Is it right for you?
Who the British Fires Sway 16 Inch Inset Electric Fire suits best
The Sway brings British Fires quality down to the classic 16 inch fireplace, the same opening size as thousands of period bedroom and sitting room fireplaces. With Deluxe Real Logs and five metal finishes across two frame styles, it is the premium way to bring a small original fireplace back to life, priced above the value options and worth the difference.
From the survey
Installation notes for the British Fires Sway 16 Inch Inset Electric Fire
It semi-recesses into a standard 16 inch opening, or sits proud with spacer frames where the recess is shallow, which between them cover almost every period fireplace we meet. The frame style and finish, Classic or Elegance in five metals, is chosen against the room, and the fire runs from a normal supply.

How it compares with similar models
Its natural rival in our range is the Fire FX Anya, the value route into the same 16 inch opening at a friendlier price. The Sway answers with the Deluxe Real Logs bed and the jewellery-grade frame finishes. Same room, two budgets, and we happily show both on the survey.

Common questions
British Fires Sway 16 Inch Inset Electric Fire FAQs
Will the Sway fit my original fireplace?
If the opening is the classic 16 inch size, almost certainly: it semi-recesses into the opening, or fits proud with spacer frames where the recess is shallow. We measure on the free survey.
What finishes does the Sway come in?
Two frame styles, Classic and Elegance, across five finishes: Black Chrome, Black Nickel, Black Brass, Chrome Nickel and Chrome Brushed, so the metal can match the room hardware.
How does the Sway differ from the Fire FX Anya?
Both fit the 16 inch opening. The Anya is the value choice; the Sway adds the hand-finished Deluxe Real Logs bed and premium metal frames. We quote both if you are deciding.
Does the Sway give real heat?
Yes, a 1.5kW heater alongside the flame effect, which also runs heat-free, ideal for a bedroom fireplace that mostly wants the glow.
