Fogo Forest fireplace, electric built-in fireplace: convenience without the disadvantages of gas or wood
De Fogo Forest elektrische inbouwhaard The Fogo Forest electric fireplace combines modern technology with the warm, inviting character of a real fireplace, but without the smoke, ash, and maintenance. For those who want to enjoy a realistic fire in a custom interior (cinewall, TV wall, or room divider), the Fogo Forest offers a compelling blend of design, options, and realism.
What exactly is the Fogo Forest?
The Fogo Forest is an electric built-in fireplace from the Xaralyn Fogo line, designed for installation in custom projects and cinewalls. The model is available in several widths and is specifically constructed deeper than many other built-in fireplaces to create a more realistic depth effect, such as the well-known gas fireplace. The fireplace combines LED flame technology with a realistic wood set and glowing base, with extensive color and light settings.
Key specifications
The Fogo Forest is available in various widths and depths; specific examples from the product line show sizes such as 124, 152 and 165 (the width in cm), with typical dimensions around 535 × 1650 × 330 mm (H x W x D). The fireplace features very low idle power consumption for the LED effects and optional heating with infinitely variable settings (0, 750 and 1500 W), allowing it to be used both purely for ambiance and for supplementary heating. It can be operated via remote control or touch panel.
Realistic flames: colours, double flames and lighting above and below
What makes the Fogo Forest so unique is the versatility of its flames. You can choose from multiple flame colors and intensities, and the fireplace features both top and base lighting to accentuate depth and shadows.
In addition, the Fogo Forest features a layered flame effect: two (double) flame layers that together simulate a more complex, dynamic fire. The glowing base is adjustable in dozens of colors, allowing the logs or charcoal to illuminate realistically, revealing the wood grain. This combination of double flames and multi-point lighting creates a deep, cinematic fire image that is ideal for custom interiors.
Wood set, charcoal and detailed glow: realism down to the last detail
The Fogo Forest delivers a detailed wood and charcoal set, specially designed to take advantage of the multi-layered lighting: wood grain, char, and sheen are subtly highlighted by the LED accents. The result is a realistic glow in the wood's underside and a warm, deep red glow in the firebed layer.
Dimensions and installation options
De Fogo Forest is speciaal ontworpen om eenvoudig ingebouwd te worden in maatwerk projecten, tv-wanden of cinewalls. De reeks bestaat uit meerdere breedten (bijvoorbeeld 124, 152 en 165 cm varianten) en de grotere uitvoeringen zoals de Amplo reiken tot circa 180 cm voor brede TV-wanden. Dankzij de relatief grote diepte (±33 cm) is er meer ruimte voor het vlambeeld en de houtset, waardoor de haard ook bij grotere breedtes nog overtuigend blijft. De haard kan zowel met als zonder de verwarmingsfunctie worden gebruikt; de vlammen blijven volledig onafhankelijk van de heater werken. Dit maakt hem geschikt voor appartementen, restaurants, hotel-lobby’s en woonkamers waar sfeer belangrijker is dan warmteafgifte.
Heating: with or without heat
The Fogo Forest typically offers adjustable heat settings (e.g., 0/750/1500 W). This allows you to choose extra comfort warmth in autumn and winter, while in the off-season you can simply turn on the flames for ambiance without wasting energy. Because the fireplace is electric, there's no need for a flue or chimney, and there are no risks associated with open flames or gas. This makes the fireplace an attractive alternative for those who want to avoid the disadvantages of wood-burning and gas fireplaces.
Comparing it to Dimplex and British Fires, what makes Fogo Forest stand out?
Dimplex is bekend om hun gepatenteerde Optimyst®-en andere geavanceerde vlamtechnologieën die vaak werken met damp of zeer geavanceerde LED-patronen; dat geeft uitzonderlijk realistische diepte en soms zelfs “rook” of neveleffecten bij bepaalde modellen. British Fires richt zich op hoogwaardige LED-vlamtechnologie met prijswinnende effecten (zoals hun New Forest-serie) en herkenbare, warme houtsets.
The Xaralyn Fogo Forest positions itself between these players: it combines a greater installation depth with a highly detailed wood set and multi-layer LED flames that, like Dimplex and British Fires, pursue a realistic result, but with its own signature: extra depth, strong base glow and wide colour/light settings. For customers, this means: a premium, flexible built-in product that can easily compete with Dimplex and British Fires in terms of appearance, but is often more advantageous in custom projects thanks to the deeper hearth and wide size options.
Why choose an electric fireplace instead of gas or wood?
An electric built-in fireplace like the Xaralyn Fogo Forest provides instant ambiance without the disadvantages of traditional fireplaces: no smoke, no ash, no chimney, no emissions or permits, and lower maintenance costs. Electric fireplaces are safer (no sparks or open flames), easy to integrate into modern interiors. For consumers who want a high-quality living space with minimal fuss, this is a compelling choice.

Designed for custom installations, it visually and functionally rivals brands like Dimplex and British Fires, while distinguishing itself with its deeper cabinet and cinewall-friendly dimensions. If you're looking for the ambiance of a real fireplace without the drawbacks of wood or gas, the Fogo Forest is a robust, future-proof choice.
