Optiflame

The world's most popular flame effect

Light up your Hearth

Optiflame is our original flame effect, continually refined and improved since it revolutionised the fires market in 1988, and found in homes and hearths across the globe. Using the art of illusion the flame effect is created from a reflecting surface, producing a series of seemingly random flickers that mimic the real thing to produce a convincing 2D flame effect that adds depth and comfort to any space.

The Optiflame effect can be operated independently of the heating function of the fire, so that you can enjoy the ambience flickering firelight whenever you want it.

Optiflame is available across a wide range of our fire styles, offering you a way to bring the luminescence of flame to any space.
