Flare electric inset fires provide a straightforward way to introduce the appearance and atmosphere of a traditional fireplace into the home. Designed to sit within a fireplace opening or suitable surround, these compact electric fires combine realistic flame effects and fuel beds with controllable electric heating, creating an attractive focal point without the need for a chimney or flue.
The inset format is particularly well suited to fireplace renovations and rooms where a streamlined installation is preferred. Flare offers both traditional and contemporary designs, from classic fret-style fires with coal effects to widescreen models featuring modern detailing and realistic glowing log beds. The electric format also eliminates the need to store firewood or solid fuel and avoids the ash and cleaning associated with conventional fires.
Exploring the Range of Flare Electric Insets
Flare’s inset collection includes a variety of styles, sizes and finishes to complement different fireplace surrounds and interior designs. Traditional models such as the Bayden, Fazer and Abbey feature more classic proportions and detailing, while models such as the Beam, Novus and Edge offer wider viewing areas and cleaner contemporary styling. The collection also includes inset stove-front designs for those who prefer the appearance of a traditional stove within a fireplace opening.
Flame technology varies across the range, with selected models offering multiple flame effects, adjustable brightness settings and realistic illuminated log or coal fuel beds. Remote-controlled models can provide programmable thermostatic heating, while flame-only operation allows the visual effect to be enjoyed throughout the year without generating additional heat. Many Flare inset fires provide up to 2kW of heat.
When choosing an inset electric fire, the dimensions of the existing fireplace opening and surround should be checked carefully, including the available rebate and required installation depth. Consideration should also be given to the desired style, fuel-bed effect, heat output and control system. Where a spacer frame is required, this should be selected according to the manufacturer’s installation requirements.
For those looking to update an existing fireplace or create a new focal point without the requirements of a conventional chimney fire, Flare electric inset fires offer a combination of traditional character, contemporary styling, realistic flame effects and convenient controllable heating.
