The Solution Fires SLE40i Electric Fire is a compact inset electric fire designed to fit a standard fireplace opening while delivering a highly realistic flame effect, glowing fuel bed and practical 1–2kW heat output.
The SLE40i uses Solution Fires’ eTronic 3D effect technology, creating a contoured flame pattern together with a three-dimensional glowing fuel bed. The fuel bed is cleverly tapered to give the impression of greater depth, helping the fire feel more substantial despite its compact inset format.
Customers can choose between a coal-effect or log-effect fuel bed, allowing the appearance to be tailored to the surrounding fireplace and interior style.
The fire includes a thermostatically controlled ultra-quiet fan heater with selectable 1kW and 2kW heat settings. A 7-day programmer is also built in, allowing heating schedules to be set around normal household use.
Both the flame and fuel-bed brightness can be adjusted, giving more control over the visual effect depending on the time of day or the level of ambience required.
A remote control is supplied as standard, making it easy to operate the fire from across the room.
The SLE40i is designed to fit into a standard inset opening, making it particularly useful as a replacement for an older electric fire or as part of a traditional fireplace surround.
A wide range of fascias and fronts is available, allowing the same fire to suit both traditional and contemporary interiors. Options include Mizar, Elara, Contemporary, Classic Provident, Classic Halo and trim-and-fret styles in a variety of finishes.
