Almost 1.5 metres of flame is a lot of fire. Here's what you can do with it.

The Lopi 6015 HO GS2 is the largest of the premium High Output linears. Choose driftwood, birch log, tumbled stone or glass for the fire to burn over. That choice changes the whole feel of the room.

Ceramic glass sends far more radiant heat into the room than tempered glass, and the dual six-speed fans move it around. GreenSmart 2 modulates the flame to hold the temperature you set. You're getting 14.19kW of output, heating up to 260m².

If you're planning a feature wall with a fire at this scale, get in touch and talk to our team about the 6015 HO GS2.

Start with the palette when you're planning a living room around a fireplace.

Soft, pale walls let the flame be the warmest colour in the room. Here, there's a hint of teal in the canvas and a few stems of pampas on a low ledge. One warm cushion finishes it off. That's enough.

The New Forest sits into the wall, its wide, low flame as suited to this relaxed, coastal room as a formal one. Credit to our UK family at for the image.

At Maison Soleil, the fire looks as if it was always meant to be there.

This is the living room in Three Birds Renovations' House 18 on Sydney's North Shore. A limestone chimney breast anchors the room, with a Lopi 864 Clean Face 40K set into the stone.

Clean Face means no grills or louvers, with minimal metal between the glass and the stone. The fireplace feels part of the wall. It belongs there.

Behind the glass you get 8.1kW of output, enough to heat up to 185m². A 64% turndown lets you bring the flame right down on a mild spring evening, when you're after the look more than the warmth.

Talk to our team about the 864 Clean Face for your own living room.

The fireplace is the easy part. What sits behind the flame is where it starts to feel like yours.

Fireback liners are one of the simplest ways to go from choosing a unit to choosing a look. Herringbone brick, handmade brick, straight brick, stacked tan brick, ledgestone, old world stucco, or black glass, which reflects the flame and visually doubles the depth of the fire.

Worth knowing where it applies: fireback liners are an inbuilt gas option. They are not available on the freestanding gas models, and the wood range does not use them at all.

If you are renovating this spring, it is worth settling the finish early.

Ask us which fireback liners suit the model you are looking at.

Next winter feels a long way off, but installers' diaries fill up faster than you would think.

Spring and summer are the right time to book a wood heater upgrade or a new gas install. We have more availability now, the job gets done properly without anyone rushing, and you are ready to go from the first cold night instead of waiting on a queue.

If a new fireplace has been on your mind, get in touch and let us walk you through it.

If you have ever wondered why British Fires costs more than the alternatives, the answer starts a long way back.

It all began in the New Forest, Hampshire, in 1983, and British Fires has built its reputation on getting the flame right. Both the flame effect and the ambient underbed glow came out of genuine research into how a real log fire behaves, not a generic LED effect. Over 40 years, that attention to detail became the New Forest range.

Ask us about the New Forest range and the story behind it.
