Freestanding Log Effect Electric Fires

Freestanding electric fires with log effect mimic the appeal of a traditional free standing bio ethanol fireplace but without the maintenance and risks of using real wood. The logs can be replaced by crystal, pebble or any other fuel bed to give a different look.

They can be moved from room to room as they don't require a chimney or ventilation system and they don't produce an ignition source, so they do not require clearance from combustible materials.

Adaptability

Electric fires are an excellent option for those looking to add a versatile beautiful fireplace to their home. They do not require a permanent installation. They can be hung on the wall, placed into holes in the wall or used as an independent unit. A lot of them can be controlled via remote control or programmed using a timer. This adaptability makes them the perfect option for those with a small space or who rent their property.
