If your mental image of an electric fire is a quaint, retro feature, it’s time to update your impression, because a modern electric fire can light up a room in more ways than one.
The latest generation of electric fires are sleek, contemporary and stylish, with a range of impressive features as well as energy-efficient LED lighting. They also have all the advantages of traditional electric fires - not only are they a safe alternative to a real fire for households with children or pets, they also require almost no upkeep.
There are so many ways to incorporate an electric fireplace into your home, from a traditional hearth design, as seen above featuring Solution Fires' LUX 75 fireplace, to something more contemporary, such as the panoramic LUX 200 set flush into a wall, pictured below.
If you’re a fan of media walls and you’re thinking of getting one installed in your home, why not incorporate an electric fire into the display? Sitting alongside a TV, soundbar, and shelves for all your consoles, games and DVDs, a fireplace will add a welcome touch of warmth and homeliness to your home entertainment set-up. Specially designed to sit within a wall, an inset fireplace is guaranteed to make a night in front of the TV so much cosier.
Solution Fires’ new LUX range encapsulates the best of modern electric fireplaces. The LUX range features seven pre-set flame effects so you can set the perfect mood, from lifelike red and orange Blaze, to cool blue Ice, as well as your choice of three flame speeds. The custom effects aren’t purely visual, either - the LUX range includes crackling fire audio with six volume settings, to add an authentic finishing touch.
All settings can be adjusted via the included remote control, or over WiFi on your smart device using the Solution Fires app.
All LUX fireplaces can be installed as front-facing, corner or panoramic, depending on your preference and room layout. To give a real “wow factor” to larger spaces, you can even install two or more inset fires side by side, creating an extra wide “wall” of fire.
The wow factor extends to the finer details of the fireplace, such as the flickering fuel bed, in a choice of three finishes - Woodland or Silver Birch effect hand-decorated logs, or Premium Real Wood.
Of course, in these energy-conscious times, we’re all naturally concerned about our electricity consumption, but a modern electric fireplace is surprisingly efficient, thanks to low-energy LED lighting. In fact, running costs for the LUX range start as low as 3p per hour. And for additional peace of mind, the LUX range comes with an optional five-year warranty.
