How to Choose the Right Height for an on the Wall Fireplace

A fireplace on the wall can create a beautiful focal point in any living room. It can be hung either above the couch or in the seating area to create a cozy and warm environment for your family, and guests.

Some models can be partially integrated into the wall to create an aesthetically pleasing look. This requires more work and could require DIYers to step out of their comfort zone.

Height

When installing a media wall, choosing the proper height of an on-wall fireplace is an important decision. While the fireplace must be low enough to be viewed from most places of seating, it should also be high enough that it can produce sufficient warmth for a comfortable living space.

When choosing a height for wall-mounted fires it is essential to take into consideration the amount of heat it produces as well as how close to the floor it will be and what else may be mounted above it. If a gas or electrical fireplace is too low in height, the heat it generates will be dissipated quickly and combustible items could easily ignite. This could cause a fire in the house and decrease the efficiency of the fireplace.

To avoid this, pick a fireplace that has a narrow opening for the fireplace or a chimney venting system that is high. This will ensure that heat is efficiently and safely dissipated.

Another consideration is what the room is used for. If the room will be used primarily to relax, socialising or watching TV, a larger fireplace is a good choice. If it is used to heat the house, a lower fireplace is better.

Most people prefer to mount the fireplace at eye-level while they are seated in a chair. This is approximately 40-42 inches above the floor. However, some prefer to put their fireplace underneath a TV, and this may be a good option, provided that the TV is not too close to the heater, or it could be damaged by the heat.

Based on the type of fireplace, it can also be useful to consider the kind of storage that will be needed above the fire. If you have an electric fireplace, it may be beneficial to put an endboard or credenza above the fireplace to keep the fireplace's surface clean. This will give the fireplace an airy, modern appearance. It can also make the fireplace appear larger.

Installation

A wall-mounted fireplace can be an excellent addition to a wall of media. It is a great option for homeowners who prefer a sleeker appearance that fits better with the structure of the media wall. It's also easier and quicker to install than a fireplace integrated.

Start by choosing a spot that lets you move freely around the fireplace. Also, make sure that there aren't any burning items in the vicinity. Then, take a measurement of the length of your wall and make sure that it's large enough to accommodate the fireplace insert which is at least 40-42" in height. It's also an ideal idea to have someone help you when you're installing your fireplace, as it's a heavy thing to install.

Based on the model of fireplace you select, the fireplace may need to be attached directly to the wall studs or to a bracket already installed on the wall. If you're installing a direct to wall model, make sure to check the owner's manual for details on how to mount it. If you're using a bracket-mounted model attach the bracket to the wall by using screws and wallboard toggle-bolt anchors. Use a stud-finder to locate the screw locations.

Once the bracket is in place, attach the fireplace using the tabs at the lower part of your fireplace, and the hooks on the top of the bracket. Follow the instructions in the owner’s manual when your model has a front-glass panel that needs to be removed prior to installation.

First, you'll need to put the frame of your electric fireplace in the spot you have designated on the wall. Then, it will be hung from the bracket. After you've completed this step, you can either use a drill to create holes for the mounting bracket, or sand any rough spots on the wall.

Once you've drilled the holes, insert rawl plugs and screw them into the mounting bracket. Some wall-mounted models have hooks or slots at the back. You can then insert the hooks from the back into the slots of the mounting bracket.

Safety

The good news is that both electric and ethanol wall fireplaces are safe to use provided that the appropriate safety measures are in place. Regular inspections are needed to ensure that the fireplace is in good working order and displays no signs of wear. Keep the fireplace away from any material that is flammable like carpets, furniture, or paper. If you have children, make sure they know not to touch the flames, and to keep them away from the fireplace at all times. Make sure that you turn off the flames before you go to bed or leave the house.

When installing an on the wall fireplace, it is crucial to follow all manufacturer instructions. It is essential to be aware of the dimensions and weight requirements and the clearance zone for heat. If you are using an appliance above the fireplace suite, it is important to make sure that the TV and the fireplace are within the appropriate heat zones. The additional weight of the television can put pressure on the fireplace which could cause it to collapse and cause injury to you or your family members.

Electric and ethanol wall fire places can generate a lot of heat that can cause burns to you. If you have kids, consider putting a safe-to-touch screen on your fireplace to protect them from burning their hands. This screen remains at a lower temperature when the marble fireplace is in use and won't burn anyone who touches it.

To stop sparks from accidentally sparking flammable items such as books and toys Keep them out of the fireplace. Additionally, you should regularly clean your fireplace to remove any accumulation of ash or soot. This will reduce the chance of fire hazards.

One of the most common mistakes that homeowners make when installing a on the wall fireplace is to not ensure that the fireplace has been turned off before they go to sleep or leave the home. This is a serious mistake that could lead to fires or electrical malfunctions.

Style

A wall-mounted fireplace is one of the most popular features that can be integrated into a media wall. It is usually installed under a flat-screen television and it is essential that the fireplace is in compliance with certain requirements for installation. The height at which it is mounted can be a factor but it is important to take into consideration the heat it generates. A fireplace that is set on the wall will typically release heat from the vent at the front, whereas an open-air fireplace mounted might emit heat from the top or the bottom. For media walls, it is popular to mount a fireplace recessed at a height of 40-42 inches above the floor. This allows you to observe it from a sitting location.

It is possible to find wall-mounted electric fires in a variety of styles. However, it is best to match the style to the overall style of the room. This will ensure that the media wall flows smoothly and is well-integrated. A number of companies offer a variety of electric wall-mounted fireplaces including Amantii and Dimplex. Both brands are known for their quality and are quick to respond when customers provide feedback on how to improve the products.

A media wall can be designed to accommodate a TV or other electronic devices. Some people choose to use the recessed fire place as an entertainment center, while others want to combine a TV and wall-mounted fireplace. Selecting a wall that is able to accommodate both will be more convenient and more efficient.

The primary drawback of a wall-mounted fireplace is that it can feel more permanent than freestanding electric fireplaces with mantel. Although it is possible to move the fireplace from one place to another, doing so will require the removal of brackets for mounting. If the fireplace is located in a stud, it will be difficult to mount televisions or other equipment.
