Inserts › Drop-Down Insert

Embed an electric fireplace insert with water vapor in an existing fireplace opening or wall construction. The integrated inserts are very popular because they offer the opportunity to add your very own touch to your fireplace.

If you have an existing hole in the wall, make sure that the thickness of the wall is larger than the insert in question. The models are available in different lengths, so it should be possible to find a solution that suits your goals. There are both electric fireplace inserts with or without decorative firewood on top.

We also have ready-made electric built-in fireplaces, where the combustion chamber itself is integrated into a frame. You will find these under installation. Another solution may be a free-standing or fully integrated electrical insert.

      More information about Electric Insert


      What is an electric fireplace insert?

      A freestanding electric insert is an excellent choice if you want to revive your old fireplace. By installing a freestanding electric insert, you can create a warm and cozy atmosphere in your living room with its realistic flame effect, while avoiding the hassle of sourcing and storing wood, as well as cleaning and maintaining the fireplace.

      Freestanding electric inserts are available with two different technologies. Some operate entirely on electricity, while others use a combination of water and electricity. Purely electric models emit a certain amount of heat, similar to an electric radiator.

      However, there are also types of electric inserts based on hybrid technology, sometimes called hybrid fireplace, water vapor fireplace, or Opti-Myst fireplace. All these terms refer to the same technology, which uses a blend of water and electricity. Flames are created by heating water in a container, then illuminating the water vapor with LED lights. This process produces very realistic flames and the illusion of smoke, without emitting smoke or posing a risk of burns. These products require minimal maintenance, are soot-free, and can be easily placed in your existing fireplace.

      Which electric fireplace insert should I choose?

      Two important factors come into play when choosing a freestanding electric insert: price and design. While models may vary, they all share the same principle: recreating the effect of wood burning.

      Heat or ambiance?

      It is crucial to determine whether you need an additional heat source or if you simply want to bring your fireplace to life for visual pleasure. If you're looking for a heat source comparable to an electric radiator, opt for a freestanding electric insert. However, if you want to decorate your home and create a warmer atmosphere, an insert equipped with hybrid fireplace technology is more suitable. You'll enjoy stunningly realistic flames without excessive electricity consumption.
