Wall Mount Electric Fireplaces Wall-mounted electric fireplaces provide a warm, inviting space to your home without the hassles of chimney cleaning, ash or purchasing stacking, hauling, or storing coal or firewood. They are more secure than traditional fireplaces and do not block the floor or trip people as they walk. Size If you are a fan of the look of a traditional fireplace, but don't have the space for a huge chimney and hearth, a wall mounted electric fireplace can be a stylish alternative. These units save floor space because they mount on a flat surface. They can be used all year round by plugging them into an electrical outlet. Most models come with an electronic remote control that allows for simple switch-off and on. Some models also come with flame displays as well as decorative embers. These models are available in different sizes and styles. The majority of wall-mounted electric fireplaces are compact, but you can also find large linear options that stretch across the length of a wall. They are ideal for rooms with low ceilings and can create a cozy focal point that doesn't take up lots of space. Electric fireplaces can also be erected on flat walls, just as a wood fireplace. They come in a variety of frame colors, ranging from black to mirror glass and stainless steel. Pick a frame color that is compatible with your existing furniture or wall. Some models come with flat-screen TVs, making them an entertainment system in one. 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. The majority of clearance guidelines recommend keeping all combustible items at least three feet away from the fireplace. Some of these units can be recessed into walls to create a custom fit. This kind of fireplace may not produce as much heat as the straight-front wall mounted models, but it's perfect for a custom installation. You can also find electric fireplaces that are wall-mounted and mounted against the ceiling. These units are best for commercial settings such as a restaurant or hotel lobbies. Many of these models offer different heat output settings that you can adjust according to the season. Certain models can be turned off to use all year round, without losing the attractive flame effect. Some have a no-heat setting which only warms the area around it to provide additional comfort. These types of features are perfect for homes with children and pets, since the fireplace doesn't produce any actual heat and is safe to touch. Flame Effects Electric fireplaces usually feature various flame effects that are designed to replicate real fire. These features are usually coupled with LED backgrounds to create an appearance that is more realistic and is easy to blend into various styles of interior decoration. Most models also permit you to alter the intensity and color of the flame to match your mood or the overall atmosphere of the space. A chemical-based flame effect is a better alternative. It mimics the behaviour and appearance of natural fire. These units use a can of chemical liquid that is heated within the unit to produce 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 up of tiny particles that flash and glow, emulating the appearance of a real flame. This kind of simulated flame could look fake and is not as appealing as other alternatives. There are wall mounted electric fireplaces with real log sets and holographic flame projections that give a realistic appearance. These units are usually coated in rust or wood and blend well with traditional interior designs. They can also be positioned in recesses to create an individualized look that can be incorporated into a variety of wall designs. The size of your space and your personal taste will determine the type of model you pick. For larger rooms, you will prefer a larger model that can fill the space and avoid making it appear empty. A compact or mini model is better suited to smaller rooms. There is also a wide range of frames and surrounds for these fireplaces to fit your decor. Ambiance AL45CLX2-G's wall fireplace is available in various styles such as black metal, stainless steel and the standard black glass. It can be mounted on most 2x4 walls. Ventilation Wall-mounted electric fireplaces can provide many styles and functionality without the hassle of installing an actual fireplace. There is no need to employ an electrician, you don't need a chimney and you don't need to worry about running gas lines through your home. There are a few things to make when selecting a wall-mounted electric fireplace. One of the biggest distinctions between freestanding and wall-mounted fireplaces is the way they vent. Most wall-mounted units don't have a vent at the back. 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 does not have enough venting. This is the reason it's essential to read reviews prior to purchasing a unit. Another big difference between freestanding and wall-mounted fireplaces is the effects of flames. While freestanding fireplaces are equipped with LED screens and rotisserie lighting wall-mounted models utilize mist or other modern technology to mimic smoke and flames. Dimplex is one example. Dimplex has a fireplace line that uses ultrasonics to create the illusion of fire. Some wall-mounted electric fireplaces are able to be recessed partially into the wall. This allows them to be installed within tight areas where traditional fireplaces wouldn't be able to fit. This also helps them blend into a broad variety of interior styles. The majority of electric fireplaces are designed to be seen from the front, but there are some that offer multi-view. These are usually a little bit larger than single-view models and allow you to see the flames from several sides of the room. Installation As the name suggests wall-mounted electric fireplaces are designed to be fixed onto the wall, often using a mounting bracket. These are generally fairly easy to install, although the precise process will vary between models. Some are connected to the wall and screwed in some may require you to build an enclosure around them prior to placing them on the wall. In any scenario, it's crucial to carefully follow the instructions that come with the fire, ensuring that the opening of the frame is measured and positioned in accordance with any safety guidelines. The first step is to locate a suitable location for the fireplace, based on the design of the room and the furniture you have. Also, make sure whether the location is close enough to a power source, or if you are willing to let an electrical contractor move the plug socket (if one is already in place) for you. Prepare the room after you've selected a suitable place for the fireplace by clearing the area, removing existing furniture, and preparing the walls. This could include taking away any decorations or wallpaper, as well finding and marking any studs using a Studfinder. The brackets that are used for electric fireplaces that are wall-mounted come with a template for drilling holes. You can use this template to mark the location on the wall where they will be mounted. After you've marked the locations you can drill the holes and install the rawl plugs. As a rule it is essential to ensure that the heater – which sits at the front of the fireplace and produces heat – is located at least 400mm away from any combustible substances such as fabrics. After the holes have been made, you'll need to mount the bracket. Some models require that you place the firebox on the bracket, while others ask you to mount the fireplace onto the bracket before you attach the screen. It is important to follow the instructions for installation exactly in order to ensure that your new appliance is not damaged. Once the fireplace is installed plug it in and test it to make sure it's working as intended.
