In Wall Fireplace - How to Choose the Right Height and Depth for Your Fireplace
A fireplace that is built-in gives an elegant, polished appearance without the need to purchase an additional mantle. It is one of easiest electric fireplaces.
There are many factors to consider before purchasing your in-wall fireplace. Follow these guidelines to get the most out of your investment.
Height
While it may appear to be an easy task, figuring out the height of your new fireplace is among the most crucial decisions you can make. This is because the height of your fireplace will impact everything from how well it fits in a room to how visible it is. A fireplace that is too high can look unnatural and diminish the aesthetics of the piece. A fireplace that is too low will be lost within the wall space.
Luckily, electric fireplaces are versatile enough to be installed at various heights. For instance, the majority of people prefer to put their fireplaces at eye level from a sitting position. This requires a height of 40-42 inches. Some people put their fireplaces underneath their TVs. This can be an attractive alternative.
The height of your fireplace is contingent on several factors such as the length and size of the wall you plan to place it on. The larger the space, the larger it can be. This could mean that you're capable of fitting a larger fireplace into it. This is also true for the length of the wall because a wall that is longer can accommodate a larger fireplace.
The way you plan to make use of your fireplace is an important aspect. If you plan to use it for ornamental purposes, a smaller size will be the best. If you intend to use it to heat your house, you will need to ensure that the fireplace is sturdy and tall enough to meet the safety standards.
It is crucial to select the right height for your fireplace so that it can fit into your decor and be easy to clean or fill. If you're unsure of the height to go with it is always a good idea to contact an experienced fireplace installer for assistance. They will be able to determine the best height for your fireplace according to their experience and the specifics of your home.
Depth
It is essential to be aware of the depth of a fireplace if you are planning to place it in a recessed location. If you are planning to cut into the wall, ensure that you have enough room to accommodate the fireplace's internal design (the space for the smoke shelf that is above the firebox and the flue that is atop the roof). You should also consider the space available for the surround and if you want a fireplace mantle.
Many of the more recent electric fireplace models feature a depth which is almost hidden, giving them an "integrated" appearance. This type of wall fireplace that is electric is best demonstrated by the Panorama BI Deep series. It has a 5.8-inch depth that lets the viewer see the flames and the ember bed instead of the frame of the fireplace. It is also equipped with a range of media options, including natural-looking driftwood logs, white pebbles, or crystals made of clear glass that reflect the flames and add luster to the ember bed.
Gas wall-mounted fireplaces can be found in both shallow and deep models. But, when deciding the depth of your fireplace, it is essential to remember that these fireplaces function as a source of heat that is supplementary and should be properly vented by an experienced professional. When determining the depth of a gas fireplace it is important to take into consideration the length of the vent pipe as well as the size of the chimney.
It is essential to read and carefully follow the instructions provided by the manufacturer before installing your fireplace. In the majority of instances, a professional installation is advised. It is also best to have an extra person available when installing a gas fireplace.
The addition of a fireplace in the wall place to your home is a fantastic way to increase the value of it and add ambience. It can also lower your heating costs. It's an excellent alternative for those who are unable to install a traditional fire place in your home due to space constraints or the location of a chimney.
Surface Mount
If you're not able or prefer not to cut into your wall or create the space needed to install an electric fireplace A surface mount can give you a sleek and built-in style. Some models, such as the Allusion line of electric fireplaces, can be installed partially recessed into a wall, without compromising heat output.
To begin the installation process, identify the area where you want your fireplace to be located and mark it using a pencil on the wall where the bracket will be put. Use a stud-finder to locate the studs and then place each bracket in front of at least one stud to ensure stability. If a stud is not within reach or won't work for your fireplace, you can use anchors for the drywall to help support the mounting bracket.
Once you've determined the location of the brackets to be mounted, use a drill to screw them into the wall making sure they are aligned with the studs. You can use plastic anchors or studs to attach each bracket. Once the mounting brackets have been installed, lift the fireplace and hang it from the bracket. Once it's secure, check the position of your fireplace to make sure that it is straight and not crooked in the opening.
Before you proceed with the installation, plug in your fireplace and ensure that all the features are functioning properly - turn on the fire, and then light up the flames, play around with the heat, ember bed lights and more. When you're satisfied with the results you can now install your floating mantel.
Based on the model of your fireplace, you'll either need to connect its wire connection to the appliance wire connector on the mantel's bottom or, if your fireplace has hooks or slots on the back connecting them to slots on the wall mounting brackets. Once you've done this, follow your fireplace's owner's manual for specific instructions for removing the glass front panel and [fireplacesandstoves](https://www.fireplacesandstoves.uk/) installing it inside the opening.
After you've removed the front panel of your fireplace and inserted it into the opening, follow your guideline to complete the install by replacing the glass front and adjusting the height as necessary. If your fireplace comes with ember bed media, spread it across the top of the grate to create a more natural appearance and then secure it in place with the included screws.
Plug-In
Unlike traditional wood-burning fireplaces, these electric versions don't need vents or chimneys. Connected to a standard outlet, they provide supplemental heat to rooms up 400 square feet. They also come with a variety of temperature and flame settings so that you can alter your ambience. Some models have LED lighting effects that emphasize the fire and embers. Other models include a top grille grate that conceals manual controls but pops open to reveal pushbuttons to set the desired setting.
Electric fireplaces with plug-ins can be hung directly on walls or installed into the wall for a built-in look. They are typically more straightforward to install than mantel fireplaces. Some units have a pedestal that allow you place the fireplace on flat surfaces, such as dressers or buffets. A remote control, mounting hardware and log set are also included. Based on the model, electric fireplaces could include flame and heat options that can be turned off for all-year-round comfort.
Some models feature privacy glass which can be changed in a flash from fully transparent to partially transparent. These models are popular for walls that separate spaces for entertainment like living and dining rooms. These models can be used in bedrooms, where a fireplace is a cost-effective option to warm up a space and maintain privacy.
Plug-in electric fire places do not require a hardwire however they must be installed in a wall capable of supporting their weight. Some models come with a kit that includes a pre-wired cord and a special bracket that makes the installation process less difficult. This kit is suitable for either drywall or concrete installation.
If you opt to install your wall-mounted electric fireplace make sure it is close to an outlet. Depending on the model, plug-in electric fireplaces can be plugged into outlets that are on the same circuit or a separate circuit for your electric fireplace. It is recommended to choose a different circuit to ensure that there are no other appliances in your home operate on the same voltage. This could trip your circuit breaker.
