Fireplace in an appartment


Caroline and her husband Wim moved into a new flat in January 2021. In their previous house they had a wood-burning stove, which they loved, so they started exploring if they could integrate a fireplace in the flat. They found out that a wood or gas fireplace would not be possible to install in the flat, which left only an electric holographic fire as an option.

Discovering the perfect fireplace


Unfamiliar with fireplace brands or designs and somewhat sceptical about whether an electric fire could provide what they were looking for, Caroline and Wim went to a dealer with no prior knowledge. “We already had a design, we knew what we wanted and what it should look like,” explains Caroline, but would there be a fireplace that fit the end result they had in mind?

When they saw the Kalfire E-one 100F holographic fire, the decision was quickly made. “A fireplace needs burning flames, and its design should add something to the room,” describes Caroline. The style of the fireplace was most important to the couple, but it was also essential that the flames looked as realistic as possible. Other electric fireplaces did not meet these criteria.

While originally they would have opted for a wood-burning fireplace if it had been possible, Caroline and Wim were quick converts to the modern E-one electric holographic fireplace. The fire is not only as authentic and cosy as a wood fire, but it starts at the touch of a button, with a blazing fire leaping to life instantaneously, with no effort required. This ease of use means they don’t miss their old fire at all.

A seamless transition


They were helped with the design and installation by the exclusive Kalfire dealer Flame Design. “We wanted the fireplace in the living room of our flat, and there was enough space for different installation possibilities,” continues Caroline. “The dealer helped us with the design plan, and thanks to their service everything went smoothly – we had no problems.” Soon they were enjoying their new holographic fireplace.
