Floor Standing Electric Fire

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

Certain models come with a remote control that allows you to adjust the settings from a distance. They are CSA certified and safe to use in a room with children.

The following are some examples of

Freestanding electric fireplaces have traditional style that can elevate the look of any room. They are simple to set up and require little space. There are many styles to pick from and most of them feature a black surround to create a stunning appearance. Select a coal, log or pebble effect fuel bed for an authentic experience.

Alternatively, you can go for a built-in electric fireplace which can be integrated into the fireplace mantel. They are a more durable option than wall-mounted units and allow you to place additional storage furniture below the unit, such as sideboard cabinets or credenzas. They come in a variety of finishes to suit any decor and some even have the option of glass panels or a mirror finish to give a more modern appearance.

Electric inserts are the perfect option to improve any interior design without spending a large amount of money. These inserts 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 option for those looking to build a fireplace that doesn't have chimney. If you're looking to warm your living room or to add a touch of home to your guest bedroom, there's an excellent choice of electric fireplaces to choose from at Direct Fireplaces.

We offer a broad selection of electric fires both modern and traditional and from top brands such as Be Modern, Dimplex, and Celsi. All of our products come with a comprehensive warranty and finance is available.

With an extensive range of sizes and finishes You're sure to find the ideal electric fireplace for your home. We also have a wide assortment of accessories, including hearths and back panels so you can personalize your ethanol fireplace freestanding to suit your needs.

Wall-mounted electric fires are becoming increasingly popular as a versatile and simple way to add an attractive feature to your home. As they don't require a chimney or flue, putting them in place them is quite simple but it's essential to follow the manufacturer's guidelines and have a few basic tools at hand.

Depending on the model you pick depending on the model you choose, you may have to drill holes into your wall and then fix a wall bracket into place. Before drilling, it's a good idea to use a stud-finder and a spirit level to make sure you're not drilling into something important.

After you have installed the wall bracket, it's time to put in your fire. You can either put the fire in the firebox, and then attach it to the bracket or you can install the firebox together with the screen as a whole unit. If you're not confident doing this yourself We recommend hiring an electrician.

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

Flames

Freestanding electric fires have a range of flame styles to match your personal style. Some utilize a chemical mix that rises from a single point and lack the chaotic look of real wood log flames, while others are based on the latest LED technology that gives the flames a lifelike motion and unpredictable. MagikFlame utilizes a brand new technology called Hybrid FX, which cycle the flames along with the ember bed, accent lighting through a rainbow of colors to create a dazzling experience.

For even more flexibility There are models available in right-corner, left-corner or three-sided bay configurations to accommodate different configurations. There are also single-sided wall mounted models that work well as partially or built-in electric fireplaces. They are perfect for simple and quick installation.

Fuel bed

The fuel bed is the flammable substance surrounding the flames of a floor-standing electric fire and is responsible for combustion. The fuel bed can be constructed from a variety of materials, including real coals or log effect. It can also be modified to match your design. Several factors influence the shape and size of the fuel bed, including its size, shape and structure, which could significantly impact the combustion of the flames.

Anderson (1964), in a study on pine needle fuel beds, found that fire spread rates were independent of fuel depth above the threshold of 0.0762m (with positive correlation below this threshold depth). This observation was in line with earlier observations from crib fire experiments conducted by Catchpole and others as well as observations from the vast study of fire behaviour of which Rothermel is the most well-known.

However, the structure of natural fuel beds in wildland environments is extremely complex and their characteristics change widely over time and space. To help capture this variability, the Fuel Characteristic Classification System (FCCS) was developed to categorize fuelbeds and identify their potential impacts on fire behavior. FCCS fuelbeds are classified into six strata; canopy, shrubs, nonwoody fuels, woody fuels, and litter-lichen-moss. The attributes compiled by Consume 4.2 included in the FFT software, are helpful for mapping fuelbeds. They can be incorporated into models for fire behaviour predictions.

For each of the six fuelbed types An analysis of dimensionality was carried out to compare the rate of spread of fire under wind and no-wind conditions. This led to the creation of dimensionless groups based on the variables: dimensionless fire spread rate, dimensionless fuel particle sizes and moisture content dimensions dimensionless fuel bed density or fuel loading density and dimensions dimensionless wind speed. The dimensionless correlations that were derived from the groups produced were able to correlate the rate at which fire spread in wind and non-wind conditions fairly reliably. However, it is important to note that these dimensionless correlations were based on experiments data that only covered a small portion of the natural fuel types that are found in wildland environments.
