Freestanding Opti-Myst Fire Insert

A hybrid fireplace insert is designed to be placed in an existing fireplace opening where it is no longer possible, or desirable, to burn with ordinary wood. There are plenty of insert fireplaces as options for this, but here, the focus will be on the optimyst insert variant. These small fireplaces are simple and easy to put into an old mantel fireplace, for example. However, if you are more interested in a fireplace that can be seen as more standalone when compared to insert fireplaces, we recommend checking out the optimyst freestanding electric fires.

The hybrid fireplace insert simply needs to be inserted into the fireplace opening and connected to electricity. No other installation is necessary before the hybrid fireplace insert is ready for use. There are few things more enjoyable than having instant to a lovely and easy-to-maintain fireplace.

What is an Opti-Myst Vapour Fireplace Insert?

An Opti-Myst vapour fireplace insert is meant to be inserted into an existing fireplace or stove. The insert will create beautiful flames with a combination of water and electricity. The vapour fireplace just needs to be connected to power and the water tank filled with water, and it is ready to fill you home with beautiful flames and a cosy atmosphere. These fireplaces can be used with remote controllers, making it brilliant to turn them on anywhere in the room.

Unlike a conventional bioethanol fireplace which needs refueling before usage, the optimyst fireplace is all the more easy to use and maintain, thanks to water being the source of fuel for the flame-effects. Once the tank has been filled with water, it can typically be used multiple times before all the water has evaporated. The minimal requirements to maintenance and cleaning makes the optimyst fireplace a very popular addition to one's home. Depending on the technical preferences and one's own comfort, it is also possible to have the water tank of the fireplace connected to the water supply of the house, meaning that it can be automatically refilled without the need to do it yourself. In this way, there is no risk of spillage or the need to carry heavy litres of water into the room where the fireplace is every time it runs out.

With these aspects in mind, the optimyst fireplace is surely one of the most innovative and advanced interpretations of a traditional fireplace and should appeal to those that crave something truly remarkable. This is not created to be the sole replacement of actual fireplaces, but it is a unique reminder that there are so many wonderful recreations of already existing products that achieve similar results in aesthetics, but still manage to remain original and one-of-a-kind in its nature. Keep in mind that this is a perfect fireplace to those with an environment-friendly conscience where no actual smoke is emitted from this brand.

Optimysts are also freestanding

When looking at optimyst fireplace variants, there are many kinds to choose from: the wall mounted are perfect for a cosy fireplace below the TV, the mantel electric fires are designed to be a perfect replacement or rejuvenation of an ordinary mantel fireplace, and of course, there are also the freestanding electric fires meant for placement anywhere on the floor, independent of mantels or walls. As long as there is enough room, the freestanding fireplace can be a great addition to one's home and requires the least amount of work before the fire can be used and enjoyed to liven up a home. The opti-myst for the floor is versatile in nearly any room, making it exceptionally easy to use as a decoration where no compromise is needed to make it flourish with the rest of the room's furniture.

The freestanding electric fireplace quite popular and comes in many different shapes and sizes. In fact, it is possible to purchase freestanding fireplaces with the appearance of a mantel fireplace. These come in different colours and blend in perfectly with the general structure of any room. These optimyst fires come with a variety of designs as well where it is made sure that they never stand out too much from the already-existing aesthetics of a room. In some cases, the measurements of the fireplaces can also be customised to fit everyone's needs, for example if the fire needs to be a little more slim to fit perfectly into a recess or line up with a wall. The options are never-ending with this assortment of fireplaces and are always a welcoming addition to any room.

Water Fireplace - No Need for a Chimney

A water fireplace insert simply needs to be inserted into an existing fireplace or stove, and does, therefore, not require a chimney. It is therefore easily installed and can be placed virtually anywhere. It is easy to install, and the only thing that is really required for the water vapour fire insert is electricity.

In contrast to traditional wood burning stoves, vapour electric fire inserts do not pollute, and requires minimal maintenance and cleaning. A vapour fireplace is therefore an eco-friendly alternative, and it creates a beautiful flame without the risk of burning.

Vapour electric fires are available with and without a heater, so they can also produce heat if desired.

How does a Vapour Fireplace Work?

A vapour fireplace insert features the generous Opti-Myst technology, which is patented by Faber. This technology is a combination of light and water, and together it creates the beautiful flames. Even though vapour electric fire inserts works on an electric supply, they do not function as heaters as opposed to a regular fireplace or wood burning stove, but the flames will be a realistic and decorative look in your home.

Vapour electric fires typically has a separate water tank built in. This is where the water vapour is generated through a generator. The steam is then carried out by small LED lamps that heat the air and then "push" the steam upwards, which is what creates the realistic flames. A vapour fireplace insert has a very long burning time, and burns between 7-10 hours per 1 litre of water, but it does vary from insert to insert.

A water vapour fire insert does not emit odours and helps maintain a good indoor climate since the flames are created only with electricity and water. It is therefore an eco-friendly alternative to a wood burning stove or fireplace.

What is a freestanding insert?

It can be quite hard to dinstinguish the small and technical differences between fireplace categories. For example, inserts and freestanding fireplaces have their respective benefits that appeal to individual enthusiasts, but the freestanding insert, a user-friendly and simplified mix of the two, is much easier to place into one's home.

In short, a freestanding insert fireplace is entirely independent and does not need to be installed as such. Contrary to regular fireplaces that may need to be installed directly onto a wall or mantel, the freestanding insert can simply be placed like any other decoration into wherever it is desired. This also means it is very easy to move the fireplace around in case a renovation of decorations and furniture is wanted. Therefore, it becomes freestanding by being independent and insert-able by typically being designed to fit into mantels or recesses in walls.
