New Forest Highlights
-
Air Curtain Technology®
Air Curtain Technology, our 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 our roots in the New Forest, Hampshire, the Deluxe Real Log fuelbed 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®. Why is this important? 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
LED's 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° 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.

All Deluxe Log fuel beds are crafted using natural products and therefore some differences may occur between each fuel bed. We always aim to replicate the same layout for each bed but appreciate that the nature of the products being used may have a variance in the finer details.
Installation options
Cornered Installation
Corner designs are a great way to use space effectively and bring a unique concept to a room. You can opt to have the left or right side open by using the kit supplied with every fire.
3-Sided Installation
The three-sided option gives a look into the fireplace from all angles and really opens up the whole wall with a panoramic view.
Front Facing
A more prominent face-on view brings the fire to life and focuses the attention on the real focal point in the room... the fireplace. This is a classic look that will never leave us.

Fuel bed options available
Signature
When the New Forest Electric Fire first hit the market, we started with a convincing ceramic log set that is still revered today. The Signature Logs capture details found in natural logs. The Signature option comes with bark, husk and some slate for a earthy forest base for the logs.
The Signature options can be fully customised and laid out to your preference with the loose items, each one offers a completely different look. 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 it’s own unique arrangement of the hand-charred logs. While each model has its unique style there will still be some minor variety in the logs themselves as they are, in fact, real logs responsibly sourced from within the United Kingdom.
We now offer two styles of layout, the Scattered logs and the Camp Fire.
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. This option comes as standard on all Signature and Deluxe models.
Dark Glass
Put the spotlight on the Deluxe Real Logs with Rear Dark Glass. A standard option with 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.
