They use less energy and can save money by limiting the output of heat to the amount you require. The "flame only" option lets you enjoy the hypnotic sway of the flames without having to increase the heat, which is ideal for rooms that don't require much heat.
Inset vs wall-hung
Inset and wall-mounted media wall electric fireplaces are the two most popular types. Inset models like 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. However, inset electric fires require an opening that is already in place and can be more expensive than freestanding counterparts.
The best wall electric media fires are wall-hung, including the Elgin & Hall Pryzm Arteon 3SL. Because they aren't set into the wall, they don't require an opening that already exists and are relatively inexpensive to set up. They are more adaptable than inset electric fires with some models offering a wide range of different trims and finishes to suit your style. Wall-mounted models still stand out from the wall and not suit all room designs. They can also restrict the circulation of air in smaller spaces because they'll likely disperse the heat upwards rather than across the space.
3. Vision Futura 1500
Electric fires can be the perfect finishing touch for the media wall. They create an eye-catching focal point that is mesmerising and a delight to be in front of. These modern fires are packed with modern features that can enhance your home. They come with a flame-effect only setting that saves energy, and a cooling option for summer nights.
A media wall is an area for your entertainment setup, usually equipped with a TV and a sound system, but could also contain gaming consoles or other devices that you frequently use. This kind of space is a modern answer to the entertainment centres of the past. It can offer a sleek, organised aesthetic while also freeing up floor space in the room.
Modern electric fires can be positioned on the wall and, depending on the style, they can be inset or freestanding. Inset fires are designed to be inserted partially in a fireplace opening. This makes them easier to install, and they will look more harmonious in your living space. Freestanding fires, like the Gallery Collection Hopton or Dimplex Danville are ideal for those who don't have an opening in the fireplace. pre built media wall with fireplace can also be moved from room to room to make it more flexible.
Whatever method of installation you decide to use, always put the fire in proximity to a power socket to ensure you can connect the device to test it before fitting. It is also important to place the fire away from any combustible substances, as per the regulations.
Keep in mind that the majority of electric fires for media walls provide only a small amount of heat output and are best used to add an additional source of heat to your central heating systems. They're not suitable for heating large spaces that are open and can only take the edge off the chill of a room. Some models come with a handy remote control that has several heat settings and backlighting options to match your mood and atmosphere.
