Flame Effects

Electric fireplaces typically come with various flame effects that are designed to replicate real fire.

The majority of models permit you to alter the color and intensity of the flame to suit your mood or the ambience of the space.

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

Another alternative to chemical flames is the plasma blaze effect, which is made up of tiny particles that flicker and glow to mimic the appearance of a real fire. The problem with this type of flame simulation is that it can look too fake and may not be as appealing visually as other options.

If you prefer a more natural flame there are wall mounted electric fireplaces that feature realistic log sets and a realistic looking holographic flame projection to create an appearance that is very realistic. They are typically decorated with rust or wood and blend well with traditional interior designs.

Ventilation

Wall mount electric fireplaces provide many styles and function without the hassle of installing an actual fireplace. There is no need to engage an electrician or fret about the gas lines running through your home. There are a few considerations to make when selecting a wall-mounted electric fireplace.

One of the biggest differences between freestanding and wall-mounted fireplaces is how they vent. Many wall-mounted units do not 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. If the unit doesn't have enough venting, it can cause a fire risk. This is why it's important to read reviews before purchasing the unit.

Another major distinction between freestanding and wall-mounted fireplaces has to do with the effects of flames. While freestanding fireplaces are equipped with LED screens and rotisserie lights wall-mounted models employ mist or other modern technology to mimic smoke and flames. Dimplex for instance, has a line of fireplaces that utilize ultrasonics to create the illusion of fire.

Certain wall-mounted electric wall fires fire places can be recessed partially into the wall. This allows them to be installed in spaces that traditional fireplaces cannot. This also helps them blend into a broad range of styles for interiors.

Some electric wall-mounted fire places feature multi-view while others are only front-view. They tend to be larger than single-view models and permit you to see the flames from two or more sides.

Installation

Wall mount electric fireplaces, like the name implies, are designed to be installed on the wall mounting fireplace. They are usually mounted with brackets. They are usually fairly simple to install, although the precise process will vary between models. Some models are anchored to the wall using screws, while others require an opening around them. In any case, it's important to carefully follow the instructions included with the fire, ensuring that the opening in the frame is sized and positioning the unit according to any safety guidelines.

The first step is to choose the best location for your fireplace, taking into consideration the room design and any furniture you own. It's also worth checking that the area is close to a power source or you're willing to let an electrician move a plug socket for you (if there's one there already).

Once you've found the perfect place to position the fireplace, prepare the area by clearing it, removing any existing furniture and preparing the walls. This may include removing any wallpaper or decorations in addition to finding and marking any studs using the help of a studfinder.

Most wall-mounted electric fireplace for the wall fires will come with a template for drilling holes. This template must use to mark the areas on the walls where brackets are to be positioned. After you've marked the positions on the wall, drill the holes. Then install the rawl plugs. As a rule the heater, which is situated in the front of the fireplace and produces heat, must be at least 400mm from any combustible materials, such as fabric.

Once the holes are made, you'll need to fit the mounting bracket. Some models will require that you install the firebox onto the bracket, while other models will ask you to mount the fireplace on the bracket before attaching the screen. In any case, it's essential that you follow the installation instructions exactly so you don't damage your new appliance. Connect the fireplace to test it.
