Wall Mount Electric Fireplaces

Wall-mounted electric fireplaces provide an inviting, warm atmosphere to your home, without the hassle of ash, chimney cleaning or buying stacking, hauling, or storing coal or firewood. They also provide a secure alternative to traditional fireplaces and aren't a hindrance to floor space or trip people up when they move through the room.

Size

A wall-mounted electric fireplace is an elegant option if like the look of a fireplace but do not have enough space for a hearth and chimney. These fireplaces free up the floor space by being mounted on a flat surface and plug into an electrical outlet to allow for year-round use. The majority of models come with a remote control that allows for simple on/off operation. Some models also come with decorative embers and a flame display that's surprisingly realistic. These models are available in a variety of designs and sizes.

The majority of wall-mounted electric fireplaces are small. However there are plenty of linear options that span across the length of the wall. These are perfect for rooms with low ceilings, and they can create a cozy focal piece that doesn't require much space.

Electric fireplaces can also be erected on flat walls, much like a wood fireplace. These units are available in frames in a variety of colors that range from black to mirror glass and stainless steel. Choose a frame that coordinates with your furniture or wall. Some models come with a flat-screen television, making them a complete entertainment system.

Many people opt to put their television above their electric fireplace. This is a great idea however, you must be aware of the required clearances for both the TV and the electric fireplace. According to the majority of clearance guidelines, all combustibles should be kept at least three feet away from the fireplace.

Some of these units are designed to be recessed into walls for a custom fit. This type of model may not have the same amount of heat as a straight-front wall mount but is ideal for a bespoke installation. There are also electric wall mount fireplace fireplaces that are designed to be mounted on walls and hung from the ceiling. These units are ideal for commercial settings like restaurants or hotel lobbies.

Many of these models have different settings for the heat output that you can alter according to the time of year. Some models can be turned off to use all year long without losing the attractive flame effect. Some models also have a non-heat setting that just warms the area around it for extra comfort. These are great features for homes with pets or children, since the fireplace does not generate any heat.

Flame Effects

Many electric fireplaces come with various flame effects that are created to look like a real fire. These features are usually coupled with LED backgrounds to give a more realistic look that can easily blend in with different styles of interior decor. Most models also permit you to alter the flame color and intensity to match your mood or the overall atmosphere of the room.

Another option for flame effects is to use a chemical effect that mimics the behavior of a natural gas flame. They use a can of chemical fluid which is heated by an element within the unit to create the flame. The problem with these types of units is they are messy and require lots of maintenance.

An alternative to chemical flames is a plasma blaze effect that is made up of small particles that flicker and glow to simulate the look of an actual fire. The issue with this kind of simulated flame is that it can look too fake and could not be as visually appealing as other options.

For those who prefer a more natural looking flame, there are wall mount electric fireplaces that come with an authentic log set and a realistic looking flame projection that is holographic to give an extremely realistic appearance. These fireplaces typically have an rust or wood finish that is a good match for traditional interior designs. They can be positioned in a recess for a more customized look that can blend with the various wall designs.

Choosing the right model for your space will be based on the size of the room and your personal preference. For larger rooms, you will want to choose a bigger model that can fill the space and avoid making it seem empty. If you're installing the fireplace in a smaller space small or compact models is the better option. You can also find a wide range of frames and surrounds for these fireplaces to match your decor. Ambiance AL45CLX2-G's electric wall fireplace comes in a variety of finishes such as black metal, stainless steel, and standard black glass. It can be mounted on most 2x4 walls.

Ventilation

Wall mount electric fireplaces provide an abundance of style and function without the difficulty of installing an actual fireplace. You don't need to hire an electrician, you don't need a chimney, and you don't have to think about running gas lines through your home. There are a few things to consider when choosing a wall-mounted electric fireplace.

The venting system is one the most significant differences between wall-mounted fireplaces and freestanding ones. While the majority of freestanding fireplaces have a vent at the back of the unit, many wall-mounted models don't. This is due to the fact that most of the heat is emitted from the top of the fireplace. It can be dangerous if a fireplace is not vented properly. It is important to read reviews before buying the unit.

Another major difference between freestanding and wall-mounted fireplaces has to do with the effects of flames. Freestanding fireplaces are outfitted with LED screens and rotisserie lights, wall-mounted models use mist or other advanced technology to mimic smoke and flames. Dimplex for instance, offers a range of fireplaces that uses ultrasonic technology to create the illusion of a fire.

Certain wall-mounted electric fireplaces can be recessed in a part of the wall, and this allows them to be installed within tight spaces where a traditional fireplace would not be able to be able to fit. This allows them to blend with a variety of interior styles.

Most wall-mounted electric fireplaces are designed to be viewed from the front, however there are some that have multi-view. These are usually a little bit larger than the single-view versions and permit you to view the flames from several sides of the room.

Installation

As the name implies the wall mount electric fireplaces are designed to be hung onto the wall, often with a bracket for mounting. They are usually fairly simple to install, but the procedure for installation will differ between models. Certain models are fixed to the wall using screws, while others require you to build an opening around them. In either case, you should be sure to follow the guidelines that come with the fire. Be sure that the opening size of the frame is correct and that you position the unit according to any safety guidelines.

The first step is to find the best location for your fireplace, taking into account the style of the room as well as any furniture you have. It's also worth checking that the location is close enough to a power socket or you're willing to let an electrician move plug sockets for you (if there's one already).

After you've located a suitable place to position the fireplace, you must prepare the area by clearing it away and removing any furniture and preparing the walls. This could mean removal of any decorations or wallpaper and the location of any studs, and marking them using an stud finder (you'll often be required to have two people hold the fireplace to ensure it's positioned correctly).

The majority of wall-mounted electric fires have a template for drilling holes. You must use to mark the areas on the walls where the brackets are to be fixed. After marking the locations on the wall and drilled the holes. Then install the rawl plugs. As a rule, the heater, which is placed in front of the fireplace, and generates heat, should be at least 400mm away from any combustible material, such as fabric.

After the holes have been drilled, you'll need to fit the mounting bracket. The model you choose will determine the mounting bracket. certain models will require you to attach the firebox to the bracket, whereas others will require you to place the entire fireplace onto the bracket prior to installing the screen. In any case, it's essential that you adhere to the installation instructions precisely to avoid damaging your new appliance. Connect the fireplace to test it.
