Electric Fire

Post by Colana »

Hi,

does anyone know wheere I can buy an electric fire, the kind we're used to seeing in the U.K.?

I'm looking for a modern design, preferably wall-hung. AKI advertise some electric 'woodburner' styles but I'd like something more modern looking.

Check out Leroy Merlin at Algarve shopping, it's like a B & Q depot, they seem to have everything there

This is probably one of those buy in the UK and have delivered items. There does not seem to be the range of modern options here. Shop on line in the UK from say B&Q and give a UK transport company as the delivery address and then they deliver to your door here or Google the many UK firms that provide wall hung electric fires. They will take your order and have the manufacturer deliver to a UK base for transporting. This costs a little more; but you will have ten times more choice and if you are going to sit and look at it for the next 10 years it's worth the cost
