Holbury 870 Grey Marble – Front-Open Built-In Electric Fireplace Suite

The Holbury 870 in Grey Marble is a distinctive built-in electric fireplace suite that combines a marble-effect frame with British Fires’ award-winning flame technology. Designed as a front-open, one-sided fireplace, it has no front glass, giving you an unobstructed view of the flames and log bed for an effect that feels remarkably authentic.

Front-Open Design

Unlike many other electric fireplaces, the Holbury 870 has a fully open front with no glass between you and the flames. This design makes the Deluxe Real Logs appear closer and more natural, enhancing the ambience and creating the feel of a traditional fire in a contemporary format.

Choose Deluxe or Black Edition

The Holbury is available in two editions:

  • Deluxe – Features the stunning Deluxe Real Logs, crafted from genuine British oak, paired with a mirrored rear glass panel to enhance flame depth.
  • Black Edition – Combines Deluxe Real Logs with a dark rear glass panel that reduces reflections and sharpens flame visuals.

Deluxe Real Logs – Crafted from British Oak

The Deluxe Real Logs are made from sustainably sourced British oak and hand-finished to highlight the wood’s natural knots, bark, and grain. When paired with British Fires’ advanced flame effect, they deliver one of the most realistic electric fire experiences 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 there to fix the fire in place rather than carry its full weight. The cut-out dimensions must match the appliance size – please refer to the installation manual for precise measurements.

Once the opening is prepared, the fire is slotted into position and secured using the eight fixing points. The unit comes pre-wired with a 1.8 m cable and 13 A plug, making a nearby socket sufficient, though it can also be hardwired by a qualified electrician if preferred. To ensure safe operation, a clearance of around 900 mm should be maintained in front of the fire.

  • Absolutely fantastic service from Bioethanol Fireplace .co.uk. From our first online enquiry this company have been extremely helpful and informative. Casper answered all of the questions that we had and also sent us a video comparing the two fires that we were interested in as we were not able to visit the showroom. Delivery was very quick and we absolutely love our fire. It has made a lovely addition to our conservatory making it much more useable during the colder winter months. Would definitely recommend this company - 5 massive stars from us!

  • I recently purchased a bioethanol fire and I’m extremely pleased with it. It looks great, works beautifully, and has an impressively long burning time. It’s easy to use and adds a lovely atmosphere to the room. I would definitely recommend it to anyone considering a clean, stylish heating option! The fire was packed extremely well for transport, and my husband put it together with ease.

  • I was pleased to have find this company as its products are superior to what is on sale in all the other vendors i researched. I am very happy with my purchase a Victoria cast iron electric stove it looks great in my kitchen - and it warms up my kitchen really quickly. The stove was expensive but worth the investment as i think this stove will be with me for a long time.

  • I purchased a Bioethanol Fireplace from Bio Fireplace Group and I couldn’t be happier. The service couldn’t have been better from start to finish. The fire arrived quicker than expected, the customer service is second to none and well the fire itself is stunning. I can’t wait to purchase another fire for my orangey.

  • Order arrived quickly and in perfect condition due to the care taken in wrapping and packaging. The Columbus fireplace is excellent. It is surprisingly good at warming the room and I've particularly enjoyed lighting in first thing to cheer up a grey start to the day.
