Wall Mount Electric Fireplaces

Wall mounted electric fireplaces can add a warm and inviting ambiance to your home without the hassle of ash, chimney cleaning, buying, stacking and hauling coal or firewood. They are a safer alternative to traditional fireplaces and do not block the floor or cause injuries to people who walk.

Size

If you like the appearance of a traditional fireplace, but do not have room for a full-sized hearth and chimney, a wall-mounted electric fireplace is a chic alternative. They free up floor space by mounting on a flat surface. They then plug into an electrical outlet for all-year-round use. Most models have a remote control that allows simple switching between on and off. Certain models also feature flame displays as well as decorative embers. These models are available in different sizes and styles.

The majority of wall-mounted electric fireplaces are compact, but you can also find large linear options that extend across the entire length of the wall mount electric fireplace. These are perfect for rooms with low ceilings, and they can create a warm focal point that doesn't take much space.

There are also electric fireplaces that have mantel options that can be positioned on a flat wall similar to a standard wood fireplace. These types of units come with a variety of frame colors, from black and contemporary stainless steel, to stunning mirrored glass. Choose a frame that is compatible with your furniture or wall. Some models come with flat-screen televisions and are a complete entertainment system.

Many people choose to mount their television above their electric fireplace. This is a good idea however, be aware of the rules for clearance between the TV and the electric fireplace. According to most clearance guidelines, all combustibles should be kept at least three feet from the fireplace.

Some of these units can be recessed into a wall to create a custom fit. This type of model may not provide as much heat as a straight-front wall mounted but it is perfect for a custom-designed installation. You can also find Electric Fire For Media Wall fireplaces that are designed to be wall-mounted and mounted against the ceiling.

Some models can be turned off for year-round use without sacrificing the attractive flame effect. Some fireplaces have a no heating setting that only warms up the surrounding area. These are great features for homes with pets and children, since the fireplace does not generate any heat.

Flame Effects

A lot of electric fireplaces feature different flame effects created to look like the look of a real fire. These features are typically paired with an LED background to give a realistic appearance that is easy to blend into different interior design styles. Most models also allow you to alter the color and intensity of the flame according to your mood or the atmosphere of the space.

An alternative to traditional flame effects is a chemical effect that mimics the behavior of a natural gas flame. The units are made up of the use of a chemical liquid that is heated inside the unit in order to create fire. The issue with these types of units is that they are messy and require lots of maintenance.

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

If you prefer a more natural flame, there are wall mount electric fireplaces that offer an authentic log set and a realistic holographic flame projection to create a very life-like appearance. These fireplaces typically have an rust or wood finish that blends well with traditional interior design.

Choosing the right model for your space will depend on the size of the room as well as your personal preferences.

Ventilation

Wall-mounted electric fireplaces can provide many styles and functionality 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 worry about running gas lines through your home. There are a few things to take into consideration when choosing a wall-mounted electric fireplace.

One of the biggest distinctions between freestanding and wall-mounted fireplaces is how they vent. Most wall-mounted units don't have a vent at the back. This is because the majority of the heat gets from the top of the fireplace. It could be dangerous if a fireplace does not have enough venting. It is essential to look up reviews before purchasing the unit.

Flame effects are another major difference between freestanding and wall-mounted fireplaces. While the majority of freestanding fireplaces feature LED screens and rotisserie style lights wall-mounted fireplaces use mist and other technologies to mimic flames and smoke. Dimplex for instance, offers a range of fireplaces that use ultrasonic technology to create the illusion of a burning fire.

Certain wall-mounted electric fire places can be partially recessed into the wall. This lets them be installed in spaces that a traditional fireplace would not. This helps them blend into a wide range of styles for interiors.

The majority of electric fireplaces are designed to be viewed from the front, however there are some that have multi-view. They are typically a bit larger than the single-view versions and permit you to view the flames from several sides of the room.

Installation

Like the name suggests the wall mount electric fireplaces are designed to be fixed onto the wall, often with a bracket for mounting. They are generally easy to install, though the exact procedure will differ between models. Some are fixed to the wall and screwed in, while others may require you to build an enclosure around them prior to placing them on the wall. In either case, be sure to follow the guidelines provided with the fire. Make sure the framed opening size is correct and that you position the unit in accordance with any safety guidelines.

The first step is to find a place that works for your fireplace. Take into consideration the design of the room as well as any existing furniture. It is also important to ensure that the location is near enough to a power outlet, or if you're willing to let an electrician relocate the plug socket (if one already exists) for you.

Once you've found the perfect location to place the fireplace, prepare the space by clearing it, removing any existing furniture and preparing the wall. This may involve taking away any decorations or wallpaper and also locating any studs and marking them using a Stud finder (you'll often be required to have two people hold the fireplace to ensure it's in the right place).

The majority of wall-mounted electric fires include templates for drilling holes. You should use to mark locations on the walls where the brackets will be fixed. After you've marked the locations, drill the holes and then install the rawl plugs. As a rule, the heater, which sits in front of the fireplace, and produces heat, should be at least 400mm from any combustible material, like fabric.

Once the holes have been drilled, you'll need to mount the bracket. Depending on the model, certain models will require that you attach the firebox onto the bracket, whereas others will require you to install the entire fireplace on the bracket prior to installing the screen. In any case, it's essential that you follow the installation instructions exactly to ensure that you don't damage your new appliance. Plug the fireplace in and test it.
