A Temecula, California customer updated their modern, open concept home with an amazing half wall of fire using the Dimplex Opti-Myst Pro 1000 electric fireplace!

The Dimplex Opti-Myst Series of electric fireplaces has the most realistic flame display on the market, and is the only 360-degree fireplace with no installation restrictions. Since the flames are created using water vapor and no heat is produced, the Opti-Myst is completely safe for installation in this type of location.
