British Fires New Forest 1200 Black Edition

The British Fires New Forest 1200 Black Edition brings a bold, theatrical flame picture to your living space, making it a natural centrepiece for any contemporary interior. Its wide landscape proportions and dark glass interior work together to deepen contrast and lend the flames a vivid, lifelike glow. Built with modern media walls in mind, this electric fire slots neatly into design-led schemes where a clean, inset finish matters. Whether the room is bright or dimmed for the evening, the result is a warm, immersive focal point that draws the eye.

Designed for media walls

This model is one of our most popular media wall electric fires, thanks to its slim profile and broad, panoramic display. When planning your aperture, work to the exact dimensions of 311 mm depth x 1200 mm width x 565 mm height so the unit sits flush within the wall. The fire runs from a standard mains electrical supply and needs no flue or chimney, which keeps installation straightforward in both new builds and existing rooms. If you intend to mount a television above the fire, always check the heat outlet clearance and follow the manufacturer guidance to protect your screen.

Flame realism and control

At the heart of the Black Edition is a refined LED flame effect that flickers organically across the fuel bed. The Deluxe Real Logs come as standard, crafted from genuine UK oak and hand-finished with a charred, natural texture, available in Campfire or Scattered arrangements for a setup that feels unique to your home. During warmer months you can run the flame-only mode, enjoying the ambience without any heat. Everything is adjustable from the supplied remote control, so you can set the mood from the comfort of your sofa.

Heat and running cost

The built-in thermostatic heater lets you dial in a comfortable temperature and hold it steadily. With UK electricity sitting at around 25p per kWh in late 2025, you can estimate running costs easily; on flame-only mode the draw is minimal, making it inexpensive to keep the ambience going day to day. The heater is designed for efficient, controlled warmth, while the cool glass surface adds peace of mind in family rooms.
