How to Choose the Right Height for an on the Wall Fireplace
A on the wall fireplace can be a chic feature for any living room. It can be placed over the couch or the sitting area to create a warm and cozy environment for your family and guests.
Some models can be integrated into the wall to create a built-in appearance. This will require more work and some DIYers may need to venture outside their comfort zones.
Height
When installing a wall for a media, choosing the proper size of the fireplace is a crucial decision. While the fireplace should be low enough to be easily observed from all places of seating, it should also be high enough to generate enough heat for an ambiance that is comfortable for the living space.
When deciding on the height of a wall-mounted fireplace, it is important to take into consideration the quantity of heat it creates and how close to the floor it will be and what else may be mounted over it. If a gas or electrical fireplace is too low, the heat it emits will be dissipated quickly and combustible items could easily ignite. This could result in an explosion in the house and the performance of the fireplace will be significantly diminished.
To avoid this, pick a fireplace with a low opening for the fireplace or a chimney venting system that is high. This will ensure that the heat is dissipated safely and efficiently.
Another factor to consider is the purpose for which the room is used for. If the room is used primarily to relax, socialising or watching television, a taller fireplace would be a good option. However, if it is intended to be utilized as an additional source of heating it is suggested that a lower-end fireplace be more appropriate.
Most people prefer to mount the fireplace at eye level when they sit in chairs. This is about 40-42 inches above the floor. Some people place their fireplaces under a TV, and this can also be done, as long as the television is not too close to it or suffer from the heat.
It is also important to think about the type of fireplace you own and the storage required above it. If you have an electric fireplace, it may be beneficial to put a credenza or sideboard cabinet above the fireplace to keep the surface clear. This can create a a more spacious and streamlined look and can make the fireplace appear bigger as well.
Installation
A fireplace that is mounted on the wall is a fantastic addition to a media wall. It is ideal for homeowners who want a more sleek appearance that is more in line with the wall structure of the media. It's also less complicated and quicker to install than a fireplace that is integrated.
Begin by selecting a place that allows you to move easily around the fireplace. Also, make sure that there aren't any burning items in the vicinity. Then, take a measurement of the length of your wall and ensure that it's wide enough to hold the fireplace which is at least 40-42" in height. It's also an ideal idea to have someone help you in putting up your fireplace, because it's a heavy thing to install.
Depending on the model of fireplace that you choose it could need to be attached directly to a stud wall or attached to a bracket that is installed on the wall. The owner's manual will provide instructions on how to install a direct-to wall model. If you're installing a bracket-mounted model, attach the mounting bracket using toggle bolt anchors and screws. Utilize a stud-finder for locating the screw locations.
Once the bracket is in place, attach the fireplace using the tabs at the lower part of your fireplace, and the hooks on the top of the bracket. Follow the directions in the owner's manual, when your model has a front-glass panel that has to be removed prior to installation.
First, you'll need to put the frame of your electric fireplace on the spot you have designated on the wall. Then, it can be hung from the bracket. After you've completed this step, you can either use a drill to make holes for the mounting bracket or sand any rough spots on the wall.
After you've drilled the holes, you can insert rawl plugs, and then screw in the mounting bracket. Certain models of wall-mounted fireplaces include hooks or slots on the back, so you can simply put the hooks on the back of the fireplace into slots on the mounting bracket.
Safety
The good news is that both ethanol and electric wall fireplaces are safe to use provided that the appropriate safety measures are in place. Regular inspections are necessary to ensure that the fireplace is in good condition and shows no signs of wear. Keep the fireplace away from any flammable materials like furniture, carpets or even paper. If you have children, ensure that they are taught not to touch the flames and keep them away from the fireplace at all times. Be sure to turn off the fireplace when you go to bed or leave the house.
When installing an on the wall fireplace, it is crucial to follow all the manufacturer's guidelines. It is important to be aware of the dimensions as well as the weight requirements and the clearance zone for heat. Check the areas of heat in the TV and fireplace when you are planning to put a television over the fireplace. The weight of the television could put pressure on the fireplace, which could cause it to collapse, possibly causing injury your family members or you.
Electric and ethanol wall fireplace places can generate a lot of heat that can burn you. If you have young children, consider putting a safe-to-touch screen on your fireplace to prevent your hands from burning. The screen is at a lower temperature when the fireplace is on and won't burn anyone who touches it.
To stop sparks from accidentally igniting flammable objects, such as books and toys avoid them from the fireplace. In addition, it is important to regularly clean your fireplace to remove any accumulation of ash or soot. This will decrease the chance of an fire.
One of the most common errors that people make when installing an wall fireplace is failing to check that the fireplace is shut off before going to sleep or leave the house. This is a grave error that could lead to electrical malfunctions or even fires.
Style
A wall-mounted fireplace is one of the most sought-after elements to be added to a media wall. It's usually placed beneath a flat-screen TV and it is essential that the fireplace meet certain installation requirements. It is essential to think about not just the size of the fireplace, but also how much heat it generates. A fireplace that is erected on the wall will typically emit heat from the vent at the front, whereas the fireplace that is surface mounted might emit heat from the top or bottom. For media walls it is a common practice to install a fireplace that is recessed at a height of 40-42 inches above the floor. This allows you to view it from a sitting position.
It is possible to find wall-mounted [electric fires](https://www.fireplacesandstoves.uk/) with a variety of styles. However, it is best to match the style with the overall design of the room. This will help ensure that the entire media wall is in harmony and flows seamlessly. Amantii, Dimplex and other companies provide a range of electric wall-mounted fire places. Both brands have a reputation for quality, and they are quick to respond to customer feedback to improve their products.
A media wall can be constructed to accommodate TVs, or other electronic devices. Some people prefer to use a recessed fireplace for an entertainment center, whereas others might prefer an amalgamation of television and a wall-mounted fireplace. Selecting a wall that is able to accommodate both will be simpler and more efficient.
The biggest drawback of wall-mounted electric fireplaces is that they appear more permanent. Although it is possible to move the fireplace from one location to another, it will require the removal of brackets for mounting. If the fireplace is in a stud, it will be difficult to mount a TV or other components.
