The unit measures 152 x 20 x 44cm overall. The front glass spans 152 x 35.2cm whilst each side glass panel is 35.2 x 10.6cm. The 20cm depth fits most standard wall cavities. Check your wall depth before ordering as recessed installation requires adequate space behind the mounting surface.

Can I use the flame effects without the heater running?

This feature makes it perfect for summer ambiance or when you only want the visual appeal without additional warmth.

Is professional installation required or can I install it myself?

The fireplace includes all mounting hardware and a detailed manual for DIY installation. Most people can complete wall-mounted or recessed installation with basic tools. However, recessed installation may require wall modification and electrical work. Consider professional help if you're uncomfortable with electrical connections or wall cutting.

Touch screen controls on the unit provide backup operation if the remote is misplaced. Both control methods offer complete access to customisation features for convenient operation from anywhere in the room.
