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

A built-in fireplace provides an elegant, polished appearance without having to pay for a mantle. It is one of the easiest electric fireplaces to install.

There are a few aspects to think about before purchasing an in-wall fireplace. Follow these tips to make the most out of your investment.

Height

It might seem like a simple issue however, determining the height of your fireplace is among the biggest decisions you will make. This is because the height of your fireplace can affect everything from how well it fits in a room to how easily it can be seen. Having your fireplace raised too high can look unnatural and diminish the beauty of the piece. A fireplace that is too low can appear unnatural within the wall space.

Electric fireplaces can be mounted at different levels. For instance, a majority of people choose to mount their fireplaces at eye level from a seated position. This requires a height of 40-42 inches. Some people place their fireplaces under their TVs, which can be visually appealing.

However, the height of your fireplace insert will depend on several factors, including the size of the room and the length of the wall on which you'd like to place it. The larger the space the more spacious it will be. This could mean you are capable of fitting a larger fireplace in it. The length of the wall is also important because a wall that is longer will support a larger fireplace.

Another crucial aspect to take into consideration is how you plan to use your fireplace. If you intend to use it for ornamental purposes, a lower height will work best. However, if you plan to heat your home with it, you'll have to make sure that the fireplace is tall enough to meet the safety and codes of your area.

The right height for your fireplace can help to make sure that it matches the rest of your decor and is simple to work on when cleaning or filling it. You can always consult an expert fireplace suite installer to help you if you are unsure about the best height to choose. They can advise on the best height for your fireplace, based on their knowledge and your home.

Depth

It is important to know the depth of a fireplace, especially if you are planning to place it in a recessed position. If you're planning to cut into your wall, make sure that you have enough depth to accommodate the inner design of your fireplace (the smoke shelf area above the fireplace, the flue that runs through the roof, and the fireplace itself). You should also consider the space you'll have for the surround, and whether or not you want a mantle.

A lot of the most recent electric fireplaces have a depth which is almost hidden, giving them an "integrated" appearance. The Panorama BI-Deep series is a great example of this type of electric fireplace that is wall-mounted. This model features an 5.8-inch depth that allows the viewer to see the flames and the ember bed and not the frame of the fireplace. The media package includes driftwood logs in natural colors white pebbles, as well as crystals of clear glass to add a luster to the embers and reflect the flames.

Gas wall-mounted fire places are also available in deep and shallow versions. But, when deciding the depth of your fireplace, it is important to remember that these units operate as a source of heat that is supplementary and should be properly vented by a knowledgeable professional. The length of the vent pipe, the size of the flue, and the distance from the stove to the vent are all factors that need to be taken into consideration when determining the depth of a fireplace made of gas.

It is crucial to read and follow the instructions provided by the manufacturer when installing your fireplace. In the majority of instances, a professional installation is advised. It is also recommended to have an additional person on hand when installing gas fireplaces.

Installing a fireplace in the wall of your home is an great way to boost its value and add some ambiance to your living spaces. It can also reduce the cost of heating. Additionally, it's a great option if you cannot install traditional fireplaces in your home due to space limitations or due to the location of an existing chimney.

Surface Mount

If you're unable, or prefer not to cut through your wall or construct an area to accommodate an electric fireplace, a surface mount gives a sleek and built-in look. Certain models, like the Allusion line, can be installed partially recessed into a wall without compromising aesthetics or heat output.

To begin the installation process, identify where you want your fireplace to be installed and make a mark with a pencil along the wall where the bracket will be put. Use a stud-finder for locating the studs and then place each bracket in front at least one stud for stability. If a stud cannot be reached or isn't suitable for your fireplace, you can use drywall anchors as a support.

Once you have marked the location of mounting brackets on the wall and then use a power drill to screw them in and make sure they are aligned correctly with the studs. You can use studs or anchors made of plastic to connect each bracket. Once the mounting brackets have been put installed, lift your fireplace and hang it on the wall bracket. After it's secured, you can check the position of your fireplace to ensure that it's straight and not crooked in the opening.

Before you begin the installation make sure to plug in your fireplace and ensure that all features work correctly. Then, light the fire, play around with the heating, the lights for the ember bed and the list goes on. When you're satisfied with your results, it's time to install your floating mantel.

Depending on the model of your fireplace, you'll have to connect the wire connection to the appliance wire connector in the mantel's bottom or, if your fireplace has slots or hooks on the back, connect them to the slots on the wall mounting brackets. Once you've completed this step make sure to consult the user manual for instructions on how to remove the glass front panel from the opening and replace it.

If you need to adjust the height and width, you should replace the glass front after you have removed the front panel. If your fireplace includes ember bed media, place it across the top grate to give it a more natural appearance. Then secure it with the screws included.

Plug-In

These electric fireplaces do not require chimneys or vents like traditional wood-burning fireplaces. They're plugged into an outlet that is standard, providing supplemental heating for rooms that are up to 400 square feet in size. You can also customize the ambiance with multiple flame and heat settings. Some models feature LED lighting effects that enhance the ember bed and fire. Certain models have an upper grille which hides the manual controls, but can be easily opened to reveal buttons.

Electric fire places that plug in can be mounted directly on the wall or recessed for a built-in appearance. These units are typically simpler to set up than a mantel fireplace. Some come with pedestal bases that allow you to set the fireplace on a flat surface such as buffets or dressers. A remote control as well as mounting hardware and a log set are also included. Electric fireplaces can have flame and heat options which can be removed to provide a warm and cozy atmosphere.

Certain models come with privacy glass that can be adjusted instantly, from being fully transparent to partially transparent. This feature makes these models popular for walls that divide common spaces for entertainment, such as living and dining areas. They can be even used in bedrooms where adding the fireplace is an affordable way to reduce the chill in an area without compromising privacy.

Plug-in electric fire places do not need to be hardwired however they must be installed in a wall capable of supporting their weight. Certain models come with a kit to make this process easier with a pre-wired power cord and an specialized mounting bracket. This kit is suitable for the installation of drywall or concrete.

If you choose to install your electric fireplace on the wall ethanol fires (3.29.203.65) make sure it is near an outlet. Electric fire places with plug-ins can be plugged in to outlets that are on the same circuit as the electric fireplace or into a designated outlet. It's best to use a separate circuit to ensure that nothing else in your home will operate on the same voltage and could cause a trip to your circuit breaker.
