Modern interiors need modern heating solutions to enhance their contemporary look and feel.

Electric fires are the perfect solution with their clean, fuss-free finish and multiple options for realistic and eye-catching flame patterns and effects. Eurostove, experts in electric, wood burning, multi fuel, inset and freestanding stoves and fires, have launched two new slimline versions of its sleek iLektro electric fire collection, perfect for saving space in the living area or open-plan interior as well as smaller homes, studios and apartments.

The iLektro range of electric fires is the ultimate blend of design and technology with stunning flame effects and a clean inset design. Adding a luxurious look to any home, they produce heat instantly. No more waiting around for the logs to heat up and as they don’t require a chimney or flue, they are suitable for all properties including new-builds, studios and flats.

The iLektro IS50 slimline electric fire measures H500 x W1270 x D120mm and combines style, warmth and practicality with its full-screen display, clear-vision low-reflection front glass and realistic flame patterns and effects with 10 settings for the fire-bed and toplight mood lighting.

The iLektro IS60 slimline electric fire meanwhile measures slightly wider at H500 x W1524 x D120mm and also features a full glass front with six vibrant flame colour options, including a new red hue, with variable heat output.

Both the iLektro slimline fires are A rated for energy, can be built-in or wall-hung and are easy to install. Measuring just 120mm deep, they are perfect for fitting into a media wall and come with a choice of six flame colours, three flame speeds, five flame brightness options and two heat settings. Each design also produces a realistic log crackle sound with volume control and users can also choose their own colours for the flame, fuel bed and downlighting.

There is plenty of heat for a cosy winter’s day with up to 1.5kW output as well as even heat distribution technology built-in, so no cold spots. Users will also benefit from energy-saving LED Multi Flame technology and can enjoy the flame effects with or without the heat switched on, making the iLektro slimline electric fires a luxurious focal point all day, every day. Both designs have full-screen display, remote control for ease of use and a handy seven-day programmable timer with room thermostat.

“Our iLektro electric fires are designed to suit all homes at all times of the day,” says Chris Baines, Managing Director of Eurostove. “Users can enjoy the realistic flame effects without the heat as well as benefit from 1.5kW of evenly distributed heat when needed. The new slimline models are ideal for saving space in a smaller room, studio or apartment and look stunning installed into a media wall in an open-plan design. They also have a kind of ski resort or James Bond look about them, which friends and family are sure to love.”

The iLektro IS50 slimline is priced from £650 and the iLektro IS60, from £850
