In Wall Fireplace - How to Choose the Right Height and Depth for Your Fireplace
An in-wall fireplace gives an elegant and polished look without the expense of mantles. It is one of the most simple electric fireplaces to install.
There are a few things to think about before purchasing an in-wall fireplace. To get the most value from your investment, consider these suggestions:.
Height
It may seem like an easy question however, determining the height of your fireplace suite is among the most important decisions you'll make. The height of your fireplace can influence everything, from how well it fits in a room to its visibility. The fireplace might appear strange if it is raised too high. It will also detract from its attractiveness. A fireplace that is too low will be lost within the wall space.
Electric fireplaces can be placed at different heights. For instance, most people prefer to put their fireplaces at eye level from a sitting position. This requires a height between 40 and 42 inches. Some people place their fireplaces beneath their TVs. This is an attractive alternative.
The height of your fireplace is contingent on a number of factors that include the dimensions and length of the wall you plan to put it on. The larger a room is, the more spacious it will appear, and this might 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 larger fireplace.
Another important aspect to consider is how you intend to make use of your fireplace. If you intend to use it only for decoration, then it is recommended to choose a lower height. If you want to use it to heat your home, you will need to make sure that the fireplace is tall and sturdy enough to meet the safety standards.

You should also consider the space you will have for the surround, and whether or not you want a mantle.
Many of the newer electric fireplaces have a depth that is nearly concealed, giving them an almost "built-in" appearance. This kind of electric wall fireplace is best exemplified by the Panorama BI Deep series. The model is 5.8-inch depth that lets viewers to view the flames and the ember bed, but not the frame. It also comes with a choice of media options, including natural-looking driftwood logs white Fireplace pebbles, crystals made of clear glass that reflect the flames and improve the ember bed.

When deciding on the depth of your fireplace, it is important to remember that these fireplaces are supplementary heat sources and should be properly vented by a skilled professional. When determining the depth for a gas fireplace, you need to think about the length of the vent pipe and the size of the chimney.

To begin the installation, mark the wall with a pencil where the bracket will be installed. Use a stud-finder for locating the studs and then place each bracket in front at least one stud for stability. If a stud isn't in reach or doesn't work for your fireplace, you can use anchors for drywall to support the mounting bracket.
Once you have marked the location of mounting brackets on the wall using a power drill, you can use it to install them and make sure they are in alignment with the studs. You can use plastic anchors or studs to secure each bracket. After the mounting brackets are in place, lift your fireplace, then hang it from the wall bracket. Once the fireplace is in place, make sure it is level.
Before you begin the installation Plug in your fireplace and make sure all functions function properly. Start the fire, play around with the heat, the ember bed lights and so on. When you are satisfied with the results, it's time to install the floating mantel.
Depending on your fireplace's model It is possible to connect the wire connection to the appliance connector located at the mantel's bottom, or if it has hooks or slots connected to slots on the mounting brackets. Once you've done that then, refer to the owner's manual for specific directions for removing the glass front panel and installing it inside the opening.
Once you've removed the front panel of your fireplace and installed it into its opening, follow the guideline to complete the install by replacing the glass front and adjusting the height as needed. If your fireplace stove has ember bed media spread it across the top grate to give it a more natural look. Then, secure it with the screws included.

They're plugged into an outlet that is standard that can provide supplemental heating for rooms that are up 400 square feet in size. They also have a variety of flame and heat settings so that you can alter the ambience. Certain models have LED lighting effects that accentuate the ember bed and fire. Some models have a grille on top that conceals the manual controls, however they it can be opened easily to reveal pushbuttons.
Plug-in electric fireplaces can be hung directly on walls or built into the wall to create an elegant look. These fireplaces are usually simpler to set up than mantel fireplaces. Some models have a pedestal that allow you place the fireplace on flat surfaces like a buffet or dresser. A remote control along with mounting hardware and a log set are also included. Based on the model, electric fireplaces could include heating and flame options that can be turned off for all-year-round comfort.
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 living and dining areas. These models are ideal in bedrooms, where adding a fireplace is a cost-effective way to warm up a room and ensure privacy.
While plug-in electric fireplaces don't require a hardwire like traditional fireplaces, they must be installed on an area that is at a minimum not stud-free and is able to support the weight of the fireplace. Some models include kits to make this process more simple, including an electrical power cord that is pre-wired and an specialized mounting bracket. This kit can be used for either the installation of drywall or concrete.
When deciding where to put your wall mount electric fireplace, ensure that it's close to an electrical outlet. Electric fire places with plug-ins can be connected to outlets on the same circuit as the electric fireplace, or into a separate outlet. It is best to choose an exclusive circuit to ensure that no other appliances in the home will operate at the same voltage and potentially trip your breaker.
