What is the biggest and widest electric fire?

Are you looking for a wide electric fire for your home? In this article, we’ll look at big electric fires to make the perfect focal point for your living room.

Electric fires have been getting bigger and bigger in recent times. In every sense. The trend for installing electric fires where once we might have had a gas fire or – in the case of new build properties – no fire at all, shows no sign of slowing down.

At the same time, the dimensions of many appliances have been increasing. As we all work towards the perfect design feature and focal point in our living rooms, manufacturers have been adding bigger electric fires to their product lines.

So, why are people looking for a wide electric fire and which recommended bigger electric fires are out there?

Why would you want the biggest electric fire?

There are lots of reasons why a big electric fire is a great idea. These include:

A big electric fire for a big room

If you’re looking for an electric fire for a large space, it makes sense to choose the biggest electric fire you can find. You want your electric fireplace to create a gathering place, a focal point and an impressive design feature in your living room. If it’s a large or open-plan space, that’s going to require a large electric fire.

A wide electric fire to match a widescreen TV

Televisions have gotten bigger in recent years. If you’ve got a sizeable TV or even a home cinema room, a little electric fire is going to look out of place beneath it. Instead, you need a big electric fire that will match the size and stature of your TV screen.

Beautiful views around the room

The wider your electric fire, the better the views on offer. Modern electric fires offer spectacular and incredibly realistic flame effects, as well as an array of other LED lighting features. With a wide electric fire – and especially a big three-sided electric fire – you’ll have stunning views of your feature fire from anywhere in the room.

Modern media walls

In most instances, people are on the hunt for the biggest electric fire to install within a media wall. Most media wall fires tend to be landscape electric fires and are designed to be of an appropriate size to be installed beneath a TV. For that reason, they are typically big or at least wide electric fires. 

What is the biggest electric fire you can buy?

The biggest electric fire that we’ve come across is 3 metres wide (or just over 118 inches). This is a pretty extreme example of a wide electric fire and probably too big for the overwhelming majority of living rooms. 

There are also a handful of 2.4-metre (95-inch) and 2.57-metre (100-inch) wide electric fires but, again, these are few and far between. In terms of widely available appliances that are suitable for most people’s homes, the standard for a wide electric fire is around 1.8 metres (or 72 inches).
