Holbury 1600 Grey Marble – Wide Front-Open Electric Fireplace Suite

The Holbury 1600 in Grey Marble is the largest model in the Holbury range, combining a marble-effect surround with British Fires’ award-winning flame technology. Made from MDF with a painted marble finish, the surround offers the timeless look of stone while remaining lightweight and easy to install. Its front-open, one-sided design provides an unobstructed view of the flames and log bed for an authentic, open-fire effect.

Panoramic Front-Open Design

With its wide 1600 format, the Holbury provides a generous flame display that fills larger rooms with ambience. The glass-free, front-open design creates a closer, more natural flame effect, bringing the Deluxe Real Logs to life as though they were a real wood fire.

Choose Deluxe or Black Edition

This fireplace suite is available in two versions:

• Deluxe – Supplied with Deluxe Real Logs, handcrafted from genuine British oak, alongside a mirrored rear glass panel to create depth in the flame picture.
• Black Edition – Combines Deluxe Real Logs with a dark rear glass panel, which reduces reflections and enhances flame sharpness.

Deluxe Real Logs – Handcrafted from Oak

The Deluxe Real Logs are sourced from British oak and finished by hand to highlight the natural knots, bark textures, and grain. When paired with British Fires’ flame visuals, they deliver one of the most realistic electric fire displays available.

Installation Information

The Holbury suite is designed for straightforward installation into a prepared wall opening. A secure stud wall or chimney breast is required, as the brackets provided are designed to hold the fire in place rather than support its full weight. The cut-out dimensions must match the appliance size – please refer to the installation manual for exact details.

Once the opening is ready, the fire can be slotted into place and secured with the eight fixing points. The Holbury comes pre-wired with a 1.8 m cable and 13 A plug, allowing it to connect directly to a nearby socket, or it may be hardwired by a qualified electrician. For safe operation, a clearance of around 900 mm should be maintained in front of the fire.
