Legend Fires

Legend Fires – British-Made Gas, Electric & Outdoor Fires

Legend Fires is a British fireplace manufacturer established in 1996 and based in Lancashire. The company built its reputation around gas fires and has since expanded its collection to include contemporary electric fires and outdoor wood-burning fires.

At Bonfire, you can browse the complete range of Legend Fires across traditional and contemporary applications, from compact 16-inch inset gas fires and high-efficiency glass-fronted models to landscape gas fireplaces, electric media wall fires and outdoor heating.

Which Legend Fire Is Right for Your Home?

The best Legend fire depends on your existing fireplace, chimney or flue, the amount of heat you require and the style of installation you want.

For a traditional fireplace opening, models such as the Legend Spirit Gas Fire, Legend Vantage 16″ Gas Fire and Legend Spirit Superslim provide compact inset solutions with a variety of styling and control options.

If you want something more architectural, Legend’s Ethos collection includes larger glass-fronted models such as the Legend Ethos 750 Landscape Gas Fire, designed to create a wider contemporary focal point.

Legend Gas Fires for Standard Fireplace Openings

One of Legend’s strengths is its selection of inset gas fires designed around the familiar UK fireplace format. These allow an existing fireplace to be upgraded while retaining the character and proportions of a traditional hearth-mounted fire.

The Legend Spirit and Legend Vantage are particularly suited to customers looking for a conventional inset gas fire with a choice of trims, frets and control options.

Legend Gas Fires for Shallow & Precast Flues

Not every property has the depth required for a conventional inset gas fire. The Legend Spirit Superslim Gas Fire has an inset depth of approximately 90mm and is designed for installations where fireplace depth is restricted, including many Class 2 and precast flue applications.

The standard Legend Spirit is another compact option and can be specified with different control and styling combinations.

High-Efficiency Legend Gas Fires

For customers prioritising usable room heat as well as flame appearance, Legend produces a range of glass-fronted, high-efficiency gas fires.

The Legend Ethos 750 Landscape, for example, provides a wide contemporary fire display with up to 4.71kW heat output and a stated efficiency of 87.2%, making it a strong option for larger contemporary fireplace projects.

Other models in the Ethos and Evora collections provide different dimensions, outputs, installation styles and fascia choices, allowing the appliance to be selected around both the technical requirements of the property and the intended interior design.

Legend Balanced Flue Gas Fires – For Homes Without a Chimney

A traditional chimney is not always required to install a gas fire. Selected Legend Evora balanced flue gas fires can exhaust directly through an external wall using a dedicated balanced flue arrangement.

The Legend Evora HE 4 Sided Balanced Flue Gas Fire is designed for this type of installation and combines a glass-fronted fire with contemporary styling.

Balanced flue suitability depends on the property and proposed installation position, so our team can advise on the appropriate fire and flue arrangement before ordering.

Legend Electric Fires & Media Wall Fires

Legend’s electric collection provides an alternative for homes where a gas supply or chimney is not required. The range includes compact inset electric fires as well as the larger Nero models designed for contemporary feature walls and media wall installations.

The Legend Nero 1200 and Legend Nero 1500 can be incorporated into one, two or three-sided installations, providing flexibility when designing a media wall, false chimney breast or bespoke fireplace feature.

For a more traditional fireplace opening, the Legend Wraith Inset Electric Fire offers a compact 16-inch format with different frame and fuel-bed options.

Legend Outdoor Fires

Legend also manufactures outdoor wood-burning fires in Lancashire. These products are designed to create a focal point and provide real-flame warmth for patios, terraces and outdoor entertaining areas.

The Legend Garden Cube uses glass on four sides to provide a panoramic view of the fire, while other models within the outdoor collection offer different formats for garden and terrace installations.
