Wall Mount Electric Fireplaces

Wall mount electric fireplaces can create an inviting and warm atmosphere to your home without the hassle of ash cleaning the chimney, purchasing stacking and hauling firewood or coal. They are a safer alternative to traditional fireplaces and do not block the floor or cause injuries to people who walk.

Size

If you are a fan of the look of a traditional fireplace, but don't have space for a huge chimney and hearth, a wall mount electric fireplace offers a stylish alternative. These units are a great way to save floor space since they can be mounted on a flat surface. They can be used all year round by plugging them into an electrical outlet. Most models have a remote control that permits simple switch-off and on. Some models also have decorative embers and a flame display that is surprisingly realistic. They are available in a variety of sizes and designs.

Most models of wall-mounted electric fireplaces are slim however, you can have large linear options that run across the length of a wall. They are ideal for rooms with low ceilings. They can provide a warm focal area that doesn't occupy too lots of space.

Electric fireplaces can be installed on flat walls, just as a wood fire. They are available in various frame colors, ranging from black to mirror glass and stainless steel. Choose a frame colour that complements your wall or existing furnishings. Some models also come with a flat screen television to make them an all-in-one entertainment system.

Many people prefer this method, mounting their TV above their fireplace. This works well, but you should be aware of the clearance requirements for both the TV and the electric fireplace. According to most clearance guidelines, all combustibles must be kept at least three feet from the fireplace.

Some of these units are designed to be recessed into the wall for a custom fit. This type of fireplace might not produce as much heat as the straight-front wall mounted model, but it's perfect for a custom-designed installation. There are also electric fireplaces designed to be wall-mounted and mounted against the ceiling. These fireplaces are perfect for commercial settings such as hotel lobbies or restaurants.

Many of these models have different settings for heat output, which you can change according to the time of year. Some can be turned off all year round, without sacrificing the attractive flame effect. Some also have a no-heat setting that just warms the surrounding area to provide additional comfort. These features are perfect for homes with pets and children, since the fireplace does not generate any heat.

Flame Effects

A lot of electric fireplaces feature different flame effects that are created to look like the real flame. These features are typically paired with an LED backdrop to create a realistic appearance that is easily blended into various interior design styles. You can also change the color and intensity of the flame to match your mood, or the atmosphere of the room.

A chemical-based flame effect is a more traditional alternative. It simulates the behavior and appearance of a natural flame. The units are made up of the use of a chemical liquid that is heated inside the unit in order to produce fire. These units can be messy and require lots of maintenance.

Plasma flame effects are a viable alternative to chemical flames. They are made of tiny particles that flash and glow, mimicking the appearance of a real flame. The issue with this kind of flame simulation is that it may appear too fake and may not be as appealing visually as other options.

If you prefer a more natural flame there are wall hung electric fire mounted electric fireplaces that feature a realistic looking log set and a realistic holographic flame projection to create an appearance that is very realistic. These fireplaces are usually decorated with rust or wood and blend perfectly with traditional interior designs. They can also be put in recesses for a more customized appearance that can blend into the various wall designs.

The best model to fit your space will depend on the size of the space and your personal preferences. For larger rooms, you will want to choose a bigger model that will fill the space and not make it seem empty. If you are installing the fireplace in a smaller room small or compact models is a better choice. You can also choose from an array of frame and surround options for these electric fireplaces to match your design. For example the AL45CLX2-G wall-mount fireplace from Ambiance is available in a number of different finishes like flat black metal, and standard black glass that will fit into most 2x4 walls.

Ventilation

Wall mount electric fireplaces provide a lot of style and functionality without the difficulty of installing an actual fireplace. You don't have to employ an electrician, you don't require a chimney and you don't have to worry about running gas lines through your home. There are a few things to make when selecting a wall-mounted electric fireplace.

The venting system is among the main distinctions between wall-mounted fireplaces and freestanding ones. While most freestanding units have a vent on the back of the unit, many wall-mounted models do not. This is because the majority of the heat comes from the top of the fireplace. If the fireplace isn't equipped with enough venting, it can cause a fire risk. This is why it's crucial to read reviews before buying an appliance.

Flame effects are another major difference between freestanding and wall mounted fireplaces. Freestanding fireplaces are outfitted with LED screens and rotisserie lights, wall-mounted models use mist or other advanced technologies to simulate flames and smoke. Dimplex, for instance, has an entire line of fireplaces that use ultrasonics to create the illusion of fire.

Some wall-mounted electric fireplaces are able to be recessed partially into the wall. This allows them to be installed within tight places where a traditional fireplace would not be able to fit. This also helps them blend into a broad variety of interior wall mount electric fireplaces styles.

Some wall-mounted electric fire places are multi-view, while others are front-view only. These are usually a little larger than their single-view counterparts and allow you to see the flames from multiple sides of the room.

Installation

Wall mount electric fireplaces, as the name suggests, are designed to be mounted on the wall. They are usually mounted with a bracket. They are generally easy to install, although the exact procedure will differ between models. Some are connected to the wall and screwed into it, while others may require you to build an enclosure around them prior to placing them on the wall. In any case, you must be sure to follow the directions included with the fire. Make sure that the framed opening size is correct and position the unit in line with any safety guidelines.

The first thing to do is to find a place that will work for your fireplace. Take into consideration the design of the room, as well as any existing furniture. It's also important to ensure that the location is close enough to a power source or that you're willing to have an electrician move plug sockets for you (if there's one there already).

Prepare the space once you've decided on a suitable location for your fireplace by clearing the area, removing existing furniture, and making the walls. This could mean removal of any decorations or wallpaper, as well as the location of any studs, and marking them using a stud finder (you'll often be required to have two people hold the fireplace to ensure that it's properly positioned).

The brackets that are used for wall-mounted electric fireplaces come with a template that allows you to drill holes. You can use this template to mark the position on the wall where they will be mounted. Once you've marked the positions, drill the holes and fit the rawl plugs. As a rule you'll need to make sure that the heater - which sits at the front of the fireplace and generates heat - is located at least 400mm away from any combustible materials, such as fabrics.

After drilling the holes, you'll have to attach the mounting bracket. Certain models will require you mount the firebox onto the bracket while others will ask you to mount the fireplace on the bracket before you attach the screen. It is important to follow the directions for installation precisely to ensure that your new appliance is not damaged. Plug in the fireplace and test it.
