Opti-myst is a revolution in electric fire technology.
Using unique state-of-the-art technology, we have created the most realistic flame and smoke effect ever seen in an electric fire – an illusion so effective that we believe it is difficult to distinguish it from the real thing.

The fully 3-dimensional effect uses established ultrasonic technology adapted from commercial applications to create an ultra fine water mist that is illuminated to create the ‘flames’ and the ‘smoke’. This, combined with the Optiglo® glowing logs and shimmering ashbed, produces an effect that surpasses all expectations for realism in an electric fire.

This amazing effect is currently available in the fires:

• The Chesford inset fire with titanium effect finish
• The Cavendish inset fire with brass effect finish
• The Cadogan traditionally styled stove
• The Cassington contemporary styled stove
• The Piermont traditionally styled stove
• The Brookline inset fire with black finish
• The Charlotte inset fire with brass or antique brass effect finish
• The Delaware contemporary styled stove
