Hi Dylan,
Thank you for your review.
We are sorry for any confusion regarding the fire received.
An approx. 2400mm electric fire would be incredibly heavy and cumbersome to transport leading to a hugely increased risk of damage in transit. It is for this reason that British Fires advertise and sell this model as two connecting 1200 size fires, a dividing polished glass and 2400-size front glass. The customer or installer would then plaster up to the trim of the fire as specified in the installation manual to complete the effect of a 2400 fire.
See below for a link to the fire on our website, with the dimensions diagram showing how this is designed:

We appreciate your feedback regardless and can only apologise if this could have been made clearer by the Sales team,
Please do let us know if we can offer any further assistance,
Kind regards,
Direct Stoves & Fireplaces
