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

A fireplace that is built-in offers an elegant, polished look without the expense of a mantle. It is one of the easiest electric fireplaces.

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

Height

While it may appear to be an easy task but determining the height of your new fireplace is among the most important decisions to make. The size of your fireplace's height can affect everything, from how it will fit into a space to its visibility. Your fireplace could look strange if it is raised too high. It will also detract from its aesthetics. A fireplace that is too low can look drab in the wall space.

Luckily, electric fireplaces are versatile enough to be placed at various heights. The majority of people install their fireplaces in a seated position at eye level. This usually requires a height of between 40 and 42 inches from the floor to the bottom of the fireplace. Some people mount their fireplaces underneath their TVs. This can be an attractive option.

The exact size of your fireplace will depend on a few things, including the size of the room and the length of the wall where you'd like to put it. The bigger a room larger, the more spacious it will be and it could mean that you are able to fit a bigger fireplace in it. The same goes for the length of the wall because a wall that is longer can accommodate a fireplace that is larger.

How you intend to use your fireplace is another important factor. If you intend to use it for ornamental purposes, a shorter level will work better. If you intend to use it to heat your house you must ensure that the fireplace is strong and tall enough to meet safety standards.

The right height for your fireplace can help to make sure that it matches the rest of your decor and is easy to work on when cleaning or filling it. If you're not sure what size to choose it is always a good idea to contact an expert fireplace installer for help. They will be able to suggest the ideal height for your fireplace in light of their experience and your unique home.

Depth

The depth of a fireplace is crucial to know if you plan to put it in a recessed place. If you are going to cut through your wall, make sure that you have enough depth to accommodate the inner design of your fireplace (the smoke shelf above the fireplace, the flue that is able to rise through the roof and the fireplace itself). Also, think about the space available for the surround, and whether you would like a fireplace mantle.

A lot of the latest electric models of fireplaces have a depth that is nearly concealed, creating an almost "built-in" look. This kind of wall fireplace that is electric is best exemplified by the Panorama BI Deep series. The model is 5.8-inch deep frame that lets viewers to see the flames, ember bed and not the frame. It also comes with a choice of media options, including natural-looking driftwood logs white pebbles, crystals made of clear glass that reflect the flames and improve the ember bed.

Wall-mounted gas fireplaces are also available in deep and shallow models. When deciding on the depth of your fireplace, it is essential to remember that these fireplaces work 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 between the stove and the vent are all elements that should be taken into consideration when determining the depth of a gas fireplace.

Whether you choose a surface mount or recess-mounted installation, it is essential to follow the manufacturer's instructions when mounting your fireplace. A professional installer is recommended in the majority of cases. It is also a good idea to have a second person on hand to install an fireplace suite.

A fireplace built into the wall of your home is an great way to boost its value and add some ambiance to your living spaces. It also can reduce your heating expenses. It's an excellent option when you aren't able to fit a traditional fireplace in your home due to space restrictions or the location of a chimney.

Surface Mount

If you're unable or prefer not to cut into your wall or construct the space needed to install an electric fireplace, a surface mount provides a sleek and modern style. Certain models, such as the Allusion line, can be mounted partially recessed in a wall fires without compromising the heat output or aesthetics.

To begin the installation start by marking the wall using a pencil on the wall where the bracket will be mounted. Utilize a stud locater to find the studs in the area. Make sure every mounting bracket is placed in the front of one or more studs for stability. If a stud cannot be reached or isn't suitable for your fireplace, you could 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 aligned correctly with the studs. If possible, attach each bracket to a stud for security and strength, but you can also use anchors made of plastic when needed. Once the mounting brackets are in place, raise your fireplace and place it on the wall bracket. Once it's secure, check the position of your fireplace to ensure that it is straight and not crooked within the opening.

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

Depending on the model of your fireplace, you'll require a wire connection to the appliance wire connector in the lower part of the mantel. Or if the fireplace has slots or hooks on the back, connect them to the slots on the wall mounting brackets. Once you've done this, follow your fireplace's owner's manual for specific directions on removing the front glass panel and inserting it into the opening.

If you need to adjust the height you can replace the glass front after you have removed the front panel. If your fireplace comes with ember bed media, spread it over the top of the grate for a more natural appearance and then secure it with the included screws.

Plug-In

These fireplaces with electric technology do not require chimneys or vents like traditional wood-burning fireplaces. Connected to a standard outlet, they provide additional heat to rooms up 400 square feet. They also have a variety of flame and heat settings so you can customize the ambience. Certain models have LED lighting effects that accentuate the ember bed and the fire. Other models include an upper grille grate that conceals manual controls but opens to reveal pushbuttons for your preferred setting.

Electric fire places that plug in can be mounted directly on the wall or recessed to give a built-in appearance. These units are typically easier to set up than mantel fireplaces. Some have pedestal bases to permit you to put the fireplace on a flat surface, such as buffets or dressers. Included is a remote control, mounting hardware and the log set. Based on the model, these electric fireplaces can include flame and heat options that can be turned off for year-round ambiance.

Some models have adjustable privacy glass that can change instantly from fully see-through to partially transparent. This feature makes these models popular for walls that divide common spaces for entertainment, such as dining and living areas. They can also be utilized in bedrooms where adding a fireplace is a cost-effective way to reduce the chill in an area without compromising privacy.

Plug-in electric fire places don't require a hardwire, but they must be installed in an area that can support their weight. Certain models come with an accessory kit to make this process easier by providing a pre-wired power cord and an specialized mounting bracket. This kit can be used for the installation of drywall or concrete.

When deciding on a place for your wall mount electric fireplace, ensure that it is near an electrical outlet. Depending on the model, plug-in electric fireplaces can be connected to outlets that are connected to the same circuit, or a separate circuit for your electric fireplace. It's best to use a separate circuit to ensure that no other appliances in the home will run on the same voltage and possibly trip your circuit breaker.
