Using Dimplex Optimyst® technology, it produces a highly realistic 3D flame and smoke effect using water vapour and illumination, delivering exceptional visual depth with no heat, combustion, or emissions. Key Features Built-in cassette fire system for custom fireplace and media wall installations Available in Cassette 500 Retail (500R) and Cassette 1000 Retail (1000R) formats Dimplex Optimyst® water vapour flame and smoke effect Flame effect only operation (no heat output) Realistic log fuel bed with glowing ember effect LED illumination integrated with Optimyst® flame system Easy-fill water tank system (Retail models) Optional plumbed water connection (Projects installations) Remote control and manual operation (model dependent) Suitable for residential and commercial feature installations Cassette 500R and 1000R Overview Cassette 500 Retail (500R) A compact 500mm cassette designed for smaller installations or as part of a modular layout. It can be used individually or combined with additional units to extend the flame effect across wider openings. Cassette 1000 Retail (1000R) A 1000mm cassette designed for larger feature installations, offering a wider flame presentation and reducing the number of units required for extended layouts. Both models are designed to be installed individually or connected together, allowing flexible configuration for bespoke media walls and architectural fireplace designs. Optimyst® Flame Technology At the core of the Cassette system is Dimplex Optimyst® technology, which uses ultrasonic vibrations to create a fine water vapour mist. This vapour is illuminated to produce a realistic 3D flame and smoke effect that rises naturally through the log fuel bed. This creates a convincing flame illusion with depth, movement, and visual realism, closely replicating the appearance of a real fire while remaining completely safe and maintenance-friendly. Design and Application The Cassette Retail system is designed for built-in installation within bespoke fireplace surrounds, media walls, and architectural feature walls. Its open-fronted design allows it to be seamlessly integrated into custom joinery or recessed structures, creating a continuous flame line with a clean, frameless aesthetic. It is suitable for both residential interiors and commercial environments such as hotels, restaurants, and retail spaces where visual impact is a key design requirement. Depending on installation requirements, the system can be configured with an integrated water tank (Retail) or connected to a plumbed water supply (Projects installation) for reduced maintenance in permanent applications. Installation and Operation Installation requires a standard electrical connection and water supply for Optimyst® operation. Retail models feature an easy-fill water tank, while project installations can utilise a plumbed connection for continuous operation. As a decorative flame effect only system, the Cassette is designed purely for ambience and visual impact rather than heating.
