Why Choose a Dimplex Fire or Stove?
Dimplex is one of the most recognised names in electric heating, known for combining style with convenience. Whether you want a traditional stove effect or a sleek modern wall fire, the brand has options that suit both classic cottages and contemporary apartments. With features like Opti-Myst flame technology, remote controls, and energy-saving settings, these fires provide the look of a real flame without the mess of solid fuel.
Dimplex Gosford Opti-Myst Electric Stove
The Dimplex Gosford is one of the most popular freestanding stoves in the range. It gives you the charm of a wood-burning stove, but it simply plugs into the wall — no chimney or flue required. The Opti-Myst flame effect uses water vapour to create realistic flames and smoke, making it one of the most convincing alternatives to a real fire.
Best for: Traditional styling with maximum convenience.
Dimplex Oakhurst Opti-Myst Electric Stove
For a more classic feel, the Dimplex Oakhurst brings character with its matt-black finish and double opening doors. Like the Gosford, it offers adjustable flame effects and two heat settings. You can also enjoy the flame display on its own, perfect for evenings when you want the ambience without extra warmth.
Best for: Homes that want the look and feel of a traditional log stove.
Dimplex Burgate Opti-Myst Electric Stove
If space is tight, the Dimplex Burgate offers the same flame and smoke realism but in a compact design. With remote control, thermostat, and silent operation, it fits neatly into bedrooms, studies, or smaller living rooms without overpowering the space.
Best for: Smaller rooms where you still want a cosy focal point.
Dimplex Ignite XL 50 Inset Electric Fire
Shifting to a modern style, the Dimplex Ignite XL 50 is a slimline inset fire that looks incredible in media walls and feature walls. Its Multi-Fire XD flame technology offers customisable flame colours and brightness, giving you more control over the mood.
Best for: Contemporary interiors and modern homes.
Dimplex Ignite Bold 60 Electric Fire
For maximum impact, the Dimplex Ignite Bold 60 is a show-stopping centrepiece. With a 60-inch glass display, it’s designed for open-plan living rooms. The Optiflame effect, mirrored glass, and app controls make it one of the most advanced models on the market. ComfortSaver technology even reduces energy use by up to 11%.
Best for: Large living spaces and statement media walls.
