The PureGlow Carmen Inset Gas Fire is a striking blend of modern design and inviting flame performance, created for homeowners who want their fireplace to stand out for all the right reasons. With its bold cast fascia and beautifully sculpted contours, the Carmen immediately catches the eye, giving any room a refined and contemporary centrepiece.
Crafted from solid cast metal, the fascia has a premium weight and presence that sets it apart from lighter, more conventional trims. Its smooth curved edges and sweeping front panel create a dramatic frame that enhances the open-fronted flame picture behind it. Available in your choice of Pure Black for a strong, architectural look or Full Polished for a bright, metallic finish, the Carmen effortlessly adapts to both modern and transitional interiors.
Inside the fire, a glowing fuel bed produces a beautiful natural flame display. Whether you prefer the timeless appearance of coal or the cleaner, minimalist style of pebbles, the Carmen provides a warm and comforting ambience that transforms your living space into a welcoming retreat. The open-fronted design gives the flames a lively, authentic movement that feels closer to a traditional fire than many modern appliances.
Designed to fit a standard 16" x 22" opening, the PureGlow Carmen is available in two depth variations, giving you installation flexibility regardless of your flue type. The full-depth model is the best choice for homes with a Class 1 chimney, offering a deeper fuel bed and the most impressive visual effect. For properties with a shallower Class 2 or pre-cast flue, the slimline version maintains the same elegant style while ensuring a perfect fit.
Operation is simple and discreet thanks to the hidden manual controls behind the swing-open fascia panel. This clever design keeps the fire’s modern lines uninterrupted, while still allowing easy access to adjust the flame height and heat output whenever needed. Safety is also built into every detail, with both an Oxygen Depletion Sensor and Flame Failure Device included as standard.
Whether you’re updating an existing fireplace or completing a new installation, the PureGlow Carmen offers an ideal balance of distinctive design, real flame ambience and everyday practicality, an excellent choice for homeowners who want a gas fire with personality and presence.

Due to the continuing rise in costs for delivery to Highland areas, we have reluctantly concluded that having absorbed these costs for a long time
this is regrettably no longer possible and we have had to introduce a fee for delivery to certain Scottish postcodes. Customers that live in the affected
areas will be contacted when we process your order to be advised on specific extra charges and have the opportunity to confirm the order.
