Inset vs wall-hung
Media wall electric fires are available in two main styles: wall-mounted and inset. Inset models such as the Vision Futura 1500 and the Evonic Halo 1500 XT are recessed into a wall, offering a flush finish that blends seamlessly with the surrounding walls. Inset electric fireplaces can be more expensive and require an opening already in place.
The best media wall electric fires are wall-hung, like the Elgin & Hall Pryzm Arteon 3SL. They are simple to install and don't require an existing opening in the wall since they don't have to be recessed into the wall. They are more flexible than inset electric fires with some models featuring an array of finishes and trims to match your decor. Wall-mounted models still stand out from the wall and may not work for all styles of rooms. They can also restrict the flow of air in smaller spaces because they'll likely spread heat upwards instead of across the space.
3. Vision Futura 1500
A fireplace with electric technology can be the perfect finishing touch to a wall with media that creates a stunning focal point that is a pleasure to sit in front of. Modern fires are packed with innovative features that will make your home more attractive. They come with a flame-effect only setting which saves energy, and a cooling option for summer nights.
A media wall is a dedicated space to your entertainment system, usually with a sound and TV system, but it could also include gaming consoles and other devices that you regularly use. This is a modern twist on the old entertainment centers and can give a sleek, organized aesthetic while allowing space to be freed up in the room.
Most modern electric fireplaces for media walls are affixed to the wall and can be either freestanding or inset depending on the style you select. Inset fires are designed to be inserted into a fireplace opening which makes it much easier to install and look more integrated in your living spaces. Freestanding fires such as the Gallery Collection Hopton and Dimplex Danville are ideal for those who do not have fireplace recesses and can be moved between rooms for flexibility.
Whatever method of installation you choose, make sure the fire is close to a power socket to allow you to connect it and test the functions prior to fitting. According to the regulations, you'll want to keep the fire away from flammable materials.
Remember that the majority of electric fireplaces for wall use have a limited output of heat and should be used in conjunction with your central heating system. They are not suitable to heat large open spaces, and are able to only warm up rooms. fireplacesandstovesuk come with a convenient remote with multiple heat settings and backlighting choices to match your mood or atmosphere.
