10 Quick Tips About Electric Fires For Media Wall
The Best Electric Fires For Media Walls
If you're looking to add warmth, ambience and a focal point for your wall of media, then consider an electric fireplace. A majority of electric fires utilize LED lights to create dazzling flame effects, in addition to having a lower heat output than traditional fireplaces.
They also have features such as open window detection and ambient lighting kits that can be synced with your music to create a stunning visual experience.
1. British Fires New Forest 1600
This fireplace is designed to give a mesmerising flame display that spreads across the entire fire. With rich, real-fire colours that capture every aspect of a log found in the New Forest National Park, this centrepiece will certainly transform your home. The logs are made to the highest quality and rest comfortably on top of wood chips and husks that create a warm and earthy atmosphere.
The patented air-curtain technology is designed to distribute heat across your space efficiently. Electric fires are a superior alternative to gas fires that typically require an open chimney to operate. They don't emit carbon monoxide or smoke, and are more sustainable.
An optional black trim, anti-reflective glass front and deluxe real logs are all available to upgrade the look of this amazing fireplace. This electric fire is available in a variety of styles including corner, flush and 3-sided.
This fire is ideal for the media wall. Its compact dimensions permit it to be installed into a mock-up wall that is already constructed. You can also skip the fireplace completely and place directly on the wall with an optional wall mounting kit.
As the name implies, this electric fire is influenced by the natural beauty of the New Forest in Hampshire. The custom-designed logs are meticulously constructed to the highest standards and capture every speck of a log that would be found in the New Forest National Park. The LED flame images are set against a background of wood chips and husks to create a natural woodland scene that is both cozy and modern.
2. Elgin & Hall Pryzm Arteon 3SL
This stunning electric fire with an opening in the wall is designed to be placed on either 1, 2 or three sides straight out of its box. It will captivate you and capture your attention. It's the ideal centrepiece for any media wall, with stunning multi LED effect fuel bed that comes in 13 colours, as well as a rotation setting. Its 1.5kW heater is a subtle device that gives warm, cosy heat. A 7-day programmable thermostat can be used to adjust the flame settings as well as the color of the fuel bed.
The best media wall electric fireplaces are not only beautiful visual delights, but they're also eco-friendly. By limiting their output of heat to only the amount of ambient warmth you need they consume less energy, thereby saving money on your electric bills. The flame-only mode allows you to take pleasure in the hypnotic dancing of the flames, without having to increase the heat. This is ideal for rooms that have little or no requirement for heat.
Inset vs. wall-hung
Inset and wall-mounted media wall electric fireplaces are the two main styles. Inset models, such as the Vision Futura 1500 or the Evonic Halo 1500 XT, are recessed into the wall and provide a flush finish, seamlessly merging into the walls surrounding it to create a neat appearance. However, inset electric fires require an opening already in place and can be a bit more expensive than their free-standing counterparts.
The most effective media wall electric fires are wall-hung, including the Elgin and Hall Pryzm Arteon 3SL. They are simple to install and don't require an opening in the wall because they're not recessed into it. They are more flexible than inset electric fireplaces, with some models featuring an array of trims and finishes to suit your style. However wall-hung models may protrude slightly from the wall, which means they might not be suitable for every room. They also can hinder air circulation in smaller rooms because they tend to spread heat upwards instead of across the room.
3. Vision Futura 1500
A fireplace with electric technology can be the perfect addition to a media wall, creating a mesmerising focal feature that is enjoyable to be seated in front of. These modern fires are brimming with cutting-edge features that will improve the look of your home. They have a flame-effect-only setting which saves energy, and a cooling feature to cool the summer evenings.
A media wall is a dedicated area for your entertainment setup, typically with a sound and TV system but may include gaming consoles or other devices that you frequently use. This is a modern twist on the old entertainment centres and can give a sleek, organized aesthetic while freeing up space in the room.
Modern electric fires can be positioned on the wall, and based on the design, they can be freestanding or inset. Inset fires are designed to be inserted into a fireplace opening making it simpler to install and look more unified with your living spaces. Freestanding fires such as the Gallery Collection Hopton and Dimplex Danville are ideal for those who don't have a fireplace recess and can be moved from room to room for flexibility.
No matter what method of installation you select, always ensure the fire is located close to a power socket to allow you to connect it and test all functions prior to fitting. You'll also want to locate the fire away from any combustible substances, as per the regulations.
Remember that most electric fireplaces designed for media wall have a limited output of heat, and are best utilized to complement your central heating system. They're not suitable for heating large spaces that are open and will help to cool a chilly room. Some models include a handy remote control with a variety of different settings for heating and backlighting to match your mood and atmosphere.
4. Evonic Halo 1500 XT
Media wall electric fireplaces are a great alternative for those who have little space. These fires are powered with electricity, so you don't have to worry about gas lines or lugging in logs. You can manage them from the comfort of your sofa. Often, they produce just enough warmth to ease the chill of the cold and make it more cozy.
They are available in different sizes, so you can select the one that best suits your media wall. Some models can be mounted directly on the wall, while others are designed to fit into the recess or cavity. Inset models tend to offer better heat distribution because they aren't blocked by the chimney.
If you choose a front-mounted Evonic Halo 1500 XT model (formerly Lita), it has an extended flame image to add visual depth and boost its aesthetic appeal. The range's smart integration is another plus that lets you control the fire from your smartphone or tablet using an app. This is beneficial if you're out and about or away from home, helping to save energy when the fire isn't being used.
