The Wildfire Ravel 550 HE is a breakthrough in gas fire design, bringing the wide-format appeal of European fireplaces to the UK market while fitting into a standard 16” x 22” chimney opening. This innovative gas appliance is perfect for those wanting the grandeur of a larger fire without the need for extensive building work or modifications. With its stunning glass-fronted design, it offers an efficiency rating of 85%, delivering both style and superior heating performance.
A cutting-edge feature of the Ravel 550 is its under-log burners, which create a breathtakingly realistic flame picture. The carefully designed log effect fuel bed provides the look and feel of a real log fire, with flames dancing around the logs to create a warm, inviting atmosphere. For added flexibility, the unique turndown feature allows you to turn off the rear burners independently, keeping the flames alive even when the fire is on a lower setting - perfect for those cosy evenings when you want the ambience without the full heat output.
Despite its larger size, the Ravel 550 HE is designed to fit into a standard builders opening, though it does require a larger back panel cut-out and a 75mm rebate in the fireplace surround. This clever design make it a convenient choice for homeowners looking for a straightforward yet impressive fireplace upgrade.
Available with a choice of five contemporary fascia finishes, the Ravel 550 HE is highly customisable, allowing you to choose the perfect look to complement your home’s decor. The slide control, located on the top right-hand side of the fire, can also be specified in four different colours, ensuring a perfect blend with the fascia.
With a maximum heat output of 3.6kW, this gas fire provides ample warmth for living spaces, making it both an efficient and practical choice. The glass-fronted design also ensures that heat is retained within the room, rather than being lost up the chimney, providing a cost-effective heating solution.
Suitable for installation into either a real chimney or a Class 2 prefabricated flue, the Wildfire Ravel 550 HE offers versatility and ease of installation. Its bold design and larger format ensure it becomes a prominent feature within any fireplace, transforming your living space with its modern aesthetic and inviting warmth.
Wildfire, a leader in gas appliance innovation, has once again demonstrated their commitment to combining beautiful design with outstanding performance. Their dedication to crafting high-quality, efficient heating solutions makes the Ravel 550 HE an exceptional addition to any home, offering the perfect balance of contemporary style and functional warmth.
The Ravel 550 HE is also available with a stylish, aluminium high definition Stove trim for those looking for a more classical look (listed separately).
