Who the British Fires Ashlett Insert Electric Fire suits best
The Ashlett Insert is the quiet achiever of the range: a compact built-in fire with a clean framed face, sized for the smaller chimney breast or a neat study and snug installation. Four frame styles let it lean traditional or modern, and it delivers the built-in look at the friendlier end of the British Fires price list.
From the survey
Installation notes for the British Fires Ashlett Insert Electric Fire
At 677mm by 491mm it builds into a modest recess, set out against the British Fires dimension diagram, with the spur concealed and the frame chosen to suit the reveal. It is the least invasive of the built-in fires, which makes it a tidy retrofit into existing breasts.
An honest steer
How it compares with similar models
Against the New Forest 650 it is smaller and landscape rather than square, at a similar starting price to the 650 with its deeper box; the choice is usually the shape of the space. Against the Sway it is built-in where the Sway is a fireplace insert. We match the model to the opening on the survey.
Fitting it locally
