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

An in wall fireplace provides an elegant and polished look without the cost of mantles. It is one of the easiest electric fireplaces.

There are some things to think about prior to purchasing an in-wall fireplace. To get the most value from your investment, consider these tips for a successful purchase:.

Height

It may appear to be a simple question however, determining the height of your fireplace is one of the biggest decisions you will make. The size of your fireplace's height can affect everything, from how well it will fit into a space to its visibility. Having your fireplace raised to high could make it look unnatural and take away from the aesthetics of the piece. On the other side, having your fireplace too low can cause it to be lost in the wall space.

Electric fireplaces can be erected at different heights. For instance, the majority of people prefer to place their stone fireplaces on the eye level from a seated position. This typically requires a height of 40-42 inches from the floor to the bottom of the fireplace. Some fireplaces are mounted under their TVs, which can be a visually appealing option.

The size of your fireplace will depend on several factors, including the dimensions and length of the wall you intend to place it on. The larger a room is, the more spacious it can be, and this might mean that you can install more of a fireplace. The same is true for the length of the wall, since a longer wall can accommodate a larger fireplace.

The way you plan to use your fireplace is another important factor. If you intend to use it only to decorate your home, it is recommended to choose a lower height. If you intend to use it to heat your house, you will need to make sure that the fireplace is tall and sturdy enough to meet the safety standards.

Having the proper height for your fireplace can help to ensure that it is in line with the decor of the room and is easy to work on when cleaning or filling it. If you're not sure what size to choose you can always reach out to an expert fireplace installer for help. They'll be able to suggest the ideal height for your fireplace based on their experience and the specifics of your home.

Depth

It is crucial to know the depth of a fireplace if you plan to install it in a recessed position. If you plan to cut into the wall, ensure that you have enough room to accommodate your fireplace's inner design (the area for the smoke shelf above the firebox and the flue that extends upwards from the roof). You should also consider the space you will have for the surround, and whether or not you want a mantle.

Many of the latest electric fireplace models have an incredibly deep depth that is invisible, creating an "integrated" look. The Panorama BI-Deep series is an excellent example of this type of electric fireplace that is wall-mounted. It has a 5.8-inch depth that lets the viewer see the flames, ember bed and not the frame. It also comes with a choice of media options, including natural-looking driftwood logs that look like driftwood, white pebbles, or clear glass crystals that reflect the flames and enhance the ember bed.

Wall-mounted gas fireplaces are available in both shallow and deep models. When determining the depth of your fireplace, it is crucial to keep in mind that these units are supplemental heat sources and should be properly vented by an experienced professional. The length of the vent pipe, the length of the flue, and the distance from the stove to the vent are all aspects that should be considered when determining the depth of a gas marble fireplace.

Whether you choose a surface mount or one-piece installation, it's crucial to read and adhere to the manufacturer's instructions when mounting your fireplace. A professional installer is recommended in all instances. It is also a good idea to have a second person in the house to install the fireplace.

The addition of an in-wall fireplace space to your home is an excellent option to enhance it and create an atmosphere. It can also reduce the cost of heating. It's an excellent alternative when you aren't able to fit an old-fashioned fireplace into your home due to space restrictions or because of the location of a chimney.

Surface Mount

Surface mounts are an excellent option if you don't want to or can't cut into the wall to install an electric fireplace. They also give it a sleek, built-in look. Some models, such as the Allusion line, can be installed partially recessing in the wall without compromising on aesthetics or heat output.

To begin the installation begin by marking the wall with a pencil on the wall where the bracket will be mounted. Utilize a stud-finder to find the studs, and place each bracket in front of at least one stud to ensure stability. If a stud isn't within reach or won't work for your fireplace, use anchors for the drywall to support the mounting bracket.

Once you've determined the location of the mounting brackets and drilled them, screw them into the wall ensuring they are properly aligned with the studs. You can use plastic anchors or studs to attach each bracket. Once 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 straight and not crooked in the opening.

Before you begin the installation, plug your fireplace in and make sure all the features are working properly. Light the fire, play around with the heat, the ember bed lights and the list goes on. When you're satisfied with the results then it's time to put up your floating mantel.

Based on the model of your fireplace, you'll need to connect its wire connection to the appliance wire connector in the mantel's bottom or in the event that your fireplace has slots or hooks on the back, connect them to the slots on the wall mounting brackets. After you've completed this process you should consult your fireplace's user manual for instructions on how to remove the front glass panel from the opening and replace it.

After you've removed the front panel of your fireplace and inserted it into the opening, follow your instructions in the manual to complete the installation by replacing the glass front and adjusting the height as needed. If your fireplace has ember bed media spread it across the top grate for a more natural appearance. 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 chimneys or vents. They plug into an outlet that is standard that can provide supplemental heat for rooms that are up to 400 square feet in size. You can also alter the ambience with a variety of heat and flame settings. Certain models come with LED lighting effects that emphasize the embers and fire. Other models include a top grille grate that hides manual controls but easily pops open to reveal buttons to select the setting you prefer.

Electric fire places that plug in can be installed directly on the wall or recessed for a built-in appearance. They are generally easier to install than mantel fireplaces electric. Some come with pedestal bases to permit you to put the fireplace on a flat surface like buffets or dressers. A remote control along with mounting hardware and a log set are all included. Depending on the model, electric fireplaces can include flame and heat options that can be switched off for all-year-round comfort.

Some models have adjustable privacy glass that you can quickly change from fully see-through to partially transparent. These types are ideal for walls that divide entertainment areas like dining and living rooms. These models can be utilized in bedrooms, where an fireplace is a cost-effective way to warm up a room and maintain privacy.

Although plug-in electric fireplaces don't need to be hardwired as built-in models, they must be mounted within the wall that is at the very least free of studs and able to support the weight of the fireplace. Some models include an accessory kit to make this process simpler with a pre-wired power cord and a special mounting bracket. This kit can be used for construction of drywall or concrete.

When deciding on a place for your wall mount electric fireplace, ensure that it's near an electrical outlet. Plug-in electric fire places can be plugged in to outlets that are on the same circuit as the electric fireplace inserts or into a separate outlet. It is suggested to have a separate circuit, so that all other appliances in your home can be powered by the same voltage. This could trip your breakers.
