Product Description
Beautiful hand polished cast fascia in satin chrome finish or black. An eclectic mix of classical design features from period fireplaces that transcend the fashions of time.
The 1080 is a NEW electric fire featuring LED technology designed to significantly improve the flame picture and running performance. This modern technology is not only easier on the eye but it is a fraction of the cost to run a standard conventional bulb and will last longer too. To keep the operation simple you have the three control options: 1) Flame effect only, 2) Flame + 1kW Heat, 3) Flame + 2kW Heat. The controls are mounted discretely under the hood and can be accessed easily.
The decorative solid cast iron fascia is simplicity and elegance at is best. It is a design that is equally at home in modern and traditional interiors.
Also included are two detachable spacer frames to allow the fire to be installed in a fireplace; fully inset (requires a 5″ fireplace depth), semi inset (3″ fireplace depth) or simply freestanding without a fireplace to fit flush against a wall.
The 1080 is specified with a one piece fixed realistic moulded coal fuelbed which provides a warm under fuelbed glow that you would expect from a real gas fire.
This product is covered by our comprehensive 3 year guarantee.

Our guide to Chimney & Flue Types
At First Choice Fireplaces we know it can be confusing to work out which chimney or flue type you have. We offer a standardised key approach to categorise our fires in a way that is easy to understand. These icons indicate the chimney or flue type that each fire is suitable for.
No Chimney or Flue
Identifying Features – A flat roof, no present chimney opening.
What this means – The easiest fire to install, these products do not require a chimney or flue.
Brick Chimney
Identifying Features – These chimneys are easily recognised by a raised stack topped with either a teracotta pot or gas terminal.
What this means – This type of chimney relies on the natural circulation of heated air to expel the products of combustion up your chimney.
Balanced Flue
Identifying Features – A horizontal flue venting directly outside.
What this means – No chimney required. Balanced Flue fires vent directly outside through a horizontal co-axial pipe (one pipe within a larger pipe). The outer pipe draws air in from the outside and the inner pipe expels combustion gases. Depending on the fire selected, the twin-walled pipe may exit horizontally through an external wall or vertically through the roof. No electric supply is required; therefore there is no sound with a balanced flue system.
Pre-Fabricated or Pre-Fab Flue (Class 2)
Identifying Features – Identified by a steel flue terminal on the roof or by the metal flue box behind the fire.
What this means – These flues create the same circulation of heated air as a brick or stone chimney.
Pre-Cast Flue (Class 2)
Identifying Features – Can be identified by a raised ridge vent terminal.
What this means – Built from concrete or clay blocks, pre-cast flues provide a rectangular sectional flue. This causes a natural circulation of heated air to expel the compustion products. These flues tends to be very shallow in depth so a slimmer fire is often required. Deep appliances however may be able to be installed with the use of either a spacer kit or deeper rebate into the fireplace.
Powerflue
Identifying Features – Requires an electricity supply, can be identified by the fan unit on the external wall (Approx 300mm square).
What this means – No Chimney Required. Powerflue fires expel the combustion gases directly outside the building through the use of an electronically driven fan unit mounted on the external wall. A sophisticated microprocessor monitors performance and automatically shuts off the fire in the unlikely event of a failure.
