Freestanding Smart Fires

A freestanding Neverdark fireplace needs no installation, no renovation, and no planning permission. It arrives as a finished object — place it in the room, connect it to power, and the fire is ready. That simplicity is the point.

The range covers five distinct characters. The Chalet-I brings the Chalet's volumetric wood-fire effect to a standalone insert format, designed for existing fireplace niches or floor portals. The Mosswood is a modular shelving unit with a live fire at its heart, available in vertical or horizontal orientation. The Fild is a minimal angled panel designed to stand on the floor beneath a television. The Log is a wall-art-scale statement piece with a volumetric flame framed in a choice of metallic finishes. The Around series is a family of cylindrical pedestal fires — including a coffee table variant — built around a round volumetric burner.

All freestanding models feature automatic refuelling, touchscreen and app control, and the same Neverdark Smart Fireplace Technology as the built-in range. Every unit is made to order. Lead times are typically 6–8 weeks.

 

FAQs

These fireplaces are made to order — what does that actually involve?

Every Neverdark fireplace is built to your chosen size and specification, which means nothing is taken off a shelf. Once you've confirmed your model, dimensions, finish, and any optional extras, the order goes into production. Lead times are typically 6–8 weeks. Get in touch and we'll guide you through the choices from the start.

Do these fireplaces need a gas supply, chimney, or special electrical connection?

None of the above. Neverdark fireplaces run on bioethanol and produce a real flame with no smoke, no ash, and no combustion byproducts beyond a small amount of CO₂ and water vapour — the same as a candle, at a far greater scale. No flue, no chimney, no gas line, and no specialist electrical work is required. A standard 230V socket is needed for models with automatic refuelling and smart controls.

How does the automatic refuelling system work?

On Firetec and Automatic models, the fuel tank refills itself at the press of a button — you don't manually pour fuel into the burner. An external module handles the fuelling and control, and the system includes smart sensors that monitor operation continuously. The fireplace will not ignite if conditions are not safe, and it shuts down automatically if anything falls outside normal parameters.

Can these fireplaces be controlled from a phone or integrated with a smart home system?

Yes. Firetec and Automatic models can be operated via touchscreen, remote control, and mobile app — ignition, flame height, and shutdown all from your phone. Smart Home integration with systems such as Google Home, Amazon Alexa, and KNX is available as an optional extra. If smart home compatibility is important to your project, mention it when you get in touch and we'll confirm which models and integration options apply.

What finish options are available, and can the fireplace be made to match our interior?

Matte black is the standard finish across most of the range. The Firetec and Chalet models can also be specified in INOX (brushed stainless steel), light bronze, dark bronze, or any RAL colour in matte or gloss — giving you a finish that works with almost any interior palette. Finish options vary by model, so it's worth discussing your project with us before confirming an order.

Can we see the fireplaces in person before ordering?

Yes. The full Neverdark range can be viewed at our partner showroom in London, where technical and design support is also available. Viewing is by appointment — get in touch to arrange a visit.
