Flames

The flames of an electric wall fireplace can be created by LED lights or video images. The flames look very real and can be adjusted to your preference. The flames are surrounded by a crystal glass which can be tinted with a number of different shades.

Some units feature fake logs that gives the appearance of a real fire but without the smoke or flames.

If you have children or pets in your home, ensure that the flames are not touching objects that ignite, such as curtains, pillows and other furniture.
