The flame-only mode allows you to experience the hypnotic dance of flames without the need to increase the temperature. This is perfect for rooms with little or no need for heating.
Inset vs. wall-hung
Media wall electric fires come in two primary designs: wall-mounted and inset. Inset models such as the Vision Futura 1500 and the Evonic Halo 1500 XT are installed into walls with a flush-finish that blends seamlessly into the surrounding walls. Inset electric fireplaces can be more expensive and require an opening already in place.
The most effective electric media wall fireplaces, like the Elgin and Hall Pryzm Arteon 3, are wall-hung. They are simple to install and don't require an opening in the wall because they don't have to be recessed into the wall. There are models that come with a variety of trims and finishes that can be customised to fit your style. However wall-hung models are able to be a little slender from the wall, which means they may not be suitable for all rooms. They can also hinder the flow of air in smaller spaces because they tend to radiate heat upwards rather than across the room.
3. Vision Futura 1500
Electric fires are the perfect finishing touch for a media wall. They create an eye-catching focal point that is mesmerising and enjoyable to be in front of. Modern fires are packed with cutting-edge features that will improve the look of your home. They have a flame-effect-only setting that conserves energy and a cooling feature for summer nights.
A media wall is a dedicated space to your entertainment setup, typically with a TV and sound system, but could also contain gaming consoles or other equipment you use regularly. This kind of space is a modern answer to the entertainment centers of the past and can offer a sleek, organized look while making floor space available in the room.
Modern electric fires can be mounted on the wall and, depending on the design, they can either be freestanding or inset. Inset fires are designed to be inserted partially into the fireplace opening making it simpler to install and looks more integrated in your living spaces. Freestanding fires, such as the Gallery Collection Hopton or Dimplex Danville are ideal for those who do not have an opening in the fireplace. They can be moved from room to place to make it more flexible.
Whatever method of installation you choose, always place the fire near an electrical outlet to ensure you can connect the device and test it prior to fitting. You should also ensure that you place the fire away from any combustible materials, as per regulations.
Be aware that the majority of electric fireplaces for media wall have a limited output of heat, and are best used to supplement your central heating system. They're not suitable for heating large, open spaces and will only take the edge off the chill of a room. Some models come with a convenient remote control that has several heating settings and backlighting options to match your mood and atmosphere.
