Many people choose a fireplace because of the warm glow given off by the fire. However, if you want to achieve a truly unique ambience in your living space, why not select a fire that also includes ambient lighting?

The Flamerite Virtue is an amazing example of this kind of fireplace, with a beautiful light bar that frames the main fire insert. With the ability to change the colour of this light bar, the Flamerite Virtue allows you to create a bespoke atmosphere within your home.

This is a fire you can truly make your own too. Why? Because it is available in a range of finishes. For example: 

• The surround is available in three colours: Arctic White, Pastel Grey, and Ivory Cream.
• The fire insert is available in three finishes: silver, brass, or gun metal.
• The fuel bed is available as either: a cinderwood log effect, or glowing coals.

What’s more, the Flamerite Virtue is available with smartphone control, making it easy to control the fire from the comfort of your sofa.

The Flamerite Virtue is also easy to install, being freestanding. Simply position against a flat wall, plug it in, and you’re done!

Resembling much more than a fire - but a feature - the Celsi Electriflame VR Louvre is a bold, eye-catching addition to any home.

With its unique shape and sleek satin silver and black glass construction, the Celsi Electriflame VR Louvre is wall mounted and can be plugged into standard electrical outlets - making installation a breeze!

With a heat output of 0.8kW to 1.6kW, the Celsi Electriflame VR Louvre should be considered an ‘effect only’ fire and shouldn’t be used as the sole source of heat for a room; however, it perfectly complements central heating!
