Whatyou need to know about Opti myst Fire Rebates:
1. The recess depth of the Opti myst Fire will depend the model you order. The Older models (Cavendish, Charlott, Chesford & Brookline) need deep recesses of around 160mm deep. In an ideal situation the recess depth of the fire should be pushed into your chimney or flue. If you are planning to fit the fire against a flat wall then you will have to order a spacer kit (trim that hides 100mm depth of the fire) and order a fire surround with a 75mm rebate and accommodate for the extra recess depth required. The deeper rebated fire surround pulls the back panel forward (away from the wall) and effectively allows you to recess the fire within a void between the wall and front of the back panel.
2. More recent Opti myst Fire models (Danville series) can be recessed in a standard 75mm rebate & hence are much more fitter friendly if you are installing the fire against a flat wall.
3. If you are installing the Opti myst fire against a chimney, then we will manufacture your fire surround with a 25mm rebate. This means the back panel is pushed as far back to the wall as possible and effectively the fire is pushed into the void within your chimney.
