel-bed layouts:
Forest View
Slate View
Diamond Light
It includes Signature Logs, bark, husk, slate and diamond crystals, allowing you to create your preferred arrangement.
Deluxe
The Deluxe option includes the Deluxe Real Logs fuel bed and rear mirrored glass.
The mirrored glass creates the impression of greater depth, helping the flames appear to emerge through the logs.
Black Edition
The Black Edition is the top-tier option in the brochure. It combines the handcrafted Deluxe Real Logs with enhanced Rear Dark Glass.
This is designed to provide crisp flame visuals with minimal in-room reflections.
Anti-Reflective Glass
Anti-Reflective Glass is an additional upgrade available across the glass-encased range listed in the brochure.
Its special coating is designed to reduce reflections and make the fuel bed appear more natural, with clearer flame visuals and vibrant colours.

British Fires electric stoves

Hinton Cast Iron Electric Stove
The Hinton features a cast iron body and comes with Rear Dark Glass and Deluxe Real Logs. It is freestanding, with an Anti-Reflective Glass upgrade available. Its rear lighting can be set to orange, blue, purple or off.

These designs provide alternatives to an inset fire or wall-hung fireplace suite.
Choosing the right British Fires electric fireplace
With different styles, sizes and installation options available, it's worth considering a few things before choosing your fire.
Where will it go? Think about whether you're planning a media wall, an inset fireplace, a wall-hung suite or a freestanding stove.
What size do you need? Consider the proportions of your room and the space available for the appliance.
Which style do you prefer? A contemporary inset fire, a complete fireplace suite or a traditional-looking electric stove will create different effects.
Which fuel bed appeals to you? The Signature, Deluxe and Black Edition options offer different appearances.
What installation is required? Check the dimensions and installation requirements for the exact model before making a decision.
The brochure provides product dimensions and installation information, but the manufacturer's installation instructions should always be consulted before work begins.
