The Best Electric Fires For Media Walls
If you're looking for a way to create warmth, ambience and a focal point on your media wall, look no further than an electric fire. The majority of them use LED lights to produce stunning flame effects, as well as having a lower heat output than traditional fireplaces.
They also have features such as open window detection ambient lighting kits, as well as music synchronization.
1. British Fires New Forest 1600
This fireplace is designed to deliver an amazing flame display that stretches across the entire flame. This centrepiece can transform your home with its rich, authentic fire colours. They capture the nuances of an individual log from the New Forest National Park. The signature logs are crafted to the highest standards and are sat on top of husks and wood chips that create a warm and earthy atmosphere.
The patented air-curtain technology is designed to distribute heat throughout your space efficiently. Electric fires are a better alternative to gas fires that typically require an open chimney for operation. They do not emit smoke or carbon monoxide and are also more eco-friendly.
A black trim that can be added as an option with anti-reflective glass on the front and deluxe real logs can be added to improve the appearance of this stunning fireplace. The electric fire is available in a range of styles that include corner, flush, and 3-sided.
This fireplace is perfect for the media wall. Its compact framing dimensions permit it to be inserted on a pre-built mock wall or you can skip the fireplace entirely and put it directly onto the wall with a wall mount kit.
This electric fire was inspired by the natural beauty that can be found in the New Forest of Hampshire. The signature logs are made to the highest standards and capture every detail that would be found on a wooded log in the New Forest National Park. The LED flame visuals, set against a background of husks and wood chips create a natural woodland scene that is cozy and modern.
2. Elgin & Hall Pryzm Arteon 3-SL
This striking electric fire that has an opening in the wall is designed to be installed on 1, 2, or 3 sides straight out of its box. It will mesmerize you and captivate your interest. Featuring an exceptional 5D flame effect and an impressive multi-LED effect fuel bed with 13 colour options and rotation setting, it's the perfect centrepiece for your media wall. Its discreet heater provides a cosy 1.5kW of heat that can be managed by a 7-day thermostat control that can be programmed to adjust flame settings and fuel bed colours.
The most effective wall-mounted electric fires aren't just amazing visual treats, they're also planet-friendly. By reducing their heat output to just the amount of ambient warmth that you require, they use less energy, thereby saving money on your electricity bills. The "flame only" option lets you enjoy the hypnotic sway of the flames without having to turn up the heating, perfect for rooms that don't require much heat.
Inset vs. wall-hung
Media wall electric fires come in two main styles: wall-mounted and inset. Inset models like the Vision Futura 1500 and the Evonic Halo 1500 XT are installed into walls with a flush-finish that blends seamlessly with walls surrounding it. However, inset electric fires require an opening that is already in place and are a little more expensive than their freestanding counterparts.
The best electric media wall fires like the Hall and Elgin Pryzm Arteon 3 are wall-hung. They are easy to set up and don't require an opening in the wall because they're not recessed into it. Certain models are available in a variety of finishes and trims that can be customized to fit your style. Wall-mounted models can still protrude from the wall and not suit all room designs. They can also hinder the flow of air in smaller spaces as they will likely spread heat upwards instead of across the room.
3. Vision Futura 1500
Electric fires are the perfect addition to a media wall. They create an eye-catching focal point that is mesmerising and a delight to sit in front. Modern fires are packed with modern features that can make your home more attractive. They have a flame-effect-only setting that saves energy, and a cooling option for summer nights.
A media wall is an space for your entertainment setup, typically with a TV and sound system but may include gaming consoles and other devices that you frequently use. This type of space is a modern response to the traditional entertainment centres of the past and can give a sleek and organised aesthetic while also making floor space available in the room.
Modern electric fires can be placed on the wall, and depending on the style, they can be inset or freestanding. Inset fires are designed to be placed partially in a fireplace opening. This makes them much easier to install and will look more harmonious in your living space. Freestanding fires such as the Gallery Collection Hopton and Dimplex Danville are great for those who don't have fireplace recesses and can be moved between rooms for flexibility.
No matter which installation method you choose, always place the fire near a power socket to ensure that you can plug in the device and test it prior to fitting. You should also ensure that you place the fire away from any combustible substances, as per the regulations.
Be aware that the majority of electric fireplaces for wall use offer a small amount of heat and should be utilized to complement your central heating system. They're not suited for heating large, open spaces and can only take the edge off an icy room. Some models come with a handy remote with a variety of heating settings and backlighting options to suit your mood or ambience.
4. Evonic Halo 1500 XT
Media wall electric fires offer an excellent alternative for those with small space. Instead of having to haul in logs and mess with gas lines, these fires are powered by electricity and offer stunning flames that can be controlled from the comfort of your couch. They can provide enough heat to make a room more comfortable and less cold.
A wide range of sizes are available for these fires, meaning you can choose a model that will fit perfectly on your wall. Some models can be mounted directly on the wall while others are designed to fit into an opening or cavity. Inset models tend to provide better heat distribution since they do not block a chimney.
If you choose one that is mounted front-to-back one of the Evonic Halo 1500 XT (formerly Lita) features an extended flame picture to enhance its aesthetic appeal and provide an extra dimension to the visual. The range's intelligent integration is another plus that lets you control the flame from your phone or tablet via an app. This is useful for those who are not at home or on the go and helps save energy.
