Wall Mount Electric Fireplaces

Size

If you are a fan of the look of a traditional fireplace but don't have space for a large hearth and chimney, a wall mount electric fireplace is a chic alternative. These fireplaces save floor space because they can be mounted on flat surfaces. They can be used all year round by plugging them into an electrical outlet. The majority of models have a remote control that allows for simple on/off operation. Some models also come with flame displays as well as decorative embers. These models are available in various sizes and designs.

The majority of wall-mounted electric fireplaces are compact but you can find large linear options that run across the length of a wall. They are ideal for rooms with low ceilings and can provide a warm focal point that doesn't take up lots of space.

There are also electric fireplaces that have mantel which can be positioned on a flat wall similar to a standard wood fireplace. These units are available in a variety of frame colors ranging from black to stainless steel and mirrored glass. Choose a frame color that is in harmony with your walls or furnishings. Some models also come with flat-screen televisions to create an entertainment center in one.

Many people prefer this method placing their TV over their fireplace. This is a great idea however, you must be aware of the requirements for clearance for both the TV and the electric fireplace. According to the most common clearance guidelines, all combustibles should be kept at least three feet away from the fireplace.

Some of these units can be recessed into a wall to create a custom fit. This kind of fireplace may not generate as much heat as the straight-front wall mounted model, but it is ideal for a bespoke installation. There are also wall-mount electric fireplaces that are specifically designed to be installed against the ceiling. These fireplaces are ideal for commercial spaces like restaurants or hotel lobbies.

A lot of these models come with different settings for heat output that you can adjust according to the season. Certain models can be turned off so that you can use them all year round without losing the appealing flame effect. Certain fireplaces come with a no heat setting that just warms the surrounding area. These are great features for homes with pets and children since the fireplace doesn't generate any heat.

Flame Effects

Many electric fireplaces have different flame effects designed to resemble a real fire. These features are typically coupled with LED backgrounds to create a more realistic look that is easy to blend into various styles of interior decoration. You can also alter the intensity and color of the flame to suit your mood or ambience of the room.

Another option for flame effects is a chemical effect that simulates the behavior of a natural gas flame. The units are made up of the use of a chemical liquid that is heated within the unit in order to produce fire. The issue with these kinds of units is they are messy and require a lot of maintenance.

Another alternative to chemical flames is a plasma blaze effect that is made up of tiny particles that glow and flicker to simulate the look of a real fire. The problem with this kind of simulated flame is that it could appear too fake and may not be as visually appealing as other options.

There are wall mounted electric fire wall mounted fireplaces that have real log sets and holographic flame projections that give a realistic appearance. These units are usually decorated with rust or wood and blend well with traditional interior designs. They can also be positioned in a recess for an enhanced look that can be incorporated into the various wall designs.

Ambiance AL45CLX2-G's wall fireplace is available in a variety of finishes, including stainless steel, black metal and the standard black glass. It can be installed on most 2x4 walls.

Ventilation

Wall mount electric fireplaces provide an abundance of style and function without the hassle of installing an actual fireplace. You don't have to employ an electrician, you don't require a chimney, and you don't have to think about running gas lines through your home. There are some considerations to consider when choosing an electric fireplace that is wall-mounted.

The venting system is one the biggest differences between wall-mounted fireplaces and freestanding ones. Most wall-mounted units don't have a vent in the back. This is because the majority of the heat is absorbed from the top of the fireplace. If the fireplace isn't equipped with enough venting, it could cause a fire risk. This is why it's important to read reviews before buying an appliance.

Another major distinction between freestanding and wall-mounted fireplaces has to do with the flame effects. While the majority of freestanding fireplaces feature LED screens and rotisserie style lights wall-mounted fireplaces employ mist and other technologies to mimic flames and smoke. Dimplex, for example, offers a range of fireplaces that uses ultrasonic technology to create the illusion of a burning fire.

Certain wall-mounted electric fire places can be recessed partially into the wall. This allows them to fit in tight spaces that traditional fireplaces cannot. This helps them blend into a broad range of styles for interiors.

Some electric wall-mounted fire places have multi-view, whereas others are front-view only. They are generally larger than single-view models, and allow you to see the flames from two or more sides.

Installation

Wall-mounted electric fireplaces like the name implies, are designed to be mounted on the wall. They are typically mounted using brackets. They are generally easy to install, although the exact procedure will differ between models. Certain models are fixed to the wall using screws and others require you to build an opening around them. In any case, you must be sure to follow the directions included with the fire. Be sure that the opening size of the frame is correct and position the unit according to any safety guidelines.

The first thing to do is find a location that works for your fireplace. Consider the design of the room and the furniture you have. It's also important to ensure that the area is close to a power outlet, or that you're willing to let an electrician move the plug socket for you (if there's one there already).

Once you've found a good location to place the fireplace, prepare the area by clearing it and removing any furniture and then preparing the wall. This could involve removal of any wallpaper or decoration and finding any studs and marking them using the help of a Stud finder (you'll often be asked to have two people hold the fireplace in place to ensure it's positioned correctly).

The brackets that are used for wall-mounted electric fireplaces come with a template that allows you to drill holes. You can use this template to mark the location on the wall where they will be installed. After you've marked the positions on the wall and then drilled the holes, you can drill them. Then install the rawl plugs. As a rule, the heater, which sits in the middle of the fireplace and generates heat, should be at least 400mm from any combustible material such as fabric.

After drilling the holes, you'll have to attach the bracket for mounting. Certain models will require you mount the firebox onto the bracket, while other models will ask you to mount the fireplace onto the bracket prior to attaching the screen. In any case, it's essential that you adhere to the installation instructions precisely so you don't damage your new appliance. Once the fireplace is installed, plug it in and check it to ensure it's working as intended.
