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

A fireplace that is built-in gives an elegant, polished look without having to pay for mantles. It is one of easiest electric fireplaces.

However, there are several factors to consider before purchasing your in-wall fireplace. To get the most value from your investment, consider these suggestions:.

Height

It might seem like a simple issue however, determining the height of your fireplace is one of the biggest decisions you will make. This is because the height of your fireplace will impact everything from how well it fits into a space to how easily it can be seen. The fireplace may appear odd if it is raised too high. It can also diminish its attractiveness. On the other side, having your fireplace too low can make it appear unattractive in the wall space.

Electric fireplaces can be erected at various levels. The majority of people install their fireplaces in a seated position at eye level. This requires a height between 40 and 42 inches. Some people mount their fireplaces under their TVs. This can be an attractive option.

However, the size of your fireplace will be determined by a few things, including the dimensions of the room as well as the length of the wall you'd like to place it. The larger a room is larger, the more spacious it can be which could mean that you can install more of a fireplace. The length of a wall is also important because a wall that is longer can accommodate a bigger fireplace.

The way you intend to use your fireplace is another important aspect. If you plan to use it for decorative purposes, a smaller level will work better. However, if you plan to use it to heat your home using it, you'll need to make sure that the fireplace is tall enough to satisfy local codes and safety standards.

Having the proper height for your tabletop fireplace will help to make sure that it is in line with the decor of the room and is easy to work on when cleaning or filling it. If you're unsure of the height to go with you can always contact an experienced fireplace installer for assistance. They can recommend the ideal height for your fireplace, in accordance with their expertise and the design of your home's design.

Depth

The depth of a fireplace is crucial to know if you want to install it in a recessed position. If you plan to cut into your wall, ensure that you have enough space to accommodate the interior design of your fireplace (the smoke shelf above the firebox, the flue that is able to rise through the roof and the fireplace itself). You should also consider the space you have available for the surround and whether you would like a fireplace mantle.

Many of the more recent electric fireplace models have a depth which is almost invisible, creating an "integrated" look. The Panorama BI-Deep series is an excellent example of this type of electric fireplace that is wall-mounted. It has a 5.8-inch depth that lets the user see the flames and the ember bed and not the frame of the fireplace. It is also equipped with a range of media options, including natural-looking driftwood logs, white pebbles, or clear glass crystals that reflect the flames and enhance the ember bed.

Gas wall-mounted fireplaces can be found in both shallow and deep models. But, when deciding the depth of your fireplace, it is important to keep in mind that these fireplaces work as a heat source that can be used for supplemental purposes and should be properly vented by a skilled professional. When determining the depth for gas fireplaces, you need to consider the length of the vent pipe and the size of the chimney.

It is essential to read and carefully follow the directions of the manufacturer when installing your fireplace. In most cases, a professional installer is recommended. It is also a good idea to have a second person in the house for the installation of an fireplace.

Adding an in-wall fireplace to your home can be an great way to boost its value and also add ambiance to your living spaces. It can also reduce your heating expenses. It is an excellent option when you aren't able to fit a traditional fireplace in your home due to space constraints or because of the location of a chimney.

Surface Mount

Surface mounts are an excellent option if you don't want to or aren't able to cut into the wall to mount an electric tabletop Fireplace. They also give it a sleek, integrated look. Some models, such as the Allusion line, can even be installed partially recessed into the wall without compromising the heat output or aesthetics.

To start the installation process, identify the location where you would like your fireplace to be installed and make a mark with a pencil on the wall where the bracket will be put. Utilize a stud finder to find the studs in the area. Make sure each mounting bracket will be placed in the front of one or more studs to ensure stability. If a stud isn't within reach or won't work for your fireplace, make use of drywall anchors to support the mounting bracket.

Once you have identified the location of the mounting brackets on the wall and then use a power drill to install them and ensure that they are properly aligned with the studs. If possible, connect each bracket to a stud to ensure strength and stability, however you can also use anchors made of plastic when needed. Once the mounting brackets are in place, raise your fireplace and hang it on the wall bracket. Once the fireplace is positioned, make sure it is level.

Before you begin the installation, plug your fireplace in and make sure that all the features are working properly. Light the fire, test the flames, the heat, lighting of the ember bed, and so on. Once you are happy with the result, it's time to put in the floating mantel.

Based on the model of your ethanol fireplace, you'll either have to connect the wire connection to the appliance wire connector on 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, follow your fireplace's owner's manual to find specific instructions for removing the glass front panel and installing it inside the opening.

If you need to adjust the height, replace the glass front after you have removed the front panel. If your fireplace has ember bed media, spread it over the top of the grate to give it a a more natural appearance and then secure it in place by using the screws that come with it.

Plug-In

These fireplaces with electric technology do not require vents or chimneys like traditional wood-burning fireplaces. Connected to a standard outlet, they provide supplemental heating for rooms up to 400 square feet. They also offer multiple flame and heat settings to allow you to customize your ambience. Certain models have LED lighting effects that highlight the ember bed and the fire. Others include a top grille grate that conceals manual controls but pops open to reveal pushbuttons to select the setting you prefer.

Electric fire places with plug-ins can be installed directly on the wall or recessed to give the appearance of a built-in. These units are typically more straightforward to set up than a mantel fireplace. Some models come with a pedestal to permit you to place the fireplace on flat surfaces, such as a buffet or dresser. Included is a remote control, mounting hardware and the log set. Based on the model, these electric fireplaces may include both heating and flame options that can be turned off for all-year-round comfort.

Some models have privacy glass that can be adjusted instantly, from being fully transparent to partially transparent. These models are popular for walls that divide entertainment areas like dining and living rooms. They can even be used in bedrooms where adding the fireplace is an affordable way to take the chill off the space without sacrificing privacy.

Plug-in electric fire places do not need to be hardwired however they must be installed in an area that is able to support their weight. Some models include kits to make this process easier by providing a pre-wired power cord and a bracket for mounting. This kit can be used for drywall installation or concrete installation.

If you decide to install your electric fireplace in a wall ensure that it is close to an outlet. Plug-in electric fire places can be connected to outlets that are on the same circuit as the electric fireplace or into a separate outlet. It's best to use an exclusive circuit to ensure that no other appliances in the home will operate at the same voltage and potentially trip your breakers.
