An Electric Fire Place Wall Adds Warmth and Ambiance to Any Room

A fireplace that is mounted on a wall can add warmth and ambiance to any room. These units are easy to set up and look stunning.

Create an attractive feature Wall

While the most well-known electric fireplace wall is mounted to a flat surface such as wood paneling or drywall It is possible to create your own using built-ins and other types of materials to create depth and dimension. For instance, adding an elongated or corner fireplace to a wall is an ideal option to frame a TV in your living space or in your den and also give the room some extra personality.

You can go as bold or simple as you'd like with your feature wall's texture, color, and style. For instance, if you're attracted by natural elements, stone accent walls are a great way to simultaneously give texture depth and a sense of balance and order. Accent walls with black create a moody ambiance that is a great match for warm or cool hues. They can be utilized in any setting such as modern minimalist, industrial or even eclectic.

In general, Kuefler states that although installing a wall-mounted fireplace is fairly simple, it's always a good idea to follow the instructions that come with the model. It's because some models require special framing or hanging methods that require careful evaluation.

If you are using a recess-mounted mounting, for instance it is possible that the fireplace needs to be fully framed on your wall and then covered in a fire-resistant material. This usually means H2 framing wood, the plasterboard or fibre cement sheet. "This ensures that the fireplace is protected by a fire-proof material," she explains.

After your cladding has been completed, you can put the electric fireplace in the hole already created in your wall. This hole will be mostly constructed from LVL (engineered wood beams). Then you can finish the look with mantel and surround and finish it off with an TV mount.

A recessed electric fireplace will not heat your walls as effectively as gas fireplaces. Kuefler says that traditional gas fireplaces emit a lot heat from the sides and the top.

While you can still mount your flat screen TV above most gas fireplaces due to safety reasons, it is not recommended for traditional models. She says that "the smoke and the rising heat may cause damage to the electronics inside your television." With an electric fireplace, this isn't an issue because there's no venting.

A wall of electric fire can be built around an masonry or wood-burning fireplace. A fireplace that is recessed may be inserted into studs on the wall either in a partial or completely (depending on the model) and finished with a mantel to give it an integrated look. It can be wired to the wall, but it is possible to also simply plug into an outlet of a standard size, though it is usually done with a separate circuit that only serves the fireplace.

Since an electrical fireplace doesn't require venting, it is possible to install one almost everywhere, even close to a bath or shower. But, make certain that there is a GFI (Ground Fault Interrupter) circuit or receptacle has been installed and placed to shield the fireplace from water intrusion during showering or bathing. For added security, ceiling exhaust fans should be operating when bathing or showering to draw moisture out of the room.

A fireplace that is recessed is a fantastic option for rooms with high ceilings, as it can help to reduce the perception of height and make the room seem larger. Follow the instructions of the manufacturer for framing the fireplace and installing it in the wall and any additional instructions for putting up drywall.

A bookcase or cabinet either side of the window could be used to create a frame around it. This creates a customized appearance and helps balance the fireplace's height with the TV and other décor objects that are placed on the wall. Gray Space Interiors, for example, paired a large stone wall fireplace with two upper-half windows and an inbuilt white on each side.

You can also use floating shelves for your fireplace and flat screen. This creates a modern and sleek look which can be easily adjusted to fit any space. You can create a contemporary entertainment wall by combining a long linear electric fireplace with an Frame television above, as shown in the basement media room of Maite Granda.

Create a Niche

If you are a fan of the look of a fireplace, but do not want to deal with venting or gas lines the fire, an electric fireplace wall may be just what you need. A lot of these fireplaces can be operated with no heating, creating a cozy atmosphere for summer evenings and adding to the appearance of your home. Electric fireplaces are available with optional accessories like crystals, pebbles, or logs that you can add to the flames.

Contrary to gas fireplaces that often require expensive chimneys and venting systems, electric fireplaces do not extend from the wall at all, Kuefler says. Some electric fireplaces are available with a trim kit that can make them appear as an integrated unit.

An electrician may be able to put in an electric fireplace built-in, but it is more difficult than installing a freestanding fireplace, or recessed hearth that is made of drywall. This is because a built-in fireplace is completely finished to the wall, and you'll have to tear down a portion of the wall.

A built-in electric fire place is often more cost-effective than installing new drywall, or converting a fireplace made of wood into an electric fire place. It can be constructed of stone or brick, and includes an edging and mantel. Some even come with remotes to control the fire and flames which makes them a great choice for busy homes or rooms where people are gathered.

Installing a wall mounted electric fireplace is a breeze and can be accomplished by a homeowner over a weekend. The most crucial step is to attach the brackets for mounting to the studs in the wall. If you don't do this properly, your fireplace could be thrown off and cause damage to the home.

Once the brackets have been installed, you can mount your fireplace. The method varies from model to model, but all models come with an ledge for the bracket at the bottom and a spot for attaching the fireplace on the studs on the top. Certain models include an installation kit as well as detailed instructions.

While you can purchase a stand-alone electric fireplace that can be moved from room to room but it is recommended to go with a built-in unit for maximum stability and security. You can choose a recessed model that comes with a fan to pull warm air down from the ceiling. This will make the space feel more spacious and comfortable.

Create a Cozy Cottage look

A fireplace can be a focal point in the living area in the cottage style home. The white finish adds warmth to the room and complements the bright colors throughout. It also helps the room feel larger and brighter. Adding shelving above or beside the fireplace is a great way to display decorative items such as candles, books and family photos to create a warm and inviting environment.

You can construct a cottage fireplace wall using natural stone or recycled wood. Or, you can make use of a more contemporary material such as stacked walls. Your personal style may determine the material you choose. A stone facade will give a warm and substantial look to the room, while a mantel made of reclaimed wood will give the illusion of time. If you're drawn to more modern styles of design such as Bauhaus, an eye-catching geometric pattern can be integrated into your masonry wall to show off the MagikFlame flame effects.

If you're planning to create an inviting, rustic style with your electric fireplace, consider adding the hearth to the overall design of the room. You can create this look by adding a wooden bench built-in storage, windows that sit on either side of your fireplace. This will make it appear as if it's always been there. A concrete or brick hearth can make an electric fireplace appear more authentic.

It is crucial to choose a builder who is experienced in this type of installation if you want to build a fireplace that is built-in. In contrast to a recessed fireplace that can be removed and relocated if you're moving to a new home, a fireplace built-in will have to be cut into the wall before being wired into electricity. A professional can provide advice on where to install a built-in fire place in your home, and also on how to finish the walls surrounding it for a seamless, attractive look. They can also help you choose the appropriate material for your hearth and surround, as well as a mantel that is suitable for your room.
