Available Editions of the British Fires New Forest 870
Signature Edition
The original model, featuring meticulously crafted Signature logs that provide an authentic and visually striking flame effect.
Deluxe Edition
Upgrade to the Deluxe Edition for an unparalleled experience. This edition includes Deluxe Real Logs, each uniquely crafted from natural logs. These artisan-made logs significantly enhance the fireplace's visual appeal, creating a standout feature in any room. The development process involves carefully selecting various sized logs, branches, and twigs to form a realistic log layout. These are then placed on a forest floor bed of bark, twigs, and log remnants. A resin mix is added to the base and cured in an oven, permanently fixing the logs in place.
Black Edition
The Black Edition represents the pinnacle of the New Forest range. This top-tier upgrade combines the Deluxe Real Logs with a sleek, dark glass panel at the back. The dark glass reduces reflections, resulting in a more intense and captivating flame visual experience. This edition truly elevates the fireplace to a stunning focal point in any space.
Exceptional Flame Technology
The New Forest 870 excels in delivering a visually captivating experience through its state-of-the-art LED flame technology. The flame visuals are remarkably realistic, creating the illusion of a deep, real fire that spreads across the entire width of the fire. The reflective back plate enhances this effect, making the flames appear even more dynamic and lifelike. Whether you prefer a subtle glow or a roaring blaze, the New Forest 870 offers multiple flame settings to suit any mood.
Versatile Installation Options
One of the standout features of the New Forest 870 is its versatility in installation. It can be fitted as a one-sided, two-sided, or three-sided fireplace, giving you the freedom to design the perfect focal point for your room. The sleek, symmetrical design of the fire ensures it integrates seamlessly into any setting, be it a modern living room, a cosy bedroom, or a stylish office.
Year-Round Comfort with Air Curtain Technology®
The New Forest 870 is more than just a pretty face; it’s also a highly efficient heating solution. Equipped with a 1.5kW heater incorporating British Fires’ patented Air Curtain Technology®, this model ensures your space is kept comfortably warm. The system works by drawing in cooler air, heating it, and then evenly distributing the warm air back into the room through discreet outlets above the glass. This innovative technology not only heats your room efficiently but also maintains the fire’s sleek, uninterrupted look.
For those warmer days, the New Forest 870 offers a flame-only setting, allowing you to enjoy the mesmerising flames without the heat. This feature ensures that the fire can be a year-round centrepiece, providing ambiance and aesthetic appeal no matter the season.
Stunning Down-Light Effect
The down-light effect is another feature that sets the New Forest 870 apart. When activated, strategically placed LED lights illuminate the fuel bed and reflective mirror, enhancing the depth and brightness of the flames. This creates a stunning visual effect, making the fire appear even more realistic and captivating. The down-lights can be adjusted to create the perfect ambiance, whether you’re hosting a lively gathering or enjoying a quiet night in.
Authentic Fuel Bed Options
The New Forest 870 comes with British Fires’ Signature Logs, crafted to mimic the intricate details of real logs found in the New Forest National Park. Each log is hand-painted to capture the unique textures and colors of natural wood, adding an extra layer of realism to your electric fire. For those looking to elevate their experience even further, the Deluxe Real Logs option is available. These artisan-crafted logs are made from actual wood, creating an unparalleled authenticity that will impress any viewer.
Intuitive Remote Control
Controlling your New Forest 870 is a breeze with the included remote control. Each button is clearly labeled with icons, making it easy to navigate through the various settings. Adjust the flame brightness, change the fuel bed colour, or set the daily and weekly timers with just a few clicks. The remote also allows you to control the heater’s thermostat, ensuring your room is always at the perfect temperature.
Energy-Saving Features
The New Forest 870 is designed with energy efficiency in mind. The open window detection feature is particularly noteworthy. If the room temperature drops suddenly by 5°C or more within ten minutes, the heater will automatically switch off to conserve energy. It will resume heating once the temperature stabilises, or you can manually turn it back on using the remote.
Anti-Reflective Glass Upgrade
For an even more immersive experience, consider upgrading to the optional Anti-Reflective Glass. This feature significantly reduces glare and reflections, making the flames appear more vivid and lifelike. The glass is so clear, you’ll forget it’s even there, allowing you to fully appreciate the beauty of your New Forest 870.
Sleek Finishing Trim
The New Forest 870 can also be enhanced with a Finishing Trim for single-sided installations. This optional accessory provides a clean, polished edge around the fireplace, ensuring it seamlessly integrates with your room’s decor.
