Wall Mount Electric Fireplaces

Wall-mounted electric fireplaces provide a warm, welcoming space to your home without the hassles of ash, chimney cleaning or purchasing stacking, transporting, and storing coal or firewood. They are an alternative to traditional fireplaces and do not block the floor or cause injuries to people who walk.

Size

A wall-mounted electric fireplace can be a stylish option if you desire the look and feel of a fireplace but don't have enough space to install a hearth or chimney. These units are a great way to save floor space since they can be mounted on flat surfaces. They can be used all year long by plugging them into an electrical outlet. The majority of models come with a remote control that allows for simple on/off operation. Some also feature decorative embers and a flame display that's quite realistic. These models are available in different sizes and styles.

Most models of electric fireplaces that are mounted on walls are small but you can find large linear options that stretch across the length of the wall. These are great for rooms with low ceilings and can create a cozy focal feature that doesn't take up the entire space.

Electric fireplaces can also be erected on flat walls, much like a wood fireplace. They come in frames in a variety of colors that range from black to stainless steel and mirrored glass. Choose a frame color that matches your wall or existing furniture. Some models also include flat-screen televisions to create an all-in-one entertainment system.

Many people prefer to place their TV above their electric fireplace. This is a good option but be aware of the necessary clearance between the TV and the electric fireplace. The majority of clearance guidelines recommend keeping all combustible objects at least three feet from the fireplace.

Some of these units are designed to be recessed into walls to create a custom fit. This kind of fireplace may not produce as much heat as the straight-front wall mounted model, but it is ideal for a custom installation. There are also electric fireplaces designed to be mounted on walls and hung from the ceiling. These fireplaces are ideal for commercial settings like restaurants or hotel lobbies.

A lot of these models come with different settings for the heat output that you can adjust depending on the season. Some models can be turned off all year round, without sacrificing the appealing flame effect. Some models also have a non-heat setting which only warms the area surrounding it for added comfort. These features are ideal for homes with children or pets since the fireplace doesn't produce any actual heat and is safe to be touched.

Flame Effects

Electric fireplaces often feature various flame effects that are designed to replicate real fire. These features are usually paired together with an LED backdrop to create a realistic appearance that is easily blended in with different interior design styles. You can also change the color and intensity of the flame to suit your mood or mood of the room.

An alternative to traditional flame effects is to use a chemical effect that mimics the behavior of a natural gas fire. These units use the use of a chemical liquid that is heated within the unit in order to produce fire. These units can be messy and require a lot of maintenance.

Plasma flame effects are a viable alternative to chemical flames. They are made up of small particles which flash and glow, emulating the appearance of the real flame. This type of simulated fire can look fake and not as appealing as other alternatives.

For those who prefer a more natural flame there are wall mount Electric fire mounted electric fireplaces that offer a realistic looking log set and a realistic flame projection that is holographic to give an appearance that is very realistic. These units typically have the appearance of rust or wood that works well with traditional interior designs. They can be positioned in a recess to give an individualized look that can blend with the various wall designs.

The best model to fit your space will be based on the size of your room and your personal preference. For larger rooms, you will want to choose a bigger model that can fill the space and avoid making it seem empty. A compact or mini model is better suited for a smaller room. Electric fireplaces are available in a variety of frames and surrounds to fit your home's decor. For instance, the AL45CLX2-G wall-mount electric fireplace from Ambiance is available in a variety of finishes like flat black metal and a standard black glass that can fit into most 2x4 walls.

Ventilation

Wall mount electric fireplaces provide a lot of style and function without the hassle of installing an actual fireplace. You don't even need to engage an electrician or worry about the flow of gas through your home. However, there are a few things to be aware of when choosing a wall mounted electric fireplace.

The venting system is among the main distinctions between wall-mounted fireplaces and freestanding ones. Most wall-mounted units don't have a vent at the back. This is due to the fact that the majority of the heat comes from the top of the fireplace. If the unit doesn't have enough venting, it could cause a fire risk. It's important to check reviews before purchasing a unit.

Another major difference between wall-mounted and freestanding fireplaces has to do with the effects of flames. While freestanding fireplaces typically have LED screens and rotisserie-style lighting wall-mounted fireplaces employ mist and other modern technology to simulate smoke and flames. Dimplex is one example. Dimplex has an entire line of fireplaces that use ultrasonics to create the illusion of fire.

Certain wall-mounted electric fireplaces can be partially recessed into the wall, and this allows them to be installed in tight areas where traditional fireplaces wouldn't be able to fit. This allows them to blend with many different interior styles.

Some electric wall-mounted fire places have multi-view while others are front-view only. These are usually larger than single-view models and allow you to view the flames on two or more sides.

Installation

Wall mount electric fireplaces, as the name suggests, are designed to be mounted on the wall. They are often mounted using brackets. These are generally fairly easy to install, although the precise process will vary between models. Some are fixed to the wall and screwed in some may require you to construct an enclosure around them prior to placing them on the wall. In either case, be sure to follow the directions provided with the fire. Make sure the size of the opening in the frame is correct and position the unit according to any safety guidelines.

The first thing to do is find a location that will work for your fireplace. Consider the style of the room as well as the furniture you have. It is also important to ensure whether the location is close enough to a power outlet or if you're willing to have an electrical contractor move the plug socket (if one is already in place) for you.

After you've located a suitable spot to put the fireplace, you must prepare the area by clearing it and removing any furniture and then preparing the wall. This could mean removing any existing wallpaper or decoration and the location of any studs, and marking them with the help of a Stud finder (you'll often be asked to have two people hold the fireplace in place to ensure that it's properly positioned).

Most wall-mounted electric wall mounted fireplaces fires will include a template for drilling holes. This template should use to mark the areas on the walls where brackets are to be fixed. Once you have marked the wall's locations and then drilled the holes, you can drill them. Then, you can install the rawl plugs. In general it is essential to ensure that the heater - which is at the front of the fireplace and generates heat - is at a minimum of 400mm away from any combustible material such as fabrics.

Once the holes are drilled, you'll need to mount the bracket. Depending on the model, some of these will require that you attach the firebox onto the bracket, whereas others will require you to place the entire fireplace onto the bracket prior to installing the screen. In any case, it's crucial to follow the installation instructions exactly to ensure that you don't damage your new appliance. Once the fireplace is set, plug it in and test it to make sure it's functioning properly.
