Make a grand statement in your home with the British Fires Knightwood, an ultra-modern, portrait-style electric fire that redefines focal-point heating. Designed for those who want more than the traditional wide-screen electric fire, the Knightwood’s vertical format adds height, elegance, and drama to any space, whether integrated into a stud wall, bespoke joinery, or used to divide open-plan living areas.
Inspired by the iconic Knightwood Oak in the New Forest, this fire mimics its namesake’s stature and presence. Boasting a tall display window measuring nearly 1160mm high by 717mm wide, the flames within this showstopping appliance command attention the moment you enter the room. Whether your interior style is classic, contemporary, or something in between, the Knightwood brings luxurious visual warmth and modern appeal.
At its core lies a 1.5kW concealed fan heater, ready to provide instant warmth when needed, but the flames can also be enjoyed independently, offering year-round ambience without any heat. The fire features low-energy LED technology, producing colour-changing flames and ember lighting to suit any mood or time of day.
Each Knightwood electric fire includes the brand’s Deluxe Log fuel bed as standard, setting it apart from many competitors. This incredibly realistic feature is crafted using real oak logs, hand-scorched for effect, and combined with bark, twigs, and a carefully moulded resin base. The result is a ultra-realistic fuel bed that perfectly complements the flame visuals, offering a truly immersive and lifelike fireplace experience.
For those seeking an even bolder aesthetic, the optional Black Edition upgrade includes a dark rear glass panel that significantly boosts the flame effect by minimising ambient reflections and intensifying the contrast behind the logs. This creates an even more dramatic visual, especially in low-light settings.
To take things one step further, you can choose to add the Anti-Reflective Glass option - technology used to reduce glare and surface reflection on the fire’s front. This upgrade enhances the depth and realism of the flames, helping to create a visual experience that looks closer to a real wood-burning fire than ever before.
Controlled entirely by remote, the Knightwood puts you in command of flame intensity, colour themes, and heater functions, without ever having to leave your seat.
For homeowners looking to add a tall, premium electric fire to a designer media wall, a narrow room recess, or a full-height centrepiece, the British Fires Knightwood is one of the most visually compelling options on the market today.
