Floor Standing Electric Fire

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

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

Features

Electric fires that stand by themselves can bring a classic style to any room. They are small in size and are easily installed. There are a variety of styles to pick from, with the majority featuring an all-black surround to create a stunning effect. Choose a log or coal effect fuel bed to add to the authentic look or go for a coloured pebble effect to spice things up.

Alternately, you can opt for a built-in electric fire that can be integrated into the fireplace mantel. They are a much more durable alternative to wall-mounted units. They also allow you to place additional storage furniture below the unit, such as sideboard cabinets or credenzas. They are available in various finishes that will suit any decor. Some come with a glass or mirrored panel for a modern appearance.

It is designed to fit in with your fireplace, an electric insert is the ideal way to improve your interior design without spending too much money. They are also an energy-efficient way to heat your home, as they don't require a chimney or vents. Instead they plug directly into the wall and produce up to 4700 BTUs of heat.

Installation

A freestanding electric fireplace is a great alternative if you're looking to build a fireplace that doesn't have a chimney. If you're looking to warm up your living space or to add a touch of home to your guest bedroom, there's a wide selection of electric fires to choose from at Direct Fireplaces.

We offer a range of contemporary and traditional electric fires from top brands such as Be Modern, Dimplex and Celsi. All of our products come with a full warranty, and financing is available.

With an extensive range of sizes and finishes available you're bound 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 accessories for your Bioethanol fireplace Freestanding.

Wall-mounted electric fires are becoming increasingly popular as a flexible and easy method of adding an attractive accent to your home. Because they don't require chimney or flue, installing them is fairly straightforward however, it is important to follow the manufacturer's guidelines and have a few basic tools at hand.

Depending on the model you choose depending on the model you choose, you may have to drill holes into your wall and fix the wall bracket in place. It is a good idea to make use of a spirit level as well as an stud finder prior to drilling to ensure you're not drilling into anything that could be of importance.

Once you have the wall bracket installed now is the time to put in your fire. You can either put the fire in the box and then connect it to the bracket or you can install the firebox with the screen as a complete unit. If you're not confident doing this by yourself, we'd recommend getting an electrician to complete the task for you.

Enjoy your new fire when you're done! Always connect your electric fireplace to a dedicated socket, rather than using an extension cord. This will allow you to ensure the safety of your electric fire and prevent future problems with your electrical supply.

Flames

bioethanol freestanding fires electric fires come with various flame options to fit your personal style. Some use a chemical mix that rises from a point and lack the chaotic appearance of real wood log flames, while others are based on cutting-edge LED technology which gives the flames lifelike movement and unpredictability. MagikFlame makes use of a new invention called Hybrid FX, which cycle the flames as well as the ember bed and accent lighting through a spectrum of colors to create an enthralling experience.

Many models are available with left-corner, corner-right or three-sided bays for even greater flexibility. There are also wall-mounted models that are single-sided and work well as electric fireplaces that are partially or completely recessible. These are great for quick and simple installation.

Fuel bed

The fuel bed associated with the floor standing electric fire is the material that is flammable that surrounds the flames and is responsible for their combustion. The fuel bed could be constructed from a variety of materials, including log effect or real coals. It can also be customised to complement your decor. Several factors influence the fuel bed such as its shape, size and structure, which can greatly affect the combustion of the flames.

Anderson (1964), in a study on pine needle fuel beds, observed that the spread of fire was independent of fuel depth over the threshold of 0.0762m (with a positive correlation below this threshold depth). This observation was in agreement with earlier observations made by Catchpole and other researchers, and also observations from the vast field of fire behavior studies that Rothermel is the director of.

The structure of the fuel beds in wildland areas is a complex system and their characteristics change over time and location. In an effort to recognize this variation the Fuel Characteristic Classification System (FCCS) was developed to categorize fuelbeds and determine the potential impact they have on fire behavior. Fuelbeds classified by FCCS are divided into six strata that include: shrubs, canopy, nonwoody fuels woody fuels litter-lichen-moss. The attributes compiled by Consume 4.2 which is embedded in the FFT software, are useful for mapping fuelbeds. They can be incorporated into models for fire behaviour predictions.

For each of the six types A dimensional analysis was conducted to determine the rate of spread of fire under wind and non-wind conditions. This led to the formation of dimensionless groups based on the variables: dimensionless fire spread rate, dimensionless fuel particle sizes and moisture content dimensions dimensionless fuel bed density or loading density and dimensions dimensionless wind speed. The dimensionless correlations based upon the groups created were able to correlate the rate of spread of fire in wind and non-wind conditions fairly reliably. However, it is important to note that these dimensionless correlations were based upon experimental data that only covered a very small portion of the natural fuel types that can be found in wildland environments.
