Floor Standing Electric Fire

A floor standing electric fire is a fireplace that sits on the ground rather than being built into walls. They all give the appearance of flame while producing heat and they can be used with a coal or log effect fuel bed, or even a modern pebble effect.

Some have a remote control that is perfect for those who wish to control the settings from afar. They are approved by the CSA and safe to use with children in the room.

Here are a few examples of

Freestanding electric fireplaces have an elegant design that can improve the look of any room. They are easy to install and require little space. There are many designs to choose from, with most with a black stove cover to create a striking look. Choose a log or coal effect electric fires freestanding effect fuel bed to add to the authentic look or go for a coloured pebble effect to spice things up.

Alternately, you can opt for a built-in electric fireplace that will be incorporated into your fireplace mantel. They are a much more durable alternative to wall-mounted units and permit you to put additional furniture to store your items beneath the unit, such as sideboard cabinets or credenzas. They are available in different styles that will fit into any style. Some are even available with a glass or mirrored panel finish for a modern appearance.

It is designed to fit in with your fireplace A fireplace insert with an electric component is the perfect way to upgrade your current interior design without spending too much money. They're also a great method to create a more efficient heating solution because they don't require any chimney or vents, instead plugging directly into the wall to provide the possibility of heating up to 4700 BTUs.

Installation

A freestanding electric fireplace is a fantastic alternative if you're looking to add a fireplace without a chimney. 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 offer a range of contemporary and traditional electric fires from leading brands such as Be Modern, Dimplex and Celsi. All of our products come with a comprehensive warranty and financing is available.

With an extensive range of sizes and finishes you're bound to find the ideal electric fireplace for your home. We've also got a great collection of accessories, including back panels and hearths to help you pick the perfect finishing touches for your fireplace.

Electric wall-mounted fireplaces are a fantastic way to add a unique feature to your home. They are easy to set up and are versatile. Installing them is easy because they don't require chimneys or flues. But, it's crucial to read the instructions carefully and have the necessary tools on hand.

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

After you have erected the wall bracket, it's time to install your fire. This can be accomplished by placing the fire inside the firebox and then fitting it to the bracket or you might need to fit the firebox and screen together as a complete unit. If you're not confident doing this by yourself we suggest hiring an electrician to do it for you.

When you're finished you can sit back and take a break and enjoy your new fireplace! Be sure to plug your electric fire into an appropriate power socket instead of an extension cable. This will ensure that your fire is safe and will help prevent any issues with your electricity supply in the future.

Flames

Freestanding electric fires have different flame options to fit your personal style. Some utilize a chemical mix that rises from a single point, but do not have the chaotic look of real wood log flames, while others are based on the latest LED technology that gives the flames a lifelike motion and unpredictable. MagikFlame utilizes a brand new technology called Hybrid-FX, which reverberates the flames along with the ember bed, accent lighting through a rainbow of colors to create an immersive experience.

Many models come with left-corner, corner-right or Floor Standing Electric Fire three-sided bays for even greater flexibility. There are also single-sided wall mounted models that work well as built-in or partially recessed electric fireplaces. They are ideal for quick and easy installation.

Fuel bed

The fuel bed is the flammable material that surrounds the flames of an electric floor-standing fire, and is responsible to combustion. The fuel bed is composed of a range of different materials like log effect or real coals, which can be adapted to match your decor. The fuel bed is affected by a variety of factors, including its shape, size, and structure. These can have a significant impact on the flames.

In the study of fuel beds made of pine needles, Anderson (1964) observed that the rate of spread of fire was independent of the depth of the fuel above a threshold of 0.0762 m (with an upward relationship below this threshold). This observation is in line with earlier observations from the crib fire experiments conducted by Catchpole and others and observations from the vast field of fire behaviour studies of which Rothermel is the most well-known.

The structure of the fuel beds in wildland areas is a complex system and their characteristics change over time and place. In an effort to capture this variability the Fuel Characteristic Classification System (FCCS) was created to categorize fuelbeds, and identify their potential impacts on fire behavior. FCCS fuelbeds are classified into six strata; canopy, shrubs nonwoody fuels fuels and litter-lichen-moss. The resulting attributes summarized by the Consume 4.2 calculator built into the FFT software are helpful to map fuelbeds and could be used to input models for fire behaviour prediction.

A study of the dimensional structure of each of the six types of fuelbed was conducted to determine the rate of spread of fire in windy and non-windy weather. This resulted in the generation of dimensionless groups for each of the relevant variables including dimensionless spread rate of fire and dimensionless size of the fuel particle 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 spread rate of fire in wind and no-wind conditions fairly reliably. However, it is important to keep in mind that these correlations were based on experimental data that only covered a very small portion of the range of natural fuel types that can be found in wildland habitats.
