They use less energy and can help you save money by reducing the amount of heat output to what you require. The 'flame-only' setting allows you to experience the hypnotic dance of the flames, without the need to increase the heat. This is ideal for rooms that have little or no need for heat.
Inset vs. wall-hung
Media wall electric fires are offered in two main styles: inset and wall-mounted. Inset models, such as the Vision Futura 1500 or the Evonic Halo 1500 XT, are recessed into the wall. They offer a flush finish, seamlessly merging into the wall to create a neat appearance. Inset electric fireplaces are more costly and require an existing opening.
The most efficient electric media wall fireplaces, like the Hall and Elgin Pryzm Arteon 3, are wall-hung. They are easy to install and don't require an existing opening in the wall since they aren't recessed into the wall. Some models come in various finishes and trims that can be customized to your decor. Wall-mounted models can still protrude from the wall and may not work for all styles of rooms. They also can hinder the flow of air in smaller spaces because they'll likely spread heat upwards rather than across the room.
3. Vision Futura 1500
A fireplace with electric technology can be the perfect finish to a wall with media, creating a mesmerising focal feature that is enjoyable to sit in front of. Modern fires are packed with innovative features that will make your home more attractive. They come with a flame-effect only setting which saves energy, and a cooling option to cool the summer evenings.
A media wall is an area for your entertainment setup, usually with a TV and sound system, but could also contain gaming consoles and other devices that you frequently use. This type of space is a modern response to the entertainment centres of the past and can provide a sleek, well-organized look while also freeing up floor space in the room.
Modern electric fires can be mounted on the wall, and based on the style, they can be freestanding or inset. Inset fires are designed to be placed partially into the fireplace opening. This makes them easier to install, and they can look more integrated into your living space. Freestanding fires such as the Gallery Collection Hopton and Dimplex Danville are great for those who do not have fireplace recesses and can be moved from room to room to make it more flexible.
Regardless of the installation method you select, always ensure the fire is situated near a power outlet so that you can plug it in and test the functions prior to installing. You'll also want to locate the fire away from combustible materials, as per regulations.
Keep in mind that the majority of electric fireplaces for media walls offer a low heat output and are ideal for supplementary heating to your central heating systems. They're not suitable for heating large, open spaces and will take the edge off an icy room. Some models come with a convenient remote control with several heat settings and backlighting options to suit your mood and the ambience.
4. Evonic Halo 1500 XT
For those with limited space for a freestanding fireplace media wall electric fireplaces are a great alternative. They are powered by electricity, so you don't have to be concerned about gas lines or hauling in logs. You can control them from your couch. They usually produce just enough warmth to take the edge off an icy room and make it cosier.
They are available in a variety of sizes and shapes, so you can pick the one that will best fit your media wall. Most are designed to be installed into a recess or a cavity but some are mounted directly on the wall to create a more minimalist look. Inset models also offer better heat distribution since they're not obstructed by the chimney.
If you opt for a front-mounted model the Evonic Halo 1500 XT (formerly Lita) features an extended flame image to enhance its aesthetic appeal and provide an extra dimension to the visual. The range's intelligent integration is another plus which lets you control the flame from your phone or tablet via an app. This is useful if you are away from home or on the go, as it helps to save energy.
