The DRU Virtuo 180/2 Evolve Electric Fire brings the warmth and character of a living flame into your home using nothing but electricity. Designed as a two-sided fire, it lets you enjoy the dancing flame picture from two viewing angles, making it an ideal choice for corner settings and open-plan layouts. With its layered flame imagery, colour-shifting LED bed and gentle crackling soundtrack, this fire delivers true fireside ambience. It slots beautifully into a contemporary media wall, where it becomes the centrepiece of your room.
Designed for media walls
The Virtuo 180/2 Evolve is built to be recessed into a stud or block media wall, giving you a clean, frameless finish that sits flush with your surround. Because it is fully electric, there is no flue, chimney or gas supply to plan for, which keeps installation straightforward and opens up far more positions within a room. You simply need a suitable electrical connection nearby. When pairing the fire with a screen above, always follow the manufacturer guidance on clearances to keep your TV safely away from any rising heat. Dimensions for this model are not stated here, so please check the specification table below before cutting your aperture.

Flame realism and control
This fire produces a strikingly lifelike flame effect, combining several flame pictures with a fuel bed that glows through a choice of LED colours for a genuinely convincing look. During warmer months you can run the flames on their own, enjoying the visual display without any added heat. Operation is effortless thanks to the supplied remote control, and you can also manage settings through the DRU app for added convenience.
Heat and running cost
A thermostatic heater lets you set and hold a comfortable temperature, warming the room evenly and switching off once your target is reached. With UK electricity priced at around 25p per kWh in late 2025, you can estimate running costs from the fire's rated output. Choosing the flame-only mode keeps costs very low, since the LED display draws only a fraction of the power of the heater. As an electric appliance, it also offers a cool, safe glass surface for peace of mind.
