In Wall Fireplace - How to Choose the Right Height and electric fireplaces Depth for Your Fireplace

A fireplace in the wall gives an elegant and polished look without the expense of a mantle. It is one of the most simple electric fireplaces to set up.

There are a few aspects to think about prior to purchasing an in-wall fireplace. Follow these suggestions to get the most out of your investment.

Height

It may appear to be a simple question but determining the size of your fireplace is one of the biggest decisions you will make. The height of your fireplace can influence everything, from how it will fit into a space to its visibility. The fireplace might appear strange in the event that it is set too high. It could also detract from its attractiveness. On the other side, having your fireplace too low could cause it to be lost in the wall space.

Luckily, electric fireplaces are versatile enough to be installed at various heights. The majority of people place their fireplaces from a sitting position at eye level. This requires a height between 40-42 inches. Some people mount their fireplaces beneath their TVs. This is an attractive option.

However, the exact height of your fireplace will be determined by a few things, including the dimensions of the room as well as the length of the wall you want to mount it. The bigger the room, the larger it can be. This could mean that you're capable of fitting a larger fireplace into it. The same goes for the length of the wall, since a longer wall can support a wider 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 lower height will work best. If you intend to use it to heat your home using it, you'll need to ensure that the fireplace is tall enough to meet local codes and safety standards.

A proper height for your fireplace can help to ensure that it's in keeping with the rest of your decor and is easy to work with when cleaning or filling it. If you're not sure of the size to choose you can always seek out an experienced fireplace installer for assistance. They can recommend the ideal height for your fireplace, according to their experience and the design of your home.

Depth

The depth of a fireplace is essential to consider if you intend to install it in a recessed position. If you're planning to cut into the wall, make sure that you have enough space to accommodate your fireplace's inner design (the area for the smoke shelf that is above the firebox and the flue that is atop the roof). You should also consider the space you will have for the surround and whether or not you'd like a mantle.

Many of the more recent electric fireplace models feature the depth of being almost invisible, creating an "integrated" appearance. The Panorama Bi-Deep series is a fantastic example of this kind of electric fireplace that is wall-mounted. This model features a 5.8-inch depth that allows the viewer to see the flames and ember bed instead of the frame of the fireplace. The media package includes driftwood logs in natural looks white pebbles, as well as clear glass crystals to add a luster to the embers and reflect the flames.

Gas wall-mounted fireplaces also come in deep and shallow models. When deciding on the depth of your fireplace, it is crucial to keep in mind that these fireplaces work as a heat source that can be used for supplemental purposes and must be properly vented by a skilled professional. The length of the vent pipe, the size of the flue, and the distance from the stove to the vent are all elements that should be considered when determining the depth of a gas fireplace.

It is essential to read and follow the instructions provided by the manufacturer before installing your fireplace insert. In most instances, a professional installation is recommended. It is good to have an extra person available when installing gas fireplaces.

Adding an in-wall fireplace to your home is an great way to boost its value and add ambiance to your living spaces. It can also reduce your heating bills. Additionally, it's a great option if you are unable to fit traditional fireplaces in your home due to space constraints or due to the location of your existing chimney.

Surface Mount

If you're unable, or prefer not to cut into your wall or construct a space to accommodate an electric fireplace, a surface mount provides a sleek and built-in style. Some models, such as the Allusion line of electric fireplaces, can be positioned partially recessed into a wall without compromising the heat output.

To begin the installation process, you must determine the location where you would like your fireplace to be located and mark it with a pencil on the wall where the bracket will be installed. Utilize a stud locater to locate the studs in the area. Make sure the mounting bracket is in the front of one or more studs to ensure stability. If a stud is not accessible or isn't suitable for your fireplace, make use of anchors for drywall to support the mounting bracket.

Once you've determined the location of the brackets to be mounted then use a drill to screw them into the wall, ensuring they are properly aligned with the studs. You can use plastic anchors or studs to secure each bracket. After the mounting brackets are in place, lift your fireplace and place it on the wall bracket. Once it's secure, check the position of your fireplace to ensure that it's level and not crooked in the opening.

Before you begin the installation make sure to plug in your fireplace and make sure all the features are working properly. Then, light the fire, test the heating, the ember bed lights and other features. When you're satisfied with your results, it's time to install your floating mantel.

Depending on the model of your fireplace, you'll either have to connect the wire connection to the appliance wire connector at the lower part of the mantel. 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 then, refer to the owner's manual for specific directions for removing the glass front panel and installing it inside the opening.

If you need to adjust the height, replace the glass front once you have removed the front panel. If your fireplace has ember bed media, place it across the top grate for a more natural look. Then secure it with the screws that come with it.

Plug-In

In contrast to traditional fireplaces that burn wood, electric fireplaces don't require vents or chimneys. Connected to a standard outlet, they provide additional heating for rooms up to 400 square feet. They also offer multiple heating and flame settings, to allow you to customize your ambience. Some models have LED lighting effects that emphasize the embers and ethonal fire. Certain models have an upper grille that hides the manual controls, but can be easily opened to reveal the pushbuttons.

Plug-in electric fireplaces can be hung directly on walls or recessed into the wall for a built-in look. These units are usually more straightforward to install than mantel fireplaces. Some models have a pedestal that allow you place the fireplace on flat surfaces, such as a buffet or dresser. A remote control as well as mounting hardware and a log set are also included. Based on the model, these electric fireplaces could include flame and heat options that can be switched off to provide ambiance throughout the year.

Some models have privacy glass that can be adjusted instantly from fully transparent to partially transparent. This makes these models popular for walls that separate common spaces for entertainment, such as dining and living areas. These models can be used in bedrooms, where adding an fireplace is a cost-effective option to warm up a space and ensure privacy.

While plug-in electric fireplaces don't require hardwiring like traditional fireplaces, they must be installed on a wall that is at a minimum not stud-free and is able to support the weight of the fireplace. Certain models come with an accessory kit to make this process more simple with a pre-wired power cord as well as a special mounting bracket. This kit is suitable for either concrete or drywall installation.

When deciding on a place for your wall mount electric fireplace, ensure it is near an electrical outlet. Depending on the model, plug-in electric fireplaces can be connected to outlets that are on the same circuit, or a dedicated one for your electric fireplace. It is best to choose an exclusive circuit to ensure that no other appliances in the home will be operating on the same voltage and possibly trip your circuit breaker.
