3D electric fire ...

In a wellinsulated house there is no real requirement for a fire. But it’s in the blood for humans to want warming flames to congregate around. For Terry and Olwen a Dimplex Oti-myst electric fire provided the answer to this conundrum. At the touch of a button (or verbal instruction to Alexa), this electric fire sends up vapour that emulates real flames. Sat into a false chimney breast, the product looks like an open log burner, and even sounds like a crackling fire too, but generates no heat. “e psychological warming effect is astonishing”, says Terry. “It was designed into the project from day one, and it does not disappoint”. Whilst the couple’s particular model is not usually available on the high street, being reserved for commercial use in hotels and airport lounges, similar versions can be purchased online.
