British Fires Holbury Electric Fire Suite
- Floating Wall-Hung Design
- Three-Sided Glass Viewing
- Fuel Bed Options
- Hand-Painted Marble Effect
The Holbury was designed for homeowners who believe the best design is invisible.
Where wall-hung suites shout, the Holbury whispers. It sits fully inset within your wall — no projection, no shadow, no visual weight. Just a clean rectangle of flame, floating in your architecture.
The open-front design was a deliberate choice. Glass, however minimal, creates a barrier. The Holbury removes it. You see the flames directly — the dance, the warmth, the light — just as you would with a traditional open fire, but without the mess, the ash, or the chimney.
Inside, the New Forest fire delivers the same award-winning LED flame effect and Air Curtain Technology® found across the British Fires range. The heat pushes outward through concealed channels, allowing the front to sit completely flush. No vents. No grilles. Just glass, flame, and logs.
The Deluxe Real Logs come as standard — genuine hand-scorched oak, individually fixed into place. Each Holbury has its own unique campfire arrangement. The back glass mirrors the flames, creating depth and reflection that makes the firebox feel larger than it is.
White Marble-effect brightens a room. Grey Marble-effect grounds it. Both are hand-painted on eco-friendly, moisture-resistant MDF that will not warp, swell, or deteriorate over time.
The Holbury is for the perfectionist. The minimalist. The homeowner who wants their fireplace to feel like it was always meant to be there.

About the British Fires Electric Suites
The Electric Suites collection was born from a simple observation: most homeowners don't want to become fireplace designers.
They want a beautiful, coordinated fireplace that works — without sourcing a fire from one place, a surround from another, and hoping they look right together.
British Fires solved this by designing the fire and surround as one. Each suite pairs a New Forest electric fire with a perfectly matched surround in contemporary marble-effect finishes. The result is a complete fireplace statement that arrives ready to transform your room.
The Brockenhurst and Winchester suites float on your wall — dramatic, contemporary, impossible to ignore. The Holbury sits flush and seamless — minimalist, elegant, quietly sophisticated.
All three share the same DNA: hand-painted marble-effect finishes, award-winning LED flame technology, and the patented Air Curtain Technology® that pushes heat outward without visible vents or grilles. Just plug in, switch on, and enjoy.
Grey Marble-effect offers a sophisticated contemporary neutral. White Marble-effect brings classic brightness. Both hide wear, both elevate your space, both make choosing easy.

Air Curtain Technology® Efficiency
Air Curtain Technology pushes heat outward through a concealed channel behind the glass, eliminating the need for visible vents or grilles. The front sits completely flush with your wall surface. No frame. No gaps. Just seamless integration — whether wall-hung or inset.
Award-Winning LED Flame Technology
High-efficiency LED elements create sharp, crisp flame effects with natural colour variation. The flame visuals are reflected and amplified by the rear glass — mirrored on Brockenhurst and Winchester, creating depth that flat-screen electric fires can't match. On Holbury, the open front design gives an unobstructed, campfire-like view.
Hand-Painted Marble-Effect Surrounds
Each suite is constructed from moisture-resistant premium MDF with a hand-painted marble-effect finish — Grey or White. The chamfered-edge frame creates clean lines and subtle shadow. No two suites are exactly identical, giving each one genuine craft character.

Frequently Asked Questions
What's the difference between Brockenhurst, Winchester, and Holbury?
**Brockenhurst** is rectangular and wall-hung with three-sided glass viewing — dramatic and contemporary. **Winchester** is square and wall-hung with three-sided viewing — balanced proportions, harmonious aesthetic. **Holbury** is rectangular and fully inset with open-front design — minimalist and seamless. All three come in 870mm, 1200mm, and 1600mm sizes.
Do I need a chimney?
No. All Electric Suites are 100% electric. No chimney, no flue, no gas connection, no ventilation system. Just a standard 13A plug socket.
What's included in the box?
Everything you need: the electric fire, the matching surround, fuel bed (logs and chippings), remote control, and installation instructions. Deluxe Real Logs are an upgrade for Brockenhurst and Winchester (standard fuel bed included). Holbury comes with Deluxe Real Logs as standard.
Can I install a New Forest fire myself?
Brockenhurst and Winchester are designed for straightforward wall-hung installation — mount the bracket, hang the suite, plug in. Holbury requires a fireplace opening or recess, so professional installation is recommended. British Fires advises contacting a local authorised dealer for installation guidance.
What sizes are available?
All three suites come in three sizes: **870mm** (compact, ideal for smaller rooms), **1200mm** (standard, suits most living rooms), and **1600mm** (large, perfect for spacious rooms or media walls).
What's the heat output?
1500W maximum (1.5kW), thermostatically controlled from 17°C to 27°C via the remote. Enough to warm a typical UK living room as supplementary heating.
Can I use the flame without the heater?
Yes. The flame effect and heater are independent. Enjoy the visual all year round without heat — costs just pennies per hour in electricity.
What's the warranty?
1-year standard warranty. Register online within 30 days of purchase for an additional 2 years free — total 3-year guarantee when bought from an authorised dealer.
What's the difference between Grey and White marble-effect?
**Grey** is a sophisticated contemporary neutral that hides marks and works with most colour schemes. **White** is clean and bright, creating classic elegance and making rooms feel larger. Both are hand-painted on moisture-resistant premium MDF.
