Electric Fire and Media Wall FAQs

The best choice depends on the size of your wall and the look you want. Recessed and inset electric fires sit flush in the wall for a clean, modern finish, while larger linear fires create a dramatic feature. We stock a large range, and our showroom lets you see the flame effects in person before you buy.

An electric fire suite is a complete fire and surround supplied together. It can be fitted to a flat wall, so there is no need to build a whole media wall around it. It is a quicker and more affordable way to add a focal point to a room.
