Electric Fires

Electric fires offer a simple way to bring warmth and atmosphere into your home. With no need for a chimney, gas, or solid fuel, they’re easy to install and straightforward to live with, while still giving you the look of a real fire.

At Canterbury Fireplaces, we supply and install a range of electric fires and media wall options, designed to sit comfortably within your space and suit the way you live.

Inset Electric Fires

Inset fires sit flush within a wall or surround, giving a neat, built-in look. They bring calm, warmth, and balance to a room, helping it feel finished without being over the top.

Make Your Electric Fire a Focal Point

  • Strategic Placement: Position your electric fire where it can be enjoyed from all parts of the room. When it’s visible and central, it naturally draws people in and gives the space a welcoming feel.
  • Surrounding Decor: Enhance the fire with subtle touches: a mantel, a mirror, or a few favourite pieces of artwork. These details help the fire blend beautifully into the room while adding style and warmth.
  • Furniture Arrangement: Place sofas and chairs facing the fire to create a cosy seating area. Whether for relaxing alone or entertaining friends, it becomes the natural hub of the room.
  • Lighting: Use gentle lighting to highlight the flames, soft wall lights, recessed spots, or a warm glow from nearby lamps can make the fire feel even more inviting and homely.

Wall-mounted Electric Fireplaces

Wall-mounted fires lift the flame off the floor and make a subtle feature of a wall. They provide controllable heat and a gentle glow, adding style and comfort without taking up space.

Freestanding Electric Fireplaces

Freestanding electric fires are simple, versatile, and immediately welcoming. They can go wherever you need them, giving any corner warmth and a sense of presence. The flicker of the flame feels natural, creating a cosy spot to relax or entertain.

Do Electric Fireplaces Give Off Heat?

Electric fireplaces are designed to provide supplemental heating for your living space. Heat can be adjusted to your desired comfort level, with multiple heat settings available.

Electric fireplaces do not use real flames. Instead, they create the illusion of flames through LED lights and other visual effects. This ensures a safe and efficient heating solution. While the flames in electric fireplaces are not real, they closely resemble the appearance of a genuine fire, providing a cosy and inviting ambience to your living room.

Whether it involves the removal of walls to create space for a striking feature fireplace, expertly managing all required plastering work or the meticulous installation of the fireplace you’ve envisioned, we’ve got it all covered.
