If your property doesn’t have an existing chimney, fireplace and hearth, then you’ll want to buy a standalone fireplace suite.

The OER Flametek Midi perfectly fits the bill!

This fireplace suite is designed to be incredibly easy to install; simply align against a wall, plug it in, and it’s ready to use.

As it’s a freestanding fireplace, you have maximum flexibility as to the positioning of the fire. You just need a flat wall to place it against. As such, the OER Flametek Midi isn’t confined solely to living rooms; you can place it in other parts of your rental property if you wish.

Aside from its immense practicality, the OER Flametek Midi has a number of aesthetic benefits too. It features an impressive, realistic flame effect which can be used without heat output.

The suite itself is finished in satin white, with an Astoria grey shelf. It also features a range of fuel bed options, including coals, logs, pine cones, pebbles, and crystals.

So, if you’re looking for a great all-round electric fireplace suite for your rental property, choose the OER Flametek Midi!
