Endless possibilities - the vision of architect Boudewijn Slings | Kalfire E-one

Independent of flue and gas connections. The E-one stands for freedom and creates endless possibilities. In any place, in any interior.
"Flabbergasted" is how interior architect Boudewijn Slings described his first impression of the Kalfire E-one. He took his time, looked at the fireplace, absorbed the product, and became enchanted. He had seen electric fireplaces before, but he wasn't impressed. The difference: with the E-one, for the first time, an electric fire is made in which a realistic fire is pursued, so that it looks as if you are looking at a real fire. Boudewijn: "The E-one is unique because it is a really beautiful thing, it looks exactly like the fire of a gas fire. The special techniques that create the flame image create an ultra-realistic look that can hardly be distinguished from a real fire. With the E-one, Kalfire wanted to create a fire that is very close to a real fire, so you can experience the same atmosphere, warmth, and connection as with the other Kalfire fireplaces. That was quite a challenge, but according to Boudewijn it succeeded very well. "The product is alive, it's dynamic, the flames move and you want to keep looking at it."
He, therefore, expects the Kalfire E-one to appeal to many architects. Applying and integrating the fire will be a lot easier, which is particularly attractive for this target group. It is practical, a 'plug and play' idea: as soon as the plug is in you can enjoy the fire. You can build in the fireplace, but the application as a surface-mounted fireplace is also possible. In this way, you can reach a whole new group of people who like a fireplace but - until now - have not been able to install one.
In addition, you no longer have to work with fire-resistant material when installing a fire, because no fire is involved. You also no longer have to take a chimney into account, because until recently this determined the location of the fireplace. Now you can give the fireplace a place anywhere in the room, a fact that gives (interior) architects a lot of freedom. They also prefer to make a design for a client that exactly matches their wishes. If a fireplace has to, or cannot, be placed in a certain place, you have to make concessions. Where people first removed a fireplace from their wish list because it would become too complicated or they could not design it to their wishes, they can now go for that fireplace. People find that interesting, because they have a certain image in their head beforehand of how the space should look like for them, and they want to hold on to that. Boudewijn expects that there will certainly be people who, with the new E-one, will still go for a fireplace.
According to the interior designer, colleagues within his field will also be happy with this new product. They are often asked by private individuals whether there are alternatives to a gas or wood fire, for example, because no flue can be laid in their house or apartment. The E-one is an excellent alternative because you can place the fire anywhere and you are not dependent on a flue or other (gas) connection. Plug it in and you're done! The E-one also offers many possibilities for owners of hotels, restaurants, or holiday parks. The electric fire does not give off any direct heat, the fire is, therefore, safe and accessible for small children and animals. The E-one also has a hotel switch, which allows the fireplace to be connected to a central switching system that is often used in hotels.
Boudewijn sees all these advantages of the E-one as a clear added value for the market. "The fireplace shows a nice looking fire that can give heat without gas or other fuels. It gives the same warm and intimate atmosphere as a wood or gas fire. That is also what people are looking for, an atmospheric addition to their interior".
