British Fires New Forest 1600 Black Edition

The British Fires New Forest 1600 Black Edition is the flagship of the 1600 line, built to bring scale, drama and genuine warmth to your living space. With a generous 1600mm landscape display, it delivers a sweeping flame picture that anchors a room and draws every eye. The signature dark glass interior sits behind the flames to deepen contrast and sharpen each flicker, while the Deluxe Real Logs lend remarkable authenticity. It is a natural centrepiece for high-end interiors and one of the most striking media wall electric fires you can specify.

Designed for media walls

This model is made to be recessed cleanly into stud or blockwork, giving you that seamless, built-in finish beneath a wide-screen television. When planning your aperture, work to the exact unit size of 311mm deep by 1600mm wide by 565mm high, allowing the recommended tolerance around the body for a flush fit. Being fully electric, there is no flue, chimney or gas connection to consider; you simply need a suitable mains supply nearby. As with any heat-producing appliance mounted below a TV, leave adequate clearance above the fire and follow the manufacturer guidance so warm air rises away from your screen.

Flame realism and control

The LED flame effect moves naturally through the genuine oak logs, each hand-charred in the UK and offered in Campfire or Scattered arrangements for a layout that feels uniquely yours. The dark glass backdrop intensifies the colour and definition of the flames, with the effect at its most immersive in lower light. A flame-only setting lets you enjoy the ambience through the warmer months without any heat output, and the supplied remote control makes it effortless to adjust the look and settings from your sofa.

Heat and running cost

A thermostatic heater lets you set and hold a comfortable temperature, so the fire warms the room efficiently rather than running constantly. At a typical UK electricity rate of around 25p per kWh in late 2025, running costs stay predictable, and choosing flame-only operation keeps things especially economical when you want atmosphere rather than warmth. The cool glass front gives you a safe surface, making it a reassuring choice for busy family homes.
