New Forest highlights

Air Curtain Technology®
Air Curtain Technology, British Fires’ own patented design, offers a unique dispersion of heat from the fire. All New Forest models control the flow of air through the fire and effectively into the room.

Deluxe Real Logs
Inspired by British Fires’ roots in the New Forest, Hampshire, the Deluxe Real Log fuel bed uses real oak logs. Sourced from sustainable suppliers in Dorset, the Deluxe Real Logs bring a touch of nature to your home. These are standard on the Deluxe and Black Edition models.

Flush finish
The New Forest range benefits from incorporating ACT®. It not only provides great heat but allows the front glass to sit flush to the front of the fire for a unique British Fires look.

LED flame technology
LEDs are a very efficient way to create a realistic flame effect. The New Forest range delivers a sharp, crisp flame effect with low running costs.

Thermostatic heating
Choose a temperature between 17°C and 27°C and the fire will do the work to heat the room up effectively.

Remote control
Every New Forest electric fireplace is equipped with a remote control that bridges the connection between you and your ideal ambiance.

Fuel bed options

Signature logs
When the New Forest Electric Fire first hit the market, British Fires started with a convincing ceramic log set that is still revered today. The Signature Logs capture details found in natural logs, and come with bark, husk and some slate for an earthy forest base. The Signature option can be fully customised and laid out to your preference with the loose items – everything comes in the box.

Deluxe Real Logs
Elevate the setting with Deluxe Real Logs and bring the charm of an authentic fireplace within view. Scorched and charred by hand, then set solidly into place for an easy installation. Each size and model has its own unique arrangement of hand-charred logs, and as they are real logs responsibly sourced from within the United Kingdom, there will be some minor variation between fuel beds. Two layouts are offered: the Scattered logs and the Camp Fire.

Installation options

Cornered installation
Cornered is the option to have only one side covered up and installed into a corner section of a room. This can be done with either the left or right side of the fire covered, creating a dramatic room composition.

3-sided installation
A three-sided install offers both the left and right-hand sides open within a constructed chimney breast – a modern approach on a classic arrangement.

Front facing
Fully recessed creates a more prominent face-on view. Both sides are covered by fully recessing the fire into the chimney breast. This installation method adds perceived width to any room.

Glass options

Mirror glass
The mirrored glass creates a stunning illusion of true depth within the fire. Its two-way reflective properties beautifully enhance the log display, producing a captivating effect where the flames appear to dance through the logs themselves. Standard on all Signature and Deluxe models.

Dark glass
Put the spotlight on the Deluxe Real Logs with rear dark glass. Standard on the Black Edition, the darkened rear glass adds a sleek, sophisticated edge to the fire, creating a striking contrast that lets the logs and flames take centre stage.

SCHOTT anti-reflective glass upgrade
SCHOTT is a leading brand, recognised globally for its precision in glass engineering. All British Fires models are available with anti-reflective glass for a clear, crisp display. The AR glass reduces reflections on the front and side glass, so you not only get a super-clear view of the logs, but the flame effect becomes sharper and more vibrant. The standard glass supplied is toughened for safety whilst maintaining a sleek visual appearance.

Optional extras

• Deluxe log layouts – choose the Camp Fire style for a more built-up look, or the Scattered layout for a more earthy, random positioning of the logs. All Deluxe log beds are fixed in place and laid by British Fires’ log technicians.
• Finishing trim – a 30 mm frame is available for front-facing installations to give a neat edging border around the fire.
• SCHOTT anti-reflective glass – reduces reflections on the front and side glass for a clearer view of the logs and a sharper, more vibrant flame effect.

Installation advice

We suggest having the fire on site before starting your installation. Part of the fire is hidden behind the wall and will need to be concealed. Check the installation manual for more details.
