Floor Standing Electric Fire

A floor-standing electric fireplace is a fireplace which sits on the ground, rather than being constructed into the wall. They all give the illusion of flames while producing heat and they can be used with a log or coal effect fuel bed, or a modern pebble effect.

Some models include an remote control that lets you to alter the settings from an extended distance. They are CSA-certified and safe for use with children in the room.

Features

Electric fires that stand on their own can bring a classic look to any room. They are small in size and are easily installed. There are a range of designs to choose from, with most having a black stove surround to create a truly striking look. Choose a coal, log or pebble effect fuel bed to get an authentic feeling.

Alternately, you can opt for a built-in electric fireplace that can be integrated into your fireplace mantel. They offer a more durable alternative to wall-mounted models, and allow for additional storage furniture such as sideboard cabinets or credenzas that can be placed beneath the fireplace. They are available in a variety of finishes that will suit any style. Some are even available with a glass or mirrored panel finishes for a contemporary appearance.

Electric inserts are a great way to upgrade any design in your home without spending a lot. They're also a great option to achieve a more energy-efficient heating solution because they don't require any chimney or vents, instead plugging directly into the wall for an energy output of up to 4700 BTUs.

Installation

If you're looking for a chic economical and affordable method of adding a fireplace your home without the need for a chimney or flue, a freestanding electric fireplace could be the perfect option. Direct Fireplaces has a wide choice of electric fireplaces that can be used to heat your living room, or to add a warm touch to your guest room.

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 backed by a full guarantee and financing options are available.

You'll be able to you'll find the perfect electric fireplace for your home, thanks to our huge selection of sizes and finishes. We also have a fantastic selection of accessories, including back panels and hearths so you can pick the perfect finishing touches for your fireplace.

Electric wall-mounted fires are a fantastic way to add an interesting feature to your home. They are easy to install and can be used for a variety of purposes. Installing them is easy since they don't require an chimney or flue. But, it's crucial to read the instructions and have some essential tools on your side.

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

Once you have the wall bracket in place, it's time to fit your fire. This can be accomplished by placing the fire into the firebox and then fitting it to the bracket, or you may have to install the firebox and screen together as an entire unit. If you are not confident doing this yourself we suggest hiring an electrician.

Enjoy your new fire when you're done! Be sure to connect your electric fire to an appropriate power socket rather than using an extension cable. This will ensure that your fire is secure and can help avoid any issues with your electricity supply in the future.

Flames

There are a variety of flame options for freestanding electric fireplaces that match your interior design. Some electric fires employ a chemical mixture that is released from one point and doesn't have the chaotic look of log flames made of wood. Others are based on LED technology which gives the flames believable movement and unpredictable. MagikFlame uses a new innovation called Hybrid FX, which cycle the flames as well as the ember bed and accent lighting through a spectrum of colors to create an immersive experience.

Many models are available with left-corner, corner-right or three-sided bays for even more flexibility. There are also wall-mounted models that are single-sided and work well as electric fire free standing fireplaces that are partially or completely recessible. These are perfect for quick and easy installation.

Fuel bed

The fuel bed is the flammable substance that surrounds the flames of a floor-free standing electric fireplace with blower electric fire, and is responsible to combustion. The fuel bed is made up of a variety of materials such as log effect or real coals which can be adjusted to fit your decor. A variety of factors affect the shape of the fuel bed, such as its shape, size and structure, which can influence the combustion of the flames.

In the study of pine needle fuel beds, Anderson (1964) observed that the spread rate of fire was not dependent on the depth of the fuel over the threshold of 0.0762 m (with an upward relationship below this depth threshold). This observation was in agreement with earlier observations made by Catchpole and other researchers, as well observations from the extensive field on fire behavior research that Rothermel is the leader of.

However, the structure of natural fuel beds in wildland ecosystems is extremely complex and their properties vary widely over time and space. To recognize this variation to better understand this, the Fuel Characteristic Classification System (FCCS) was created to categorize fuelbeds and determine their potential effects on fire behavior. Fuelbeds classified by FCCS are classified into six strata: canopy, shrubs nonwoody fuels woody fuels litter-lichen-moss. The attributes resulting from the Consume 4.2 calculator embedded within the FFT software are helpful for mapping fuelbeds. They can also be used to input models for prediction of fire behaviour.

For each of the six types A dimensional analysis was conducted to correlate the spread rate of fire under wind and no-wind conditions. This led to the creation 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 using the resulting groups correlated the rate of spread of fire in wind and no-wind conditions consistently. However it is important to remember that these dimensionless correlations were based on experimental data that only covered a very small part of the natural fuel types that are found in wildland environments.
