DRU Virtuo 180/3 Evolve Electric Fire

The DRU Virtuo 180/3 Evolve brings a genuinely immersive fireside to the heart of your living space, with flames visible across three open sides for a panoramic glow. Designed as a centrepiece for contemporary interiors, it pairs lifelike wood-effect flames with a gentle crackle and adjustable warmth to set the perfect mood. Whether your room calls for a cosy evening atmosphere or a striking architectural feature, this three-sided fire delivers both. It is one of the most versatile options in our range of media wall electric fires.

Designed for media walls

This model is built to recess neatly into a purpose-made media wall, giving you a clean, integrated finish with the flames presented from three angles. When planning your aperture, work to the overall dimensions of 510 mm deep, 1950 mm wide and 800 mm high, allowing tolerance for your framing and finishing materials. Because it runs purely on electricity, there is no flue or chimney to accommodate, and installation needs only a standard power outlet nearby. If you intend to mount a television above the unit, the absence of combustion and exhaust makes for a cleaner build, though you should always follow the maker's stated clearances for any screen positioned overhead.

Flame realism and control

At the heart of the Virtuo is a highly convincing LED flame display, layered over a fuel bed that mimics glowing logs. A multicoloured LED bed lets you tailor the tone of the fire to suit your décor or your mood, from warm amber to cooler shades. Through the warmer months you can run the flames on their own, enjoying the visual ambience without any heat output. Everything is controlled at your fingertips, either by the handset or via the dedicated smartphone app, so adjusting brightness, colour and warmth is effortless.

Heat and running cost

A built-in thermostatic heater keeps your space at a comfortable, steady temperature without overshooting. As a rough guide, with UK electricity around 25p per kWh in late 2025, a fire of this type costs roughly that figure per hour at full heat, while flame-only mode draws far less and remains very economical to run all evening. The surface stays cool and safe to be around, making it a practical choice for family rooms.
