DRU Virtuo 180 Evolve Electric Fire

The DRU Virtuo 180 Evolve Electric Fire brings a generously wide flame picture to your living space, making it a natural centrepiece for a contemporary media wall. With lifelike wood-effect flames, gentle warmth and the comforting sound of crackling logs, it conjures a cosy, inviting atmosphere at the touch of a button. Because it runs entirely on electricity, there are no fumes or exhaust to consider, so you gain genuine freedom over where it sits. It is designed to slot cleanly into a feature wall and sit in perfect harmony with a wall-mounted television above.

Designed for media walls

This model is purpose-built to be recessed into a stud or block feature wall, giving you a flush, built-in finish that looks seamless alongside a TV. Measuring 510 x 1815 x 800 mm (depth x width x height), it gives you the figures you need to frame and plan your aperture accurately before construction begins. There is no flue and no chimney requirement, so installation is wonderfully straightforward; you simply need access to a standard power outlet. As the unit emits no combustion heat upwards in the way a real fire would, it pairs comfortably with a screen mounted above, though you should always follow the manufacturer's stated clearances for your particular setup.

Flame realism and control

A multicoloured LED light bed lets you tailor the mood, shifting the tone of the display to suit the moment, while the fuel bed delivers a convincingly natural wood-log appearance. During warmer months you can enjoy the flame visuals on their own, with the heater switched off, so the fire stays a focal point all year round. Operate everything from the supplied remote control, or take charge from your phone using the dedicated app for added convenience.

Heat and running cost

The built-in thermostatic heater warms your room to a steady, comfortable temperature and the glass front stays safe to the touch. With UK electricity at roughly 25p per kWh in late 2025, running costs are easy to budget for, and choosing flame-only mode keeps day-to-day spending especially low when you want ambience without the heat.
