Floor Standing Electric Fire

The floor-standing electric fires electric fireplace is a type of fireplace that sits on the ground instead of being built into a brick wall. They all give the illusion of flames, while also producing heat and they can be utilized with a log or coal effect fuel bed, or a modern pebble effect.

Some also have a remote control, which is ideal for those who wish to control their settings from afar. They are CSA certified and safe to use in a room with children.

Here are some examples of

Freestanding electric fires offer a traditional aesthetic that can elevate the look of any room. They are easy to install and require little space. There are many styles to choose from, with the majority featuring a black surround to create a stunning appearance. Choose a coal, log or pebble effect fuel bed to get an authentic feel.

Alternatively, you can go for a built-in electric fire that will be incorporated into your fireplace mantel. They are a more durable option than wall-mounted units and allow you to add 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 for a modern style.

Electric inserts are the perfect method to update any interior design without spending a large amount of money. They are also an energy-efficient way to heat your home, as they don't require chimney or vents. Instead they plug directly into the wall and produce up to 4700 BTUs of heat.

Installation

A freestanding electric fireplace is an excellent alternative if you're looking to create a fireplace without chimney. If you're looking for something to warm up your living space or add a rustic touch to your guest bedroom, there's a great choice of electric fires to pick from at Direct Fireplaces.

We offer a broad selection of electric fires that are both contemporary and traditional, from leading brands such as Be Modern, Dimplex, and Celsi. All of our products come with a full warranty and financing is available.

With a wide range of sizes and finishes available, you're sure to find the ideal electric fire for your home. We've also got a great assortment of accessories, such as back panels and hearths so you can pick the perfect finishing touch for your fireplace.

Wall-mounted electric fires are becoming popular as a versatile and simple way to add an attractive feature to your home. Installing them is straightforward because they don't require chimneys or flues. However, it's important to read the instructions and have some essential tools on the premises.

Depending on which model you pick, it may be necessary to drill holes in your wall and then install a bracket. Before drilling, it's a great idea to use a stud finder and a spirit level to make sure you're not drilling into something that is crucial.

After you have erected the wall bracket, it is time to put in your fire. It can be done by placing the fire into the firebox and then fitting it onto the bracket, or you may have to fit the firebox and screen together as a complete unit. If you're not confident doing it yourself we suggest hiring an electrician.

Once you're done, you can relax and enjoy your new flame! Remember, always connect your electric fire to an appropriate power socket rather than using an extension cable. This will allow you to ensure the security of your electric fire and prevent future problems with your electrical supply.

Flames

Freestanding electric fires come with a range of flame styles to match your style of interior. Some electric fires use an organic mixture of chemicals that is emitted from one point and lacks the chaotic appearance of log flames made of wood. Others are based on LED technology, which creates Stylish Realistic 3D Flame Modern Electric Fireplace flames and unpredictable. MagikFlame utilizes a brand new technology called Hybrid-FX, which cycles the flames along with the ember bed, accent lighting through a spectrum of colors to create an enthralling experience.

There are a variety of models available with corner-right, left-corner or three-sided bay configurations for even greater flexibility. You can also find single-sided wall-mounted models that can be used as partially or built-in electric fireplaces. These are ideal for a simple and quick installation.

Fuel bed

The fuel bed associated with the floor standing electric fire is the flammable material that surrounds the flames and is responsible for their combustion. The fuel bed could be comprised of a variety materials, like real coals or log effect. It can also be customised to fit your decor. The fuel bed is affected by several factors, including 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 fire spread rates were independent of the depth of the fuel over the threshold of 0.0762m (with a positive correlation below this threshold). This observation is in line with earlier observations from studies on fire in the crib conducted by Catchpole and others, as well as observations from the extensive field of fire behaviour studies of which Rothermel is the most prominent.

However the structure of natural fuel beds in wildland habitats is extremely complex, and their characteristics vary significantly over time and space. Fuel Characteristic Classification System was designed to recognize this variability and identify the potential effects of fuelbeds on fire behavior. FCCS fuelbeds are classified into six strata; shrubs, canopy nonwoody fuels, woody fuels and litter-lichen-moss. The attributes resulting from the Consume 4.2 calculator embedded within the FFT software are useful for mapping fuelbeds and can be used as inputs to models for fire behaviour prediction.

A study of the dimensional structure of each of the six types of fuelbeds was conducted to determine the rate that fire spreads in windy and non-windy weather. This led to the formation of dimensionless groups based on each of the variables: dimensionless spread rate, dimensionless size of fuel particles and moisture content, dimensions dimensionless fuel bed density or loading density, and dimensions dimensionless wind speed. Dimensionless correlations made using the resulting groups correlated the spread rate of fire with wind and non-wind conditions quite easily. However, it is important to remember that these correlations were based on experiments data that covered only a very small portion of the range of natural fuel types that can be found in wildland habitats.
