The Solution Fires SLE55i Electric Fire is a wide-format inset electric fire designed to create the appearance of a larger fireplace while still fitting into a standard inset opening.
The fire uses Solution Fires’ eTronic flame effect technology together with mirrored glass to produce a realistic, contoured flame pattern. Its generous 22-inch fuel bed gives the SLE55i a broader visual presence than a conventional compact inset fire, helping it look more substantial within larger fireplace surrounds.
A key feature of the SLE55i is its canopy-less design. The slimline fan heater is concealed neatly at the top of the flame screen, so there is no projecting heater canopy interrupting the view. This gives the fire a cleaner appearance and allows the flame pattern to remain visible across the full width.
Customers can choose between a coal-effect or log-effect fuel bed, allowing the fire to be styled to suit either a more traditional fireplace or a cleaner contemporary setting.
The integrated heater provides 1kW or 2kW heat output and is thermostatically controlled. It is designed for quiet operation and includes a 7-day programmer, allowing heating periods to be scheduled around normal household use.
Both the flame and fuel-bed brightness can be adjusted, providing greater control over the appearance of the fire. A remote control is supplied as standard for convenient everyday operation.
The low-energy LED flame effect can also be used independently of the heater, allowing the fire to provide ambience without additional room heat.
A range of fascia designs is available, including Duplici, Fusion and Trinalis options, giving the SLE55i flexibility across different fireplace and interior styles.

Expert Insight
The SLE55i is particularly useful where a wider-looking electric fire is wanted without requiring a larger or non-standard fireplace opening. Its 22-inch fuel bed creates more visual width, while the concealed heater removes the traditional canopy and keeps the flame view cleaner.
Suitability
The Solution Fires SLE55i Electric Fire is particularly suited to traditional fireplace surrounds, replacement inset-fire installations and living rooms where a wider flame effect is preferred while retaining a standard inset opening.
