Floor Standing Electric Fire

A floor-standing electric fire is a fireplace that stands on the ground instead of being built into a wall. They all give the illusion of flame while producing heat and they can be utilized with a log or coal effect fuel bed, or even a modern pebble effect.

Some models come with an remote control that lets you to adjust the settings from the distance. They are approved by the CSA and safe to use with children in the room.

Here are some examples of

Electric fires that stand by themselves can bring a classic look to any room. They are simple to set up and take up a small amount of space. There are a variety of designs to choose from, with the majority of them with a black stove cover to create a truly striking appearance. Choose a log or coal effect fuel bed to give the authentic look or go for a coloured pebble effect to spice things up.

You can also opt to install an electric fire inside your freestanding fireplace mantel. They offer a more durable alternative to wall-mounted models and permit additional storage furniture like credenzas or sideboards to be placed below the unit. They are available in a variety of finishes that can be matched to any decor and some even offer glass panels or a mirrored finish for a more contemporary appearance.

Electric inserts are a great option to improve any design in your home without spending a lot. They're also a great way to get a more efficient heating solution because they don't require any chimney or vents and instead plug directly into the wall to provide the possibility of heating up to 4700 BTUs.

Installation

If you're looking for a chic economical and affordable method of adding a fireplace to your home without the necessity of a chimney or flue, a freestanding electric fireplace 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 an excellent choice of electric fires to pick from at Direct Fireplaces.

We have a wide range of contemporary and traditional electric fires from top brands, including Be Modern, Dimplex and Celsi. All of our products are covered by a full guarantee and financing options are also available.

You'll surely find the perfect electric fire for your home, thanks to our wide range of sizes and finishes. We also have a broad assortment of accessories, including hearths and back panels so you can personalize your fireplace to suit your needs.

Electric wall-mounted fires are great way to add an unique feature to your home. They are easy to set up and are versatile. Since they don't require a chimney or flue, installing them is quite simple however, it is important to follow the guidelines of the manufacturer and have a few essential tools to hand.

Depending on the model you pick depending on the model you choose, you may need to drill holes in your wall and install a bracket. It's a good idea utilize a spirit level and an stud finder prior to drilling, to make sure you're not drilling into anything important.

Once you have the wall bracket set now is the time to put in your fire. You can either place the fire inside the firebox and then connect it to the bracket, or you can mount the firebox together with the screen as a complete unit. If you're not comfortable doing this by yourself We suggest you hire an electrician to do it for you.

When you're finished, you can relax and enjoy your new flame! Be sure to connect your electric fire to an electrical outlet that is specifically designed for it instead of 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 fireplace electric fireplaces that fit your home's style. Some are made up of a chemical mixture that rises from one point, and do not have the chaotic look of real wood log flames while others are based on state-of-the-art LED technology that gives the flames lifelike movement and unpredictability. MagikFlame utilizes a brand new technology 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.

For greater flexibility There are models available in right-corner, left-corner or three-sided bay configurations to suit a variety of installation. There are also wall-mounted models that are single-sided and function well as electric fireplaces that are partially or fully recessed. These are ideal for a quick and simple installation.

Fuel bed

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

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

The structure of the fuel beds in wildland areas is complex and their characteristics change over time and place. Fuel Characteristic Classification System was created to help capture this diversity and free standing fireplace to determine the potential effects of fuelbeds on fire behavior. FCCS fuelbeds are organized into six distinct strata, including canopy, shrubs nonwoody fuels litter-lichen-moss. The attributes summarized by Consume 4.2, embedded in the FFT software, are helpful for mapping fuelbeds. They can be incorporated into models for fire behaviour predictions.

For each of the six fuelbed types An analysis of dimensionality was carried out to correlate the spread rate of fire under wind and no-wind conditions. This led to the formation 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. The dimensionless correlations based upon the groups generated correlations between the rate that fire spreads with wind and no-wind conditions fairly reliably. However, it is important to keep in mind that these correlations were based upon experimental data that only covered a small part of the natural fuel types found in wildland environments.
