Dimplex Scala 16″ Optiflame Inset Electric Fire

Product Description The Dimplex Scala 16″ Optiflame Inset Electric Fire is a straightforward and dependable solution for customers looking to upgrade or replace an existing inset fire without the hassle of gas or solid fuel. Designed to fit a standard 16″ fireplace opening, the Scala delivers both warmth and atmosphere in a simple plug-in format. Dimplex’s trusted Optiflame® technology creates a realistic flickering flame effect over a glowing log fuel bed, providing the look of a real fire without the maintenance. When heat is required, the built-in fan heater provides up to 2kW of warmth, with two heat settings and thermostat control to maintain a comfortable room temperature. For milder days, the flame effect can be used independently, allowing you to enjoy the fire all year round. Available in Black Nickel or Brushed Chrome, the Scala suits both modern and traditional fireplace surrounds. An optional spacer kit allows the fire to be installed freestanding or where inset depth is limited, giving added flexibility for older fireplaces or shallow openings. For larger rooms or a stronger visual presence, a wider 22″ Scala model is also available.
