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

An in-wall fireplace gives a sleek and polished look without the cost of a mantle. It is one of the most simple electric fireplaces to set up.

There are a few factors to consider before purchasing your fireplace in wall. To make the most of your investment, adhere to these helpful tips:.

Height

While it may seem like a simple question to answer, determining the height of your fireplace is among the most crucial decisions you can make. The size of your fireplace's height can influence everything, from how well it fits in a room to its visibility. Your fireplace could look strange if it is raised too high. It will also diminish its attractiveness. On the other the other hand, having your fireplace set too low will cause it to disappear in the wall space.

Luckily, electric fireplaces are versatile enough to be placed at various heights. The majority of people place their fireplaces sitting at eye level. This requires a height of 40-42 inches. Some people place their fireplaces under their TVs, which is a visually appealing option.

The height of your fireplace will depend on a few things, including the size of the room and the length of the wall on which you'd like to put it. The bigger the room is, the bigger it will be. This could mean you are in a position to fit a bigger fireplace into it. The length of a wall fires is also crucial since a wall that is larger can support a fireplace that is larger.

Another crucial aspect to take into consideration is how you intend to use your fireplace. If you plan to use it only for decorative purposes, then the lower height is ideal. If you intend to use it to heat your house, you will need to ensure that the marble fireplace is tall and sturdy enough to withstand the safety standards.

It is crucial to select the proper height for your fireplace so that it can fit into your decor and be simple to clean or fill. You can always ask a professional fireplace installer to assist you if are unsure of the size you should pick. They'll 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 when you are planning to place it in a recessed position. If you plan to cut into the wall, ensure that you have enough room to accommodate your fireplace's interior design (the space for the smoke shelf above the firebox as well as the flue that rises from the roof). You should also consider the space you will have for the surround and whether you want a mantle.

Many of the latest electric fireplaces come with a depth that is nearly hidden, giving them a "built-in" appearance. The Panorama BI-Deep series is a great example of this kind of wall-mounted electric fireplace. This model features a 5.8-inch depth that lets the viewer see the flames and ember bed instead of the frame of the fireplace. The media package includes driftwood logs in natural looks, white pebbles or crystals of clear glass to enhance the embers and reflect the flames.

Gas wall-mounted fireplaces also come in deep and shallow models. When deciding the depth of your fireplace it is crucial to keep in mind that these units are supplemental heating sources and must be vented properly by an experienced professional. The length of the vent pipe, the length of the flue, as well as the distance from the stove to the vent are all factors that must be considered when determining the depth of a gas fireplace.

If you decide to go with a surface mount or one-piece installation, it's important to read and adhere to the instructions of the manufacturer when mounting your fireplace. In the majority of cases, a professional installer is recommended. It is good to have an extra person available when installing a gas fireplace.

The addition of an in-wall fireplace place to your home is a fantastic way to add value to it and create an atmosphere. It can also lower your heating costs. It is also a great alternative if you cannot fit a traditional fire place in your home due to space constraints or because of the location of a 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 an elegant and integrated look. Some models, such as the Allusion line of electric fireplaces, can be positioned partially recessed into walls without compromising the heat output.

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

Once you have identified the location of the mounting brackets on the wall using a power drill, you can use it to screw them in and make sure they are properly aligned with the studs. If possible, attach each bracket to a stud to ensure security and strength, but you can also use anchors made of plastic if necessary. After the mounting brackets are in place, lift your fireplace, then hang it from the wall bracket. After it's secured, you can check the position of your fireplace to ensure that it is straight and not crooked in the opening.

Before you begin the installation make sure to plug in your fireplace and make sure that all features work correctly. Light the ethonal fire, test the heat, the lights for the ember bed and the list goes on. Once you're happy with the results then it's time to put up your floating mantel.

Based on the model of your fireplace It is possible to connect the wire connection to the appliance connector on the mantel's bottom, or if it has slots or hooks connected to slots on the mounting brackets. After you've completed this step, consult your fireplace's user manual for instructions on how to remove the front glass panel from the opening and replace it.

Once you've removed the front panel of your fireplace and installed it into the opening, follow your instructions in the manual to complete the installation by replacing the glass front and adjusting the height if necessary. If your fireplace has ember bed media, place it over the top of the grate to give it a more natural look. Then secure it with the screws that come with it.

Plug-In

Contrary to traditional wood fireplace-burning fireplaces electric fireplaces don't require chimneys or vents. Plugged into a standard outlet they provide additional heat to rooms up 400 square feet. You can also customize the atmosphere with different flame and heat settings. Some models feature LED lighting effects that accentuate the ember bed and fire. Some models have a top grille grate that hides manual controls but easily pops open to reveal buttons for your preferred setting.

Plug-in electric fireplaces can be hung directly on walls or recessed into the wall for an aesthetically pleasing look. They are generally simpler to set up than a mantel fireplace. Some units come with a pedestal to allow you place the fireplace on flat surfaces such as a dresser or buffet. Included are a remote control, mounting hardware, and log set. Based on the model, Electric Fire fireplaces may include both heating and flame options that can be turned off for year-round ambiance.

Certain models come with privacy glass which can be changed in a flash, from being fully transparent to partially transparent. These models are popular for walls that divide zones of entertainment such as living and dining rooms. They can even be used in bedrooms where the addition of a fireplace can be a cost-effective method to reduce the chill in a room without sacrificing privacy.

While plug-in electric fireplaces don't require a hardwire as built-in models, they must be installed on the wall that is at a minimum stud-free and capable of supporting the weight of the fireplace. Some models include a kit to make this process easier by providing an electrical power cord that is pre-wired and a special mounting bracket. This kit is available for concrete or drywall installation.

When choosing a location for your wall-mounted electric fireplace, make sure it's near an electrical outlet. Based on the model, plug-in electric fireplaces can be plugged into outlets that are connected to the same circuit or a separate one for your electric fireplace. It is recommended to use a dedicated circuit so that nothing else in the home will operate at the same voltage and could cause a trip to your breaker.
