Designed For Chimney Breast Installations

This package is specifically designed for chimney breast installations and requires a minimum internal chimney breast depth of 165mm. The fireplace surround has an 80mm rebate, allowing it to sit correctly around the fire opening and helping create a neat, fitted appearance.

Please ensure your chimney breast or false chimney breast has enough internal depth before ordering. Our team can also provide advice if you are planning a new chimney breast build or would like a complete design, supply and installation service.

Flat Wall Installations

This package can also be designed for flat wall installations, making it suitable for rooms without an existing chimney breast or false chimney breast. In this setup, the fireplace surround is manufactured with a 245mm rebate, allowing the surround and electric fire to be installed neatly against a flat wall while creating the required internal depth for the New Forest 650sq electric fire.

For flat wall installations, please select the 245mm rebate option when ordering. This is ideal if you want the look of a complete fireplace feature without building a full chimney breast.
