Floor Standing Electric Fire

A floor standing electric fire is a fireplace which sits on the ground rather than being installed into walls. All of them give the appearance of flames and produce heat. They can be used with a log, coal effect electric fires freestanding electric fires - Full Record, or modern pebble fuel bed.

Some models also come with remote controls which is ideal for those who prefer to control the settings from a distance. They are certified by the CSA and are safe to use with children in the room.

Here are some examples of

Electric fires that stand on their own can bring a classic style to any room. They are small in size and are simple to install. There are a variety of styles available to pick from, Coal Effect Electric Fires Freestanding with the majority featuring a black surround to create an impressive appearance. Choose a log or coal effect fuel bed to give the authentic look, or opt for colored pebbles to spice things up.

You can also choose to incorporate an HOMCOM Electric Fireplace Stove: Elegant Glass View fire inside your fireplace mantel. They offer a more durable alternative to wall-mounted models and permit additional storage furniture such as credenzas or sideboards to be placed below the unit. They are available in a variety of designs that can be matched to any decor. Some even come with a glass or mirrored panel finish for a modern appearance.

Electric inserts are the perfect method to update any design in your home without spending a large amount of money. They're also a great way to achieve a more energy-efficient heating solution since they don't require any chimney or vents instead, plugging directly into the wall to provide an energy output of up to 4700 BTUs.

Installation

A freestanding electric fireplace is a great alternative if you're looking to build a fireplace that doesn't have a chimney. Whether you're after something to warm up your living space or add a rustic touch to your guest bedroom, there's a wide choice of electric fires to choose from at Direct Fireplaces.

We offer a broad selection of electric fires that are both contemporary and traditional with top brands such as Be Modern, Dimplex, and Celsi. All of our products are backed by a comprehensive guarantee and financing options are also available.

You'll be able to find the perfect electric fire for your home, thanks to our vast selection of sizes and finishes. We've also got a great assortment of accessories, such as back panels and hearths to help you pick the perfect accessories for your fireplace.

Wall-mounted electric fires are becoming more popular as a versatile and easy way of adding an attractive feature to your home. Installing them is straightforward as they don't need chimneys or flues. But, it's crucial to read the instructions carefully and have some essential tools on the premises.

Depending on the model you select depending on the model you choose, you may need to drill holes into your wall and install a bracket. Before drilling, it's a good idea to use a stud-finder and a spirit level to ensure you're not drilling into something important.

Once you have the wall bracket installed, it's time to fit your fire. You can either put the fire in the box and then connect it to the bracket, or you can mount the firebox together with the screen as a complete unit. If you are not confident doing this on your own We recommend hiring an electrician.

Enjoy your new fire when you're done! Remember, always plug your electric fire into an electrical outlet that is specifically designed for it rather than using an extension cable. This will ensure that your fire is secure and can help avoid any problems with your electricity supply in the future.

Flames

There are a variety of flame options for freestanding electric fireplaces that suit your interior design. Some use a chemical mix that rises from one point and lack the chaotic appearance of real wood log flames while others are based on state-of-the-art LED technology that gives the flames a lifelike movement and unpredictability. MagikFlame uses a new innovation called Hybrid-FX, which reverberates the flames as well as the ember bed and accent lighting through a spectrum of colors to create a dazzling experience.

There are a variety of models available with corner-right, left-corner or three-sided bays for more flexibility. You can also find wall-mounted models that are single-sided and function well as electric fireplaces that are either partially or completely recessible. These are great for quick and simple installation.

Fuel bed

The fuel bed is the flammable substance surrounding the flames of an electric floor-standing fire, and is responsible for combustion. The fuel bed could be constructed from a variety of materials, like log effect or real coals. It can also be customised to match your design. The fuel bed is affected by many factors, such as its size, shape, and structure. These could have a significant effect on the flames.

Anderson (1964), in a study on pine needle fuel beds, found that spread rates of fire were independent of fuel depth above a threshold of 0.0762m (with a positive correlation below this threshold depth). This observation is in line with earlier observations made by Catchpole and other researchers, as well as observations from the extensive field on fire behaviour studies which Rothermel is the director of.

However the structure of natural fuel beds in wildland ecosystems is extremely complex and their properties vary significantly over time and space. Fuel Characteristic Classification System was developed in order to capture this variability and identify the potential impact of fuelbeds on fire behavior. FCCS fuelbeds are classified into six distinct strata, including canopy, shrubs, nonwoody fuels, woody fuels and litter-lichen-moss. The attributes resulting from the Consume 4.2 calculator embedded within the FFT software are useful to map fuelbeds and could be used to input models for fire behaviour prediction.

For each of the six types of fuelbeds An analysis of dimensionality was carried out to correlate the spread rate of fire under wind and no-wind conditions. This resulted in the generation of dimensionless groups for each of the pertinent variables: dimensionless fire rate of spread, dimensionless fuel particle size and moisture content and dimensionless depth of the fuel bed or fuel loading density and dimensionless wind speed and angle of inclination. Dimensionless correlations made using the groups that were created correlated the rate of spread of fire with wind and no-wind conditions fairly consistently. It is important to remember that these correlations were based only on experimental data which covered a very limited range of natural fuel types that are found in wildland areas.
