Albany Multi Optimyst - Water Vapor Fireplace Insert

Dimplex Albany Multi Colour Optimyst Fireplace – Realistic Flame, Effortless Comfort

The Dimplex Albany Multi Colour Optimyst Fireplace brings the beauty of a real flame into your home – without smoke, soot, or mess. Using ultra-fine water vapour illuminated by LED lighting, it creates an astonishingly realistic three-dimensional flame and smoke effect that moves just like the real thing. Perfect for those who want the atmosphere of a fire with modern convenience, the Albany combines warmth, ambience, and design elegance in one built-in unit.

The Albany insert is designed for flexible installation in bespoke fireplace surrounds or existing hearth openings. Its single-sided design blends effortlessly into both classic and modern interiors, creating a striking focal point in any living space. The flame effect can also run without heat, making it perfect for year-round ambience.

Flame effects can be customised to match your mood, with adjustable brightness, flame speed, and a full palette of colours - choose the classic natural flame, or switch between blue, violet, red and aquamarine, plus a Prism mode that cycles through them all. You can control every setting via the Flame Connect app on your smartphone, or the included remote, and even add the gentle sound of crackling wood for extra realism. The fireplace's front-drawer system makes refilling the water reservoir effortless, providing up to ten hours of uninterrupted operation.

Installation Guidelines

The Albany plugs into a standard 230V socket - no hardwiring required. It needs free ventilation from underneath and behind so the water vapour can rise and escape and the electronics stay cool, so any surround or enclosure must leave a clear ventilation gap and the vents must never be blocked. If fitting into an existing chimney opening, we recommend having the flue swept and blocked off first, both for efficient heating and to reduce heat loss.

With its straightforward setup and smart controls, the Albany makes it easy to enjoy the atmosphere of a real fire in minutes.
