British Fires New Forest Electric Fires

The British Fires New Forest range is a collection of inset electric fires available in several widths to suit everything from compact fireplace features to large panoramic media walls.

The range includes the New Forest 650SQ, 870, 1200, 1600, 1900 and 2400. Choosing the right model is primarily about achieving the correct proportions for your room, fireplace or media wall rather than simply selecting the largest fire that will fit.

Which New Forest Size Should I Choose?

The 650SQ and 870 are useful for more compact installations, while the 1200 and 1600 suit many medium-sized fireplace and media wall projects. The 1900 and 2400 create a much wider panoramic feature and generally work best where sufficient wall width is available around the appliance.

For a more detailed comparison of the different sizes, TV proportions and installation options, see our British Fires Buying Guide.

Signature, Deluxe & Black Edition

British Fires offers the main New Forest models in Signature, Deluxe and Black Edition specifications.

• Signature uses the Forest View ceramic log arrangement.
• Deluxe upgrades the fuel bed with hand-finished Deluxe Real Logs and a more reflective rear appearance.
• Black Edition combines Deluxe Real Logs with Rear Dark Glass for a darker backdrop and stronger flame contrast.

New Forest Fires for Media Walls

The wide viewing area of the New Forest range makes it particularly well suited to contemporary media walls and false chimney breasts. Selected installation configurations allow the fire to be viewed from the front only, from the front and one side, or from three sides.

The best arrangement depends on the shape of the wall, television position and how prominently you want the fire to project into the room. Bonfire can also assist with complete media wall design and installation where required.
