The British Fires Holbury 1200 Electric Fire Suite combines the impressive flame effects of the New Forest 1200 electric fire with a beautifully designed decorative surround. Offering a distinctive alternative to conventional electric fireplace suites, the Holbury creates an elegant focal point with the appearance of a professionally finished inset fireplace.
With a generous 1440mm overall width, the Holbury 1200 provides a panoramic flame display that complements modern living rooms, renovated chimney breasts and bespoke fireplace installations. Available in two premium fire editions and four suite colours, it offers an attractive combination of realistic flame technology and contemporary design.
Distinctive Inset Fireplace Design
The Holbury 1200 features a decorative four-piece MDF surround that frames the New Forest electric fire, creating a clean and coordinated appearance.
Unlike traditional mantel-style fireplace suites, the Holbury is designed around an inset fire installation. The decorative outer frame attaches to the fire using a locking mechanism, covering the prepared opening and creating a refined finish.
Its generous proportions and understated styling make the Holbury particularly suitable for feature walls, existing fireplace openings and purpose-built chimney breasts.
Choose from Four Contemporary Suite Colours
The British Fires Holbury 1200 is available in four contemporary finishes:
- Linen Stone: A soft, natural-looking finish that complements neutral furnishings and warm interior colour schemes.
- Carbon Black: A bold, dark finish that provides striking contrast around the illuminated fire.
- Flint Grey: A versatile grey finish suitable for contemporary and transitional interiors.
- Pearl White: A light, elegant finish that works beautifully in bright, minimalist living spaces.
All four suite colours are available at the same price.
Deluxe and Black Edition Options
The Holbury 1200 is available in two British Fires New Forest editions, both featuring handcrafted Deluxe Real Logs as standard.
Deluxe Edition
The Deluxe Edition features British Fires’ realistic Deluxe Real Logs, made using genuine oak sourced from sustainable suppliers.
Each log features natural textures and individual detailing, creating an authentic-looking fuel bed that complements the movement of the LED flames.
The reflective rear mirror glass enhances the flame presentation, reflecting the logs and illumination to create a fuller, more immersive display.
Black Edition
The Black Edition combines the same Deluxe Real Logs with dark rear glass, providing a richer background for the flame display.
The dark glass reduces reflections from the surrounding room, allowing the illuminated logs and flames to stand out with greater contrast.
This edition is ideal for homeowners seeking a dramatic, contemporary fireplace appearance.
Panoramic LED Flame Technology
At the heart of the Holbury 1200 is the British Fires New Forest electric fire, featuring realistic LED flame effects and a detailed illuminated fuel bed.
The wide viewing area allows the flame display to become a prominent feature of the room, while the natural oak logs provide an authentic focal point.
LED flame technology provides impressive visual effects with relatively low electrical consumption when operating without the heater.
The flame-only function allows you to enjoy the atmosphere of the fireplace throughout the year.
1.5kW Heating with Air Curtain Technology
The Holbury 1200 includes an integrated 1.5kW electric heater, providing convenient supplementary warmth when required.
British Fires’ patented Air Curtain Technology helps distribute warm air from the appliance into the room while allowing the front glass to sit flush with the fireplace opening.
Thermostatic heating allows you to select a desired temperature between 17°C and 27°C, with the appliance regulating its heating operation accordingly.
The supplied remote control provides convenient access to the fire’s heating and flame settings.
Designed for Existing and New Fireplace Openings
The Holbury 1200 is an excellent choice for homeowners seeking the appearance of an inset fireplace without installing a wood-burning stove or gas appliance.
The suite can be fitted into a suitable prepared opening, including a purpose-built false chimney breast or an appropriately sized existing fireplace structure.
Its decorative outer frame is designed to conceal the edges of the prepared opening, creating a professional and coordinated finish.
No working chimney or flue is required. However, the installation must provide suitable structural support, electrical provision and ventilation in accordance with the manufacturer’s instructions.
