Installation

A fireplace that is mounted on the wall is an ideal addition to any home. This is particularly true for those who do not have chimneys, or simply prefer a modern design. These types of cheap fireplaces are usually not as expensive as built-in units and are easier to install than a traditional wood burning fireplace. It's important that the location you select is secure and appropriate for the type of fireplace you're installing. It's also recommended to verify local codes to ensure you don't encounter any issues.

The preparation of the space where the fireplace will be installed is the first step. Depending on the type of fireplace you're looking at installing, this may involve cutting a hole in the wall or taking out an adobe wall. This is a job that's best performed with the assistance of a professional because it requires the ability to follow precise measurements and not cut any electrical wiring.

Once the space is prepared and the area is ready, it's time to hang the unit. Utilize a studfinder for determining where you want to screw the mounting brackets into the wall. It is usually best to have someone else to hold the fireplace as you connect it to the mounting brackets so that you can be sure the fireplace is level and securely fastened to the wall.

Many electric fireplaces come with either slots or hooks on the back of them. If your fireplace has slots, put them into the hooks on the mounting bracket to ensure it is secured. If your fireplace comes with ember bed media, spread it out across the top of the fireplace to create a more finished look.

After the fireplace has been installed and is now ready to add any ornaments you'd like to add. You can create frames from scratch or add a mantel the fireplace. It's always an ideal idea to keep the fireplace clean to avoid dust build-up. To do this, take off the access to the front or back panel from the fireplace, and then clean the inside.

Design

Don't be afraid to use a fireplace wall as a focal point of your home. It's an excellent way to make a bold statement. Neutral colors are a fantastic way to allow other design elements to take the center on the scene in your living space. However the bold colors can be used to emphasize the fireplace's beauty or add a sense of the appearance of a room.

If you're looking for an updated look choose a different material than wood for the mantel and surround. Tile is a great way to create visual interest and texture. If you opt for a basic pattern of cement or stone to complement the surrounding walls or choose a white fireplace-washed look to keep things crisp and clean, a tile fireplace is sure to catch the eye of anyone who enters your home.

Another alternative for a wall-mounted fireplace is to create a recession in the wall. This is a great option for homes that don't have enough space to accommodate a traditional built-in, and helps keep things tidy and appealing. Some models are designed to sit flush with the wall while others are more oblong or longer to fit underneath the TV or other storage units in your media wall.

You can also add some personality to your fireplace by incorporating a unique mantel or hearth. Depending on the style of your home it is possible to consider a hearth that is raised like this one to give it more height and make a striking impact. Consider a wooden beam or a rough stucco, which will contrast with the style of the room.

It is possible to make your fireplace stand out by displaying art and decor that reflect the warmth and personality of your home. If you hang a lot of art in the room in which your fireplace is make sure you choose pieces that reflect the glowing embers and reddish tones of the flame. You can also display decorative items that are inspired by the natural beauty of the fireplace.

Features

Feature walls are typically used as decorative accents, but a fireplace wall takes this idea and transforms it into a practical home accessory. With the addition of a low-maintenance electric fireplace, a feature wall doesn't only adds style to a room, but it also provides cost-effective supplemental heating.

A fireplace accent wall can be as striking or as subtle as you'd like. A large flat-screen TV is the perfect option to create a dramatic focal wall in your home. If you prefer a more subtle aesthetic then consider pairing your fireplace and an entertainment stand, or a wall-mounted bookcase.

You can determine if you want a hearth for your room based on its dimensions. A hearth can be put up at any height. While it is usually 18" high to provide comfortable seating. Some people opt to remove the hearth altogether.

Many people appreciate the warmth and ambiance of a fire without the necessity to heat their homes. This is why a vented wall mounted gas fireplace is an excellent option for homeowners. It's reliable and safe. They can be installed in rooms up 1,000 square feet. These units are ideal for bedrooms, living rooms and dens.

When you are choosing a wall mounted fireplace, consider the BTU output. The more powerful the BTU, the more heat it produces. When deciding on the amount of heat you'll need, bear in mind that it's best to limit the heat to less than the maximum output of the appliance.

If you choose to install a vent-free gas fireplace, make sure the room is well-ventilated and there aren't any combustible materials within three feet of the fireplace. This will stop smoke and flames from escaping through the air that could cause damage to furniture or health problems for family members.

Electric fireplaces are also available in a broad range of styles. There are sleek designs that work well with modern furniture and modern decor. There are also masonry options that go well with rustic and traditional furnishings. You can even design your own wall-mounted surround to create an entirely unique appearance. A custom built surround can be built to match the dimensions of your fireplace and enhance its appearance. It could also include features like a mantle that can hold music speakers or keepakes.

Safety

Fireplaces can add warmth and ambience to a room, but if it is not maintained or utilized properly it can also be dangerous. The risks include fire or smoke inhalation, chimney fires, carbon monoxide poisoning, and electric shock. The good news is that these risks can be avoided by following simple safety tips and practicing common sense.

It is a good idea to put up a mesh screen over your fireplace if you have young children. This will stop sparks and embers from flying into the air. This is particularly important in the case of a fireplace that is wood-burning. The smoke from burning firewood can irritate or irritate the lung and heart of adults and children with asthma and other heart and lung conditions.

Even if the fireplace is equipped with a door that closes over the flames, it's important to keep pets and children away. The glass doors to fireplaces can become very hot and can cause burns if touched, so it's recommended to wait until the fireplace is completely cool before opening the door.

Vent-free fireplaces that are mounted on wall with gas technology come with safety features to prevent accidental use. They also ensure that the unit isn't an fire risk. These features include oxygen sensors that shut off the burners if low oxygen levels are detected and gas shut-offs which stop the flow of gas in the event that the pilot lights fail to turn off.

It is important to maintain your gas wall-mounted fireplace regularly, whether it has a vent or not. This includes cleaning the flue and the lining examined. A qualified technician should repair any cracks or holes in the interior lining.

It is also important to check regularly to make sure that the cord of your fireplace isn't twisted or covered by furniture or other items. This could increase the chance of fire or overheating. It's recommended to keep liquids away from an electrical fireplace and it's recommended to use surge protectors to avoid sudden voltage spikes that could harm the appliance or cause fire. Install your fireplace at least 5 to 4 feet off the ground, to keep it out of reach of pets and children.
