Wall Mount Electric Fireplaces

Wall mounted electric fireplaces add an inviting, warm space to your home without the hassles of chimney cleaning, ash or purchasing stacking, hauling, or storing coal or firewood. They also offer a safer alternative to traditional fireplaces and do not obstruct floor space or trip people up as they walk around the room.

Size

If you are a fan of the look of a traditional fireplace, but don't have space for a large chimney and hearth, a wall mount electric fireplace offers a stylish alternative. These fireplaces save floor space because they can be mounted on an even surface. They can be used all year round by plugging into an electrical outlet. Most models have a remote control that allows for simple switching between on and off. Some also feature decorative embers and a flame display that is surprisingly realistic. These models are available in a wide range of styles and sizes.

The majority of electric fireplaces mounted on walls are slim. However there are large linear options that extend across the length of the wall. They are ideal for rooms with low ceilings and they can create a cozy focal piece that doesn't require much space.

There are also electric fireplaces with mantel which can be positioned on a flat wall like a traditional wood fireplace. These types of fireplaces come in a variety of frame colors, from black and contemporary stainless steel to stunning mirrored glass. Choose a frame colour that complements your decor or wall. Some models come with a flat-screen television and are a complete entertainment system.

Many people opt to put their television above their electric fireplace. This is a great idea, but be aware of the rules for clearance between the TV and electric fireplace. According to most clearance guidelines, all combustibles must be kept at least three feet away from the fireplace.

Some of these models are designed to be recessed into walls to create a custom fit. This type of model may not be as efficient as a straight-front wall mounted but it is perfect for a bespoke installation. You can also find white electric fire wall mounted fireplaces that are mounted on the wall and then hung against the ceiling. These types of fireplaces are ideal for a commercial setting such as a restaurant or hotel lobbies.

A lot of these models come with different settings for heat output that you can adjust in accordance with the season. Some can be turned off all year round, without losing the attractive flame effect. Certain fireplaces come with a no heating setting that only warms the surrounding area. These types of features are perfect for homes with children and pets, since the fireplace doesn't produce any heat and is safe to be touched.

Flame Effects

Electric fireplaces usually come with different flame effects that are designed to mimic real fire. These features are often combined together with an LED backdrop to create a realistic appearance that can easily be blended in with different interior decor styles. You can also alter the color and intensity of the flame according to your mood or mood of the room.

A chemical-based flame effect is a more traditional option. It mimics the behavior and appearance of natural fire. These units make use of the use of a chemical liquid which is heated inside the unit in order to produce fire. The issue with these kinds of units is that they can be messy and require an extensive amount of maintenance.

Plasma flame effects are a viable alternative to chemical flames. They are made of small particles which glow and flicker, simulating the appearance of an actual flame. The problem with this type of simulated flame is that it could appear too fake and might not be as visually appealing as other options.

For those who prefer a more natural looking flame, there are wall mount electric fireplaces that offer an authentic log set and a realistic looking holographic flame projection to create an appearance that is very realistic. These fireplaces are usually decorated with rust or wood, which blends perfectly with traditional interior designs. They can also be installed in a recess for an enhanced look that can be incorporated into various wall designs.

The best model to fit your space will depend on the dimensions of the room as well as your personal preferences. You should select an extra large model for larger rooms so that it can fill the space but not make it appear empty. A smaller or compact model is ideal for smaller spaces. You can also choose from many surround and frame options for these fireplaces to suit your home decor. For example, the AL45CLX2-G wall-mount electric fireplace from Ambiance is available in a number of different finishes like flat black metal and a standard black glass that can fit into most 2x4 walls.

Ventilation

Wall mount electric fireplaces provide a lot of style and functionality without the hassle of installing an actual fireplace. There is no need to hire an electrician, you don't require chimneys and you don't have to think about running gas lines through your home. There are some considerations to make when selecting an electric fireplace that is wall-mounted.

One of the main distinctions between freestanding and wall-mounted fireplaces is how they vent. While most freestanding units have a vent at the back of the unit, many wall-mounted models do not. This is because most of the heat is emitted from the top of the fireplace. It could be dangerous if a fireplace doesn't have enough venting. This is the reason it's essential to read reviews before buying the unit.

Another big distinction between freestanding and wall-mounted fireplaces is the flame effects. While freestanding fireplaces are equipped with LED screens and rotisserie lights wall-mounted models utilize mist or other advanced technology to create smoke and flames. Dimplex, for example, has a line of fireplaces that uses ultrasonic technology to create the illusion of a fire.

Certain wall-mounted electric fire places can be partially recessed into the wall mounted fireplaces. This allows them to fit into tight spaces where a traditional fireplace would not. This helps them blend into a wide range of styles for interiors.

Some electric wall-mounted fire places are multi-view, whereas others are front-view only. These are usually a little bigger than their single-view counterparts and allow you to see the flames from several sides of the room.

Installation

Wall mount electric fireplaces, like the name implies, are designed to be installed on the wall unit fireplace. They are often installed using a bracket. The process of installation varies among models, but is generally simple. Some models are attached to the wall mounted led fireplace with screws, while others require an opening around them. In either case, it's important to follow the guidelines that come with the fire, ensuring that the framed opening is correctly sized and positioning the unit according to any safety guidelines.

The first step is to find an appropriate spot for the fireplace, based on the room design and the furniture you have. It's also worth checking if the location is close to a power outlet or that you're willing to let an electrician move plug sockets for you (if there's one there already).

Prepare the space once you've decided on a suitable location for the fireplace by clearing the area, taking away furniture and preparing the walls. This could include taking away any decorations or wallpaper in addition to locating and marking any studs you can with a studfinder.

The majority of wall-mounted electric fireplaces come with an outline for drilling holes, which you must use to mark the areas on the walls where the brackets will be fixed. Once you've marked the positions you can drill the holes and install the rawl plugs. As a general rule, you'll need to ensure the heater - which sits in front of the fireplace and generates heat - is at least 400mm away from any combustible material like fabrics.

Once the holes are drilled, you'll need to install the mounting bracket. Some models will require that you place the firebox on the bracket while others will ask you to put the fireplace onto the bracket prior to attaching the screen. In any case, it's crucial that you follow the installation instructions exactly to ensure that you don't damage your new appliance. Plug the fireplace in and test it.
