Wall Mount Electric Fireplaces

Wall-mounted electric fireplaces create a warm, welcoming space to your home without the hassle of chimney cleaning, ash or buying, stacking, and hauling coal or firewood. They also provide a safe alternative to traditional fireplaces and aren't a hindrance to floor space or cause a hazard to people as they walk around the room.

Size

If you are a fan of the appearance of a traditional fireplace, but don't have the space for a huge chimney and hearth, a wall mount electric fireplace is a chic alternative. These fireplaces save floor space because they mount on flat surfaces. They can be used all year long by plugging into an electrical outlet. The majority of models have an electronic remote control that allows for simple switching between on and off. Some also feature decorative embers and a flame display that's surprisingly realistic. You can find these models in a range of sizes and designs.

The majority of electric fireplaces mounted on walls are small. However there are large linear options which stretch the length of the wall. They are ideal for rooms with low ceilings. They can create a cozy focal point that doesn't take up lots of space.

There are also electric fireplaces that have a mantel that can be mounted on a flat wall, similar to a standard wood fireplace. These kinds of fireplaces are available in a range of frame colors, from black and contemporary stainless steel to glamorous mirror glass. Choose a frame that matches your wall or existing furniture. Some models come with flat-screen televisions and are a complete entertainment system.

Many people prefer this method by putting their TV on top of their fireplace. This is a great idea but be aware of the rules for clearance between the TV and electric fireplace. According to the majority of 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 the wall for a custom fit. This type of fireplace might not be as efficient like a straight-front wall mount but it is perfect for a bespoke installation. There are also electric fireplaces wall mounted designed to be mounted on walls and hung from the ceiling. These units are best for commercial settings such as a restaurant or hotel lobbies.

A lot of these models come with different settings for heat output that you can adjust depending on the season. Some models can be turned off to use all year round without losing the attractive flame effect. Some also have a no-heat setting which only warms the area surrounding it to provide additional comfort. These are great features for homes with children and pets, since the fireplace does not produce any actual heat and is safe to be touched.

Flame Effects

Electric fireplaces usually feature various flame effects that are designed to mimic real fire. These features are often combined with an LED background to create an appearance that is more realistic and can easily blend in with various interior decor styles. You can also alter the intensity and color of the flame to match your mood or atmosphere of the room.

A chemical-based flame effect is a more conventional option. It mimics the behaviour and appearance of a natural fire. These units use a can of chemical fluid which is heated by an element within the unit to produce the fire. The issue with these kinds of units is that they are messy and require an extensive amount of maintenance.

Plasma fire effects are a great alternative to chemical flames. They are made of small particles which flash and glow, emulating the appearance of the real flame. The problem with this kind of flame simulation is that it can look too fake and might not be as visually appealing as other options.

There are wall-mounted electric fireplaces with realistic log sets and holographic flame projection that create a lifelike appearance. These fireplaces typically have the appearance of rust or wood that works well with traditional interior designs. They can be set in recesses to create an additional appearance that can be incorporated into the various wall designs.

The size of your space and your personal taste will determine the model you select. You should select a larger model for larger rooms so that it can be able to fill the space but not make it appear empty. A compact or mini model is more suitable for smaller spaces. You can also find many surround and frame options for these electric fireplaces to match your decor. Ambiance AL45CLX2-G's wall fireplace is available in several styles that include black metal, stainless steel and the standard black glass. It can be incorporated in the majority of 2x4 walls.

Ventilation

Electric fireplaces that are mounted on the wall can provide design and functionality without the hassle of putting in the fireplace. There is no need to employ an electrician, you don't require a chimney, and you don't need to worry about running gas lines through your home. There are a few things to take into consideration when choosing an electric fireplace for your wall.

The venting system is one the most significant differences between wall-mounted fireplaces as well as freestanding ones. While the majority of freestanding fireplaces have a vent at the back of the unit, some wall-mounted models do not. This is due to the fact that the majority of the heat comes from the top of the fireplace. It can be dangerous if a fireplace doesn't have enough venting. It is important to read reviews prior to purchasing a unit.

Flame effects are another major difference between freestanding and wall-mounted fireplaces. While most freestanding fireplaces have LED screens and rotisserie-style lighting, wall-mounted units use mist and other technologies to simulate smoke and flames. Dimplex for instance, has a fireplace line that uses ultrasonics to create the illusion of fire.

Some wall-mounted electric fireplaces can be recessed partially into the wall, and this allows them to be installed inside tight areas where traditional fireplaces wouldn't fit. This also helps them blend into a broad range of styles for interiors.

Some wall-mounted electric fire places are multi-view, while others are front-view only. 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

As the name implies wall-mounted electric fireplaces are designed to be mounted on the wall, usually using a mounting bracket. The method of installation differs between models, but it is generally simple. Some are connected to the wall and screwed into it some may require you to build an enclosure around them prior to installing them on the wall. In either scenario, it's crucial to follow the directions included with the fire, ensuring that the opening of the frame is sized and positioning the unit in accordance with any safety guidelines.

The first step is to find a place that will work for your fireplace. Consider the design of the room as well as the furniture you have. You should also check 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.

Prepare the space after you've selected a suitable location for your fireplace by clearing the space, removing furniture and getting the walls ready. This may include removing any wallpaper or decorations, as well making sure you mark any studs with the help of a Studfinder.

The brackets that are used for wall-mounted electric fireplaces come with a template to drill holes. You can use this template to mark the location on the wall where they will be installed. After you've marked the positions on the wall, drill the holes. Then, install the rawl plugs. As a rule you'll need to make sure that the heater - which is at the front of the fireplace and produces heat - is at a minimum of 400mm away from any combustible material such as fabrics.

After the holes have been drilled, you'll need to install the mounting bracket. Some models will require that you install the firebox onto the bracket, while others require you to place the fireplace on the bracket before attaching the screen. It is important to follow the instructions for installation precisely to avoid damaging your new appliance. Once the fireplace is in place connect it to the electrical outlet and check it to ensure it's working properly.
