Floor Standing Electric Fire

The floor-standing electric fireplace is a fireplace which stands on the ground instead of being built into a brick wall. All of them give the appearance of flames while producing heat. They are able to be used with a coal, log or a modern pebble fuel bed.

Some also have a remote control which is ideal for those who prefer to control their settings from a distance. They are CSA certified and safe to use in rooms with children.

The following are some examples of

Freestanding electric fires provide a traditional aesthetic that can elevate the look of any room. They take up minimal space and are easily installed. There are many styles to pick from and most of them feature black surrounds to create a striking effect. Choose a coal, log or pebble effect fuel bed to get an authentic feeling.

You can also choose to have an electric fire built into your fireplace mantel. They provide a longer-lasting option than wall-mounted ones, and allow for additional storage furniture like sideboard cabinets or credenzas that can be placed below the fireplace. They are available in different styles that will fit into any decor. Some are even available with a glass or mirrored panel for a modern look.

Electric inserts are the perfect option to improve any design in your home without spending a lot of money. They're also a great option to achieve a more energy-efficient heating solution since they don't require any chimney or vents and instead plug directly into the wall to provide a heat output of up to 4700 BTUs.

Installation

If you're looking for a stylish cost-effective and practical method of adding a fireplace your home without the requirement for a chimney or flue, a freestanding electric fire could be the perfect option. If you're looking to warm up your living space or add a rustic touch to your guest bedroom, there's a wide choice of electric fireplaces to pick from at Direct Fireplaces.

We have a variety of electric fires that are both contemporary and traditional with top brands such as Be Modern, Dimplex, and Celsi. All of our products are covered by a full guarantee and finance options are available.

You'll surely find the perfect electric fire for your home thanks to our huge selection of sizes and finishes. We also have a fantastic selection of accessories, including hearths and back panels, to help you pick the perfect finishing touch for your fireplace.

Wall-mounted electric fires are becoming increasingly popular as a versatile and easy method of adding an attractive feature to your home. Because they don't require chimney or flue, installing them is relatively simple but it's essential to follow the manufacturer's instructions and have a few essential tools in your arsenal.

Depending on the model you select It may be necessary to drill holes into your wall and install a bracket. It's a good idea to use a spirit level and a stud finder before drilling, to make sure you're not drilling into anything that could be of importance.

Once you have the wall bracket installed It's time to install your fire. You can either place the fire in the firebox and then secure it to the bracket, or you can mount the firebox with the screen as a complete unit. If you're not comfortable doing this on your own, we'd recommend getting an electrician to do it for you.

Enjoy your new flame when you're done! Always plug your electric fireplace into a designated socket, instead of using an extension cord. This will help ensure the security of your electric fire and prevent future problems with your electrical supply.

Flames

freestanding flame effect electric fires electric fires have various flame options to fit your personal style. Some electric fires employ a chemical mixture that is emitted from only one point, and Freestanding Electric Fires doesn't have the chaotic look of wood log flames. Others are based on LED technology which gives the flames believable movement and unpredictable. MagikFlame's Hybrid FX technology creates an immersive experience through the cycling of the flames, accent lighting, and the ember bed, which is the spectrum of colors in a rainbow-like manner.

There are a variety of models available with corner-right, left-corner or three-sided bays to provide even more flexibility. You can also find single-sided wall mounted models that work as partially or built-in electric fireplaces. They are perfect for quick and simple installation.

Fuel bed

The fuel bed associated with a floor standing electric fire is the flammable material that surrounds the flames and is responsible for freestanding electric fires their combustion. The fuel bed is composed of a variety of materials such as log effect or real coals, which can be adjusted to match your decor. The fuel bed is affected by a variety of factors, including its size, shape, and structure. They can have a major impact on the flames.

Anderson (1964) in a study of pine needle fuel beds, found that the spread of fire was independent of fuel depth over the threshold of 0.0762m (with positive correlation below this threshold). This observation was in line with earlier observations in crib fire experiments conducted by Catchpole and others, as well as observations from the extensive field of fire behaviour studies of which Rothermel is the most well-known.

However, the structure of natural fuel beds in wildland environments is extremely complex, and their characteristics vary significantly over time and across space. Fuel Characteristic Classification System was developed in order to capture this diversity and to determine the potential impact of fuelbeds on fire behavior. Fuelbeds classified by FCCS are divided into six strata that include: shrubs, canopy, nonwoody fuels woody fuels litter-lichen-moss. The attributes summarized by Consume 4.2, embedded in the FFT software, are helpful to map fuelbeds. They can be incorporated into models for fire behaviour predictions.

For each of the six types A dimensional analysis was carried out to compare the rate of spread of fire under wind and no-wind conditions. This led to the creation of dimensionless groups based on each of the variables: dimensionless spread rate, dimensionless fuel particle sizes and moisture content, dimensions dimensionless fuel bed density or loading density and dimensions dimensionless wind speed. Dimensionless correlations using the resulting groups were able to correlate the rate of spread of fire with wind and no-wind conditions easily. It is important to note that these correlations were based solely on research data that only covered a small range of natural fuel types that are found in wildland regions.
