The British Fires New Forest Range
The New Forest collection is central to the British Fires range and includes electric fires in a variety of widths and formats. Models range from compact fires suitable for smaller fireplace features through to large panoramic fires designed for contemporary media walls.
Popular models include the New Forest 650SQ, 870, 1200, 1600, 1900 and 2400. Selected models can also be configured for one, two or three-sided viewing, allowing the fire to work within front-facing, corner and panoramic fireplace designs.

British Fires Fuel Beds & Flame Presentation
British Fires offers different fuel-bed specifications across the New Forest collection, allowing customers to alter the character and realism of the finished fire.
Options include the standard Signature specification, upgraded Deluxe Real Logs and the Black Edition, which combines an upgraded log arrangement with a darker internal appearance for greater contrast around the flames.
We have compared the different options in our dedicated British Fires Signature vs Deluxe vs Black Edition guide.
British Fires Electric Stoves
Alongside inset fires, British Fires produces electric stoves including models such as the Hinton, Bramshaw and Ashurst.
These provide the appearance and character of a traditional stove while using an electric flame effect and heater, meaning no conventional chimney or flue is required.

British Fires for Media Walls
The panoramic proportions of the New Forest range make British Fires a popular choice for contemporary media walls and false chimney breasts.
Choosing the correct model involves considering the overall wall width, television size, viewing configuration and proportions of the finished feature rather than fire width alone.
Bonfire can assist with complete media wall design and installation where required.
