Dimplex Ignite Models Explained

Ignite XL (Original Series)

Ignite XL is the original Ignite platform and a popular choice for clean, modern built-in fireplace designs. It features Dimplex flame technology (including Multi-Fire XD® on select models) and is typically operated with standard controls (such as remote and/or onboard controls, depending on the unit). If you want a proven Ignite look with a straightforward user experience, Ignite XL is often the starting point.

Ignite Evolve (Upgraded Ignite)

Ignite Evolve is an evolution of the Ignite XL concept, built around Dimplex’s most popular flame platform: Multi-Fire®. It is designed to fully recess into a 2x6 wall (with or without trim for an edgeless look) and includes enhanced controls on supported models (including Dimplex Flame Connect app control). Select Ignite Evolve models are also certified for outdoor installation when installed according to the manufacturer’s requirements.

Ignite XL Bold (Most Dramatic + Multi-Sided + Linkable)

Ignite XL Bold is built for maximum visual impact. It is designed to create the illusion of greater depth and uses Multi-Fire XD® flame technology with expanded lighting customization. Bold supports multiple viewing styles (including front, bay, and corner installations), and select models can be connected/linked to create an ultra-long fireplace run for large feature walls and architectural builds.

Ignite Aspire (Portrait Built-In Firebox)

Ignite Aspire is a portrait-style built-in electric firebox designed to deliver a more classic, hearth-forward look in a taller format. It features Dimplex’s Dynamic-Fire flame effect with Rhythmic Inner Glow Logs, plus Comfort$aver® supplemental heating. Aspire supports multiple viewing configurations (front, bay, left, right) using optional trim components, and includes modern control options such as Dimplex Flame Connect app control, a wall-mountable remote, and a hidden touch display (varies by configuration).

Ignite Ultra (Premium Linear with Flex-Flame Customization)

Ignite Ultra is a premium linear option focused on a refined flame-and-log presentation. It offers five installation choices—front-facing, left corner, right corner, bay, or a modular configuration—and includes features such as Flex-Flame customization and Rhythmic Inner Glow Logs. Ultra also includes Comfort$aver® supplemental heating and control options such as Dimplex Flame Connect app control on supported models.
