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

An in wall fireplace provides a sleek and polished look without the expense of a mantle. It is one of the easiest electric fireplaces.

There are a few things to consider before buying an in-wall fireplace. Follow these suggestions to get the most out of your investment.

Height

While it may appear to be something that is easy, figuring out the height of your new fireplace is one of the most crucial decisions you can make. This is because the height of your fireplace will affect everything from how well it fits into a space to how visible it is. Your fireplace could look strange when it is too high. It will also detract from its aesthetics. On the other side, having your ethanol fireplace set too low will cause it to disappear in the wall space.

Electric fireplaces can be mounted at various heights. Most people mount their fireplaces from a sitting position at eye level. This requires a height of 40 and 42 inches. Some people put their fireplaces beneath their TVs. This is an attractive option.

The size of your fireplace will depend on several factors, including the dimensions of the room as well as the length of the wall you'd like to place it. The larger the space is, the bigger it will be. This could mean you are able to fit a larger fireplace in it. The same is true for the length of the wall since a longer wall can accommodate a larger fireplace.

Another important factor to consider is how you plan to make use of your fireplace. If you intend to use it solely for decorative purposes, then a lower height is best. If you intend to use it to heat your home you must ensure that the fireplace is tall and sturdy enough to withstand the safety standards.

Having the proper height for your fireplace will help to ensure that it is in line with the decor of the room and is easy to work on when cleaning or filling it. You can always ask an expert fireplace installer to help you if you are unsure of the height you should choose. They'll be able to determine the best height for your fireplace according to their experience and your particular home.

Depth

A fireplace's depth is important to know if you want to put it in a recessed place. If you're planning to cut through your wall, ensure that you have enough space to accommodate the inner design of your fireplace (the smoke shelf area above the fireplace box, the flue which is able to rise through the roof and the fireplace itself). Also consider the space you'll have for the surround and whether or not you'd like a mantle.

Many of the more recent electric fireplace models feature a depth which is almost concealed, giving them an "integrated" appearance. This type of wall fireplace made from electric is best demonstrated by the Panorama BI Deep series. It has a 5.8-inch deep that allows viewers to see the flames, ember bed and not the frame. The media package includes driftwood logs in natural looks white pebbles, or clear glass crystals that add a luster to the embers and reflect the flames.

Gas wall-mounted fire places are also available in deep and shallow versions. When deciding the depth of your fireplace it is important to keep in mind that these fireplaces are considered to be supplementary heating sources and must be vented properly by a skilled professional. When determining the depth of a gas fireplace it is important to think about the length of the vent pipe and the size of the chimney.

It is crucial to read and adhere to the instructions provided by the manufacturer when mounting your fireplace. A professional installer is recommended in all instances. It is also best to have an extra person on hand when installing a gas fireplace.

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

Surface Mount

If you're unable, or prefer not to cut through your wall or build out an area to accommodate an electric fireplace, a surface mount provides an elegant and integrated style. Some models, like the Allusion line of electric fireplaces, can be positioned partially recessed into walls, without compromising heat output.

To begin the installation process, identify the area where you want your fireplace to be placed and make a mark using a pencil on the wall where the bracket will be erected. Use a stud-finder to locate the studs and place each bracket in front at least one stud to ensure stability. If a stud cannot be reached or is not suitable for your fireplace, make use of drywall anchors for support.

After you have determined the position of the mounting brackets on the wall, use a power drill to install them, making sure they are aligned correctly with the studs. If possible, attach each bracket to a stud to ensure strength and stability, however you can also use plastic anchors if necessary. Once the mounting brackets have been installed move the fireplace and hang it from the bracket. Once the fireplace is installed ensure that it is level.

Before you begin the installation, plug your fireplace in and ensure that all features work correctly. Then, light the fire, test the heating, the lights for the ember bed and so on. Once you are happy with the results it is time to put in the floating mantel.

Depending on the model of your fireplace, you'll either require a 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. After you've completed this then, refer to the owner's manual for specific instructions for removing the glass front panel and installing it into the opening.

Once you've removed your front panel of your fireplace and inserted it in its opening, follow your manual's specifications to finish the install by replacing the glass front and adjusting the height if necessary. If your fireplace includes ember bed media spread it over the top grate for a more natural look. Secure it using the screws included.

Plug-In

These fireplaces with electric technology do not require chimneys or vents as do traditional wood fireplace-burning ones. Connected to a standard outlet, they can provide additional heating to rooms that are up to 400 square feet. They also come with a variety of heating and flame settings, so that you can alter the ambience. Some models have LED lighting effects that highlight the flame and embers. Some models have the top grille grate which conceals manual controls but can be opened to reveal pushbuttons to select the setting you prefer.

Electric fireplaces that plug in can be mounted directly on walls or built into the wall to create an aesthetically pleasing appearance. They are typically more straightforward to install than mantel fireplaces. Some come with pedestal bases to permit you to put the fireplace on a flat surface, such as buffets or dressers. A remote control, mounting hardware and log set are included. Electric fireplaces are able to include both flame and heat options that can be removed to create a year-round atmosphere.

Certain models come with adjustable privacy glass that you can change instantly from fully transparent to partially. These models are popular for walls that divide spaces for entertainment like dining and living rooms. They can be even used in bedrooms where adding the fireplace is a cost-effective way to reduce the chill in an area without compromising privacy.

Plug-in electric fire places do not require hardwiring, but they should be mounted on an area that can support their weight. Certain models come with a kit that comes with a pre-wired cord as well as a special bracket that makes the installation process easier. This kit can be used for either the installation of drywall or concrete.

When deciding on a place for your wall mount electric fireplace, make sure it is near an electrical outlet. Electric fire places that plug in can be plugged in to outlets that are on the same circuit as the electric fireplace, or into a separate outlet. It is suggested to use a separate circuit so that no other appliances in your home can run on the same voltage. This could cause a trip to your circuit breaker.
